Water sediment string filter wessper WES6006 10 µm, household inline cartridge

Wessper WES6006 is a wound sediment cartridge with a 10 µm filtration rating designed for household inline water filtration. The cartridge is manufactured to retain suspended solids such as rust particles, sand, silt and other coarse contaminants. Intended for use in cold water lines, the filter serves as a pre-filter to protect taps, water-using appliances and downstream filtration stages from premature clogging.

Advantages

The wound construction provides a gradated density that captures larger particles on the outer layers and finer particles deeper in the cartridge, extending service life compared to simple screens. The 10 µm nominal rating balances sediment removal and flow rate for typical domestic water pressure. The cartridge is compatible with standard inline housings used in point-of-entry and point-of-use installations and is suitable for use ahead of membrane filters and plumbing fixtures to reduce maintenance and prolong component life.

Suitable for

• Inline pre-filtration on cold water supply lines
• Point-of-entry systems for whole-house sediment reduction
• Point-of-use installations protecting taps and drinking water outlets
• Pre-filtration ahead of reverse osmosis or carbon filters
• Protecting washing machines, dishwashers and water heaters from particulate ingress

Key specifications

• Filter type: wound (string) sediment cartridge
• Filtration rating: 10 micrometres (nominal)
• Application: cold water sediment removal
• Function: captures rust, sand, silt and suspended solids
• Typical installation: inline housings for point-of-entry or point-of-use

How to use

Install the cartridge in a compatible inline filter housing following the housing manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring cold water supply only unless housing specifies otherwise. Verify correct flow direction if the housing requires orientation. Replace the cartridge at recommended intervals based on visible pressure drop, water quality or the maintenance schedule for downstream equipment. Flush the system after installation until the water runs clear.

Usage recommendations

Monitor pressure differential across the filter and replace the cartridge when flow reduces or when visible fouling occurs. Use as a pre-filter to protect finer media and membranes; do not use for microbiological purification or hot water applications unless explicitly rated for those uses.
