USTM PP filter element 10" BB, 20 micron for water filtration

USTM PP filter element 10" BB with a 20 micron rating is a polypropylene-wound sediment cartridge designed for use in standard 10" Big Blue housings. It captures suspended solids and insoluble contaminants to protect downstream water equipment and subsequent filtration stages, and is intended primarily for low-pressure water installations and prefiltration at household or light-commercial connections.

Advantages

The polypropylene yarn construction provides consistent mechanical filtration with up to 20 μm retention, compatible with standard 10" BB housings. The cartridge helps reduce turbidity and protects pumps, valves and finer filters from sand and silt. It is a replaceable, easy-to-install element with flow performance suitable for typical household and small commercial applications.

Suitable for

• Pre-filtration at main water inlets
• Household water filtration systems
• Light commercial sediment removal
• Protecting downstream filters and equipment from sand and silt

How to use

Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before replacing the cartridge. Remove the housing cap, extract the spent cartridge and insert the USTM PP 10" BB element ensuring proper seating in the housing. Reassemble the housing, restore water supply and check for leaks. Follow the filter housing manufacturer's instructions for installation torque and sealing.

Usage recommendations

Replace the cartridge when flow noticeably decreases or every 6 months or after approximately 20,000 L, whichever comes first. For best results use in a 10" BB standard housing and pair with finer-post filters if higher purity is required.
