Eco 10-Inch Big Blue Meltblown Sediment Filter Cartridge – 5 Micron

The H2O Warehouse Eco 10-inch Big Blue 5 micron meltblown polypropylene cartridge is a depth sediment filter for standard 10-inch Big Blue housings. It reduces suspended particles such as sand, silt, rust flakes and other visible debris, helping to protect downstream filtration and water-treatment equipment. This 5 micron model is best suited to: general-purpose domestic and commercial sediment filtration where fine sand, silt and rust particles need to be reduced. Key Features Meltblown polypropylene depth-filtration media Reduces suspended sediment without adding taste or odour to the water Helps protect carbon filters, softeners, reverse-osmosis systems, pumps and UV systems from particulate loading Disposable cartridge design for straightforward maintenance Quantity: 1 cartridge Eco Range and Compatibility Cost-effective polypropylene sediment cartridge for routine replacement Equivalent standard housing format to the corresponding Darlly cartridge size Fits compatible housings that accept the same nominal length and outside diameter This is an Eco-range cartridge and is not sold as a Darlly-branded product Specifications SKU: H2OW1506 Range: Eco Cartridge format: Big Blue Nominal size: 10-inch (approximately 248–254 mm, depending on the housing standard) Approximate outside diameter: 115 mm Micron rating: 5 micron Filter media: Meltblown polypropylene Compatible housing: standard 10-inch Big Blue Understanding Micron Ratings A smaller micron number provides finer particle filtration but may block sooner where sediment levels are high 0.5–1 micron: fine sediment polishing, normally after coarser prefiltration 5 micron: a popular general-purpose choice for domestic sediment filtration 10–20 micron: medium prefiltration that balances particle removal and flow 50–100 micron: coarse prefiltration for larger suspended particles and heavier sediment loads Micron rating describes particle filtration; it does not indicate removal of dissolved substances Common Uses Domestic point-of-use and whole-house sediment filtration Borehole, wellpoint and rainwater prefiltration where suspended sediment is present Prefiltration before carbon, softening, reverse osmosis or ultraviolet treatment Reducing visible sand, silt, rust flakes and particulate matter Installation and Replacement Confirm the housing length and diameter before ordering; Slimline and Big Blue cartridges are not interchangeable Shut off the water supply and depressurise the housing before opening it Replace the cartridge when flow reduces, differential pressure rises or sediment begins to pass through Replacement frequency depends on water quality, water consumption and the sediment load Important Information This cartridge filters suspended particles only It does not remove dissolved salts or TDS, and it does not disinfect microbiologically unsafe water Use appropriate additional treatment where chemical or microbiological contamination is present
