Viteco polypropylene cartridge G8WFSP10-5 for 10" PS 5 micron water filter

Viteco polypropylene cartridge G8WFSP10-5 is a 10" PS-format sediment filter manufactured for mechanical removal of suspended solids and particulates from water. Rated at 5 microns, this cartridge is intended for use in standard 10" pressure-seal (PS) housings and offers consistent filtration performance to protect downstream equipment, reduce turbidity and extend the service life of finer filter stages.

Advantages

The cartridge uses spun polypropylene media that resists chemical degradation and is suitable for a wide range of water conditions. Its nominal 5 μm rating delivers reliable removal of sand, rust, silt and other particulates while maintaining stable flow rates in residential and light commercial systems. The standardized 10" PS size ensures straightforward compatibility with common housings and enables quick replacement without special tools.

Suitable for

• Pre-filtration before activated carbon or membrane stages
• Protection of household appliances and plumbing fixtures
• Point-of-entry systems in homes, offices and small businesses
• General sediment removal from municipal or well water

Key specifications

• Filter material: spun polypropylene
• Filter type: depth sediment cartridge
• Nominal filtration rating: 5 microns
• Length: 10 inches (standard PS size)
• Compatibility: standard 10" PS filter housings
• Operating temperature: suitable for cold water applications (check housing limits)
• Flow characteristics: designed for typical residential flow rates

How to use

Insert the cartridge into a compatible 10" PS housing following the housing manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the system is depressurized before removing the housing cap or used cartridge. Position the cartridge correctly with the closed end toward the incoming water if required by the housing design, then close and secure the housing. Replace the cartridge according to observed pressure drop or the maintenance schedule; inspect O-rings and seals and lubricate or replace them as needed.

Usage recommendations

Monitor differential pressure across the filter and replace the cartridge when flow decreases or pressure drop increases noticeably. For heavily turbid or high-suspended-solid sources, consider a coarser pre-filter or more frequent cartridge changes. Store replacement cartridges in a clean, dry location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
