Water filter cartridge USTM 5" PP, polypropylene depth filter, 5 micron

USTM 5" PP is a polypropylene depth filter cartridge designed to mechanically remove sand, dirt and rust particles from water. The cartridge captures contaminants down to 5 microns and is intended primarily as a pre-filter for household and light commercial water treatment systems. It fits standard 5" filter housings and helps protect downstream equipment while improving water clarity.

Advantages

The polypropylene construction provides chemical resistance and stable performance across the recommended temperature range. The 5 micron rating ensures effective retention of fine sediment and rust particles. Compact 5-inch height and compatibility with standard housings make the cartridge easy to install and replace. The cartridge offers a service life up to 10,000 litres or up to 6 months under typical conditions.

Suitable for

• Pre-filtration in household water systems
• Light commercial water treatment applications
• Protection of water-using appliances and downstream filters
• Removal of sand, sediment and rust particles

Key specifications

• Type: Polypropylene depth filter cartridge
• Filtration rating: 5 micron
• Height: 5 inches
• Maximum recommended flow: 10 L/min
• Service life: up to 10,000 L or up to 6 months

How to use

Install the USTM 5" PP cartridge into a compatible 5" filter housing following the housing manufacturer's instructions. Flush the filter briefly after installation until the water runs clear. Replace the cartridge when the specified service life is reached (up to 10,000 litres or 6 months) or sooner if flow rate or water quality declines. Ensure system pressure and temperature remain within the specified limits during operation.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use this cartridge as a pre-filter ahead of finer filtration stages or sensitive equipment. Monitor pressure drop across the filter and replace the cartridge earlier in high-sediment conditions. Store spare cartridges in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight.
