Water string wound filter 20µ wessper WES6007

Water string wound filter 20µ wessper WES6007 is a string-wound sediment cartridge with nominal 20 micron filtration designed for residential and light-commercial water treatment. The cartridge fits standard 10" housings and captures sand, rust, silt and other particulate matter to improve water clarity and protect taps, appliances and downstream filter stages. The filter is intended primarily as a prefilter to extend the life of finer cartridges and equipment by removing coarse solids from the water supply.

Advantages

The string-wound construction provides progressive density from outer to inner layers, enabling effective retention of larger particles at the outside and finer particles toward the core while maintaining flow. The 20 µ nominal rating balances sediment removal with flow performance for common household water pressures. Compatibility with standard 10" filter housings allows straightforward replacement and system integration. Constructed for typical domestic water conditions, the cartridge reduces visible turbidity and limits abrasive particles that can damage valves and appliances.

Suitable for

• Prefiltration in whole-house or point-of-use systems
• Protection of water-using appliances (washing machines, dishwashers, boilers)
• Removal of sand, rust, silt and coarse particulates
• Use in municipal and well water supplies where sediment is present

Key specifications

• Filtration type: string-wound sediment cartridge
• Nominal filtration rating: 20 microns
• Compatibility: standard 10" filter housings
• Primary function: sediment and particulate removal (sand, rust, silt)
• Typical applications: residential and light-commercial prefiltration

How to use

Install the cartridge into a compatible 10" filter housing according to the housing manufacturer's instructions, ensuring correct orientation and proper sealing. Flush the system after installation to remove trapped air and initial loose fibers. Replace the cartridge when a noticeable pressure drop occurs, when flow rate decreases significantly, or according to water quality and usage patterns. Dispose of used cartridges following local regulations for household waste or recycling if applicable.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this 20 µ string-wound filter as the first stage in a multi-stage filtration setup or ahead of finer cartridges. Monitor pressure differential across the housing and replace the cartridge proactively when sediment load increases to prevent strain on downstream equipment.
