Product Description

PL5-20 5 Micron 20" Pleated Polyester Sediment Filter

The PL5-20 is a robust, 20-inch pleated sediment filter engineered to provide high-efficiency particulate removal for demanding water systems. With a 5-micron rating and 90% efficiency, this cartridge is the ideal choice for intercepting medium-to-fine sediment, such as sand, silt, and rust, before it reaches your interior plumbing or sensitive purification stages. The extended 20-inch length provides twice the surface area of standard 10-inch filters, resulting in superior sediment-holding capacity, longer service intervals, and consistent water pressure. Built for reliability, the PL5-20 features a heavy-duty polypropylene core and vinyl plastisol end-caps for a secure, bypass-free seal in residential and commercial applications.

Why Choose the PL5-20 Filter?

  • Extended Maintenance Cycles: The 20-inch length provides double the filtration surface area, significantly reducing the frequency of filter changes.

  • Optimal 5-Micron Filtration: Strikes the perfect balance between high-efficiency sediment capture and maintaining unrestricted water flow.

  • High-Flow Performance: Supports flow rates up to 50 lpm, making it suitable for high-demand whole-house water systems.

  • Universal Compatibility: Designed to fit all industry-standard 20-inch slimline filter housings.

A 5-micron rating is widely considered the industry standard for general sediment removal. It is fine enough to capture the majority of visible particles (sand, grit, rust) that cause issues in home plumbing, but coarse enough to prevent premature clogging, making it a reliable, low-maintenance choice.

Under normal conditions, we recommend replacing the PL5-20 every 6 to 12 months. However, if you have high sediment levels or notice a decrease in water pressure, it is a sign that the filter has reached capacity and should be replaced sooner to maintain system efficiency.
