10" x 2.5" Grooved Melt Blown Sediment Filter
Economical grooved sediment cartridge engineered for extended service life in RO pre-filtration and whole-house applications
Grooved Design Maximizes Surface Area
Grooved Surface
Radial grooves increase filtration area by 30-40% compared to smooth cartridges, extending service intervals and dirt-holding capacity
Dual Micron Options
Available in 1 and 5 micron ratings for flexible pre-filtration in RO systems or post-filtration after granular carbon stages
Melt Blown Construction
Thermally bonded polypropylene fibers create a true depth filter with graduated density for effective sediment capture throughout the media
Pure Polypropylene
100% polypropylene media and construction ensures no chemical extractables, taste, or odor contribution to filtered water
Standard 10" x 2.5" Housings
The Hydronix SGC series fits all standard 10-inch filter housings with 2.5-inch outer diameter capacity. Common applications include pre-filtration for reverse osmosis systems, whole-house sediment filtration, well water treatment, and post-filtration after GAC or catalytic carbon stages. The grooved design is particularly effective in high-sediment environments where maximizing dirt capacity extends time between filter changes.
Replacement Schedule
Municipal Water
Replace every 3-6 months in typical city water pre-filtration for RO systems or when pressure drop increases noticeably
Well Water
Check monthly and replace every 1-3 months depending on sediment load, turbidity levels, and seasonal variations
High-Sediment Applications
Monitor pressure differential across housing and replace when flow rate decreases or differential exceeds 10-15 PSI
Protects Downstream Components
Removes sediment before it reaches expensive RO membranes, carbon blocks, or plumbing fixtures
Extended Service Life
Grooved surface area holds more sediment than smooth cartridges, reducing replacement frequency and labor costs
Economical Filtration
Reliable performance at a competitive price point for residential and light commercial applications
Simple Maintenance
Drop-in replacement cartridge design makes filter changes quick with no special tools required
