Ronaqua's 10 Inch Transparent 5 Micron Sediment Whole House Water Filter (RA-124-10S-PP-10BB-5M) is ideal for high-flow and heavy sediment applications. They are usually placed in the main water line entering the house including, but not limited to residential drinking water filtration, food service, and irrigation. This whole house water filter even extends the life of washing machines, water heaters, and other household appliances. The transparent housing body is made of reinforced polypropylene for strength and resistance to chemicals, while the black cap is made of high-flow polypropylene for toughness. For better sealing connections to the corresponding pipes, the black cap has 1-inch inlet/outlet brass ports. There is a rubber O-ring on the top of the housing body to ensure a watertight seal. A pressure relief button on the inlet side of the cap releases pressure in the housing for easy changing of filter cartridges. Additionally, it is easy to connect multiple housings in one custom whole house water filtration system to fit your specific needs. Use it with our sediment water filter cartridge included to remove chlorine, bad tastes, odors, and other particles. This water treatment system treats all of the water entering your home, removing sand, silt, sediment, rust and other particles that can damage your water softener, prematurely 10-inch carbon filters or ruin the plumbing fixtures and valves. It effectively eliminates many impurities from tap water to offer sparkling clean and great tasting water throughout your whole house. Melt-blown Polypropylene Sediment Filter Cartridge This 5 Micron Sediment Water Filter Cartridge included in this whole house filer is often used as a first filter installed in the Reverse Osmosis circuit. Sediment filters are produced from fine melted polypropylene, which is then blown and spun into a sort of cylindrical form. The primary operation of a sediment water filter is to remove large, unwanted fine particles from drinking water, such as sand, dirt, silt, and rust particles. Removal of such particles allows Carbon Block and GAC filters to work normally and performance much better. Lifetime: With our pressure button, it makes it much easier to replace filter cartridges so replace two or three times a year depending on water quality. This filter is wrapped and sealed and meets NSF Standards and Regulations. 10 Inch Transparent Whole House Water Filter with 5 Micron Sediment Cartridge Features Dimensions: 10" x 4.5" Flow Rate: 5 GPM Filter Life: 10,000 Gallons Initial Pressure Drop: 1 PSI Maximum Operating Pressure: 60 PSI Operating Temperature: 39°F~125°F (4°C~52°C) 20 Inch Transparent Whole House Water Filter with 5 Micron Sediment Cartridge Contents 10 Inch Transparent Housing 5 Micron Sediment Water Filter Cartridge 1" Inlet/Outlet Brass Ports Pressure Relief Button Wall Mounting Bracket Housing Wrench Set of Screws
