Wessper 10" String Water Filter Cartridge, 5 Micron, WES6001

The Wessper 10" String Water Filter Cartridge with 5 micron rating is a mechanical filtration element designed for removal of sediment, rust, sand and particulate matter from household water supplies. It fits standard 10-inch filter housings and is intended for use as a primary sediment filter or as a pre-filter for reverse osmosis and other water treatment systems. The cartridge's string-wound construction captures particles throughout the depth of the element, providing extended service life compared with surface-only filters.

Advantages

The string-wound design offers depth filtration that traps a wide range of particle sizes, helping to protect downstream equipment such as faucets, valves and membranes. A 5-micron nominal rating balances effective sediment removal with acceptable flow characteristics for residential systems. Its standard 10-inch size ensures compatibility with common housings and under-sink installations, simplifying replacement and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Residential cold water sediment filtration
• Pre-filtration ahead of reverse osmosis systems
• Under-sink and point-of-use filter housings
• Protection of household appliances, valves and plumbing from particulate damage

Key specifications

• Filter type: string-wound depth cartridge
• Filtration rating: 5 micron (nominal)
• Length: 10 inches (standard size)
• Material: multi-layer wound fiber construction
• Application: mechanical removal of sediment, rust, sand and particulates

How to use

Install the cartridge into a compatible 10-inch filter housing following the housing manufacturer's instructions. Shut off water supply and relieve pressure before removing the housing cap. Insert the cartridge ensuring proper seating on the housing sump or center post, then reassemble and restore water flow. Replace the cartridge at regular intervals or when a noticeable drop in flow rate or increased turbidity indicates reduced performance.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, pair this 5-micron sediment cartridge with a carbon post-filter or membrane stage where chemical or taste/odor treatment is required. Inspect the cartridge periodically and replace it sooner in systems with heavy sediment load to avoid clogging and reduced flow.
