20Micron, 6.0Inch Nominal Filter Cartridge Key benefits Removes sediment and visible particulates: 20micron nominal rating reduces most particles 20 microns and larger, improving water clarity and protecting downstream equipment. Compact, easytoinstall size: 6.0inch nominal length fits systems and housings designed for 6inch cartridges, making replacement straightforward. Protects equipment and extends service life: reduces wear and clogging of pumps, valves, and finer downstream filters or treatment stages. What this product does Mechanically filters water by trapping particulates at a nominal 20micron level. Serves as a reliable sediment or prefilter stage to reduce solids load before finer filtration or sensitive components. Important attributes Micron rating: 20micron (nominal) — effective for reducing most visible sediment and coarse silt. Nominal length: 6.0 inches — designed for housings and systems that accept 6.0inch nominal cartridges. Function: sediment/particulate removal and equipment protection. Compatibility: intended for application in systems engineered for 6.0inch nominal filter cartridges (check your equipment specifications for fit). Performance notes Nominal rating indicates typical performance for reducing the majority of particles at the stated size; actual performance depends on water quality, flow rate, and operating conditions. Use as a prefilter or primary sediment stage depending on system requirements. Typical applications Pointofentry or pointofuse water systems to remove sand, silt, and rust particles before downstream treatment. Irrigation and pump systems to protect valves and nozzles from clogging. Prefiltration ahead of finer filters, reverse osmosis units, or UV systems to reduce solids load and improve overall system performance. Installation and replacement tips Designed for dropin replacement in systems that specify a 6.0inch nominal cartridge; confirm housing compatibility before . according to pressure drop, water quality, or manufacturerrecommended intervals for your system to maintain performance.
