Wessper water filter cartridge 10" polypropylene foam 5 micron – replacement filter WES6002

Wessper water filter cartridge 10" polypropylene foam 5 micron is a replacement sediment filter designed for residential water filtration. The cartridge fits standard 10" housings and provides nominal 5 µm particulate retention, capturing sand, rust, silt and other suspended solids. It is intended for use as a pre-filter or whole-house sediment cartridge to improve water clarity and protect downstream appliances, fixtures and membranes.

Advantages

This polypropylene foam cartridge offers reliable sediment removal with a nominal 5 micron rating while maintaining low flow resistance in common household systems. Its 10-inch length and standard diameter make it compatible with widely used filter housings, enabling quick replacement without tools in most setups. The foam structure provides consistent particle capture across the cartridge depth and helps extend the life of subsequent filters or reverse osmosis membranes by reducing solid load.

Suitable for

• Pre-filtration in under-sink and countertop systems
• Whole-house sediment protection
• Protecting water-using appliances such as washing machines and dishwashers
• Improving clarity before carbon or membrane filtration stages

Key specifications

• Cartridge type: polypropylene foam depth filter
• Length: 10 inches (standard household size)
• Filtration rating: nominal 5 micron
• Particle capture: sand, rust, silt and suspended solids
• Compatibility: standard 10" filter housings for residential systems
• Flow characteristics: designed for low pressure drop in typical domestic flows

How to use

Turn off the water supply and relieve pressure in the filter housing before replacing the cartridge. Remove the housing cap, extract the used cartridge and dispose of it according to local regulations. Insert the new Wessper 10" polypropylene foam cartridge into the housing, ensuring correct orientation and a proper seat on the housing sump. Reassemble the housing, restore water supply and check for leaks. Flush the system for a short period until water runs clear before normal use.

Usage recommendations

Replace the cartridge according to local water quality and usage; inspect periodically for visible fouling or reduced flow. When used as a pre-filter ahead of carbon or RO stages, change intervals may differ — more frequent replacement is advisable in high-sediment conditions to preserve downstream filter life. Use in compatible 10" housings and avoid exposure to chemicals or temperatures beyond the housing and cartridge specifications.
