T-0797-50-B 10" x 2.5" Pleated Polyester Sediment Filter
50 micron pleated polyester cartridge with 4 square feet of filtration surface. Cleanable, reusable, and built for extended service life in standard 10-inch housings.
Pleated Design Outperforms Conventional Sediment Cartridges
Pleated Construction
4 square feet of 100% synthetic polyester media in a 10" x 2.5" cartridge. Greater surface area means lower pressure drop and longer service intervals than wound or spun alternatives.
50 Micron Particle Retention
Captures sediment, rust, sand, and silt down to 50 microns. Effective first-stage filtration that protects downstream carbon blocks, membranes, and appliances from premature clogging.
Cleanable & Reusable
Synthetic polyester media can be rinsed and reused multiple times. No cellulose, no binders, no additives that degrade or cause foaming. Bacteria resistant and chemical stable.
Cyst Reduction
Pleated structure is ideal for reducing Cryptosporidium and Giardia cysts up to 99.9%. Reliable protection for whole-house and point-of-entry applications where biological contamination is a concern.

Replacement and Cleaning Schedule
Inspect and Clean
Remove cartridge and rinse under running water to dislodge accumulated sediment. Can be cleaned multiple times before replacement is required, depending on sediment load.
Replace Cartridge
Replace when cleaning no longer restores flow rate or when visible media degradation occurs. Service life depends on water quality and usage volume.
Extended Filter Life
Pleated design and cleanable media reduce replacement frequency and total cost of ownership
Low Pressure Drop
4 square feet of surface area maintains flow rate even as sediment accumulates
Universal Fit
Drops into any standard 10" x 2.5" housing without adapters or modifications
Chemical-Free Media
No binders, adhesives, or additives that leach into filtered water or cause foaming issues
