The PureT HYD-SED-5 is a direct-compatible replacement for Hydrotech, Clack Microline, and Arrowhead Puritap sediment prefilters, delivering 5-micron meltblown filtration for reverse osmosis and whole-house applications. Built to the RS-22-SED5 specification, it traps sediment, dirt, and rust before they reach your downstream filters or membranes.

INSTALLATION & USE
Replacement Procedure
- Shut off inlet water supply and relieve system pressure by opening a downstream faucet or valve.
- Remove the old sediment filter from the 1240, HT101, HT102, HT103, HT123, E, M, or Pro series housing following your system's service instructions.
- Insert the new PureT HYD-SED-5 filter into the housing, ensuring proper seating and alignment with the center port or manifold.
- Reassemble the housing, restore water pressure slowly, and check all seals for leaks.
- Flush the new filter for 3-5 minutes to remove manufacturing residue before resuming normal operation.
COMPATIBILITY
System Fitment
This filter is engineered for Hydrotech 1240 series, E, M, Pro, HT101, HT102, HT103, and HT123 reverse osmosis systems, as well as Clack Microline units requiring the 41400008 or RS-22-SED5 specification. It cross-references with Arrowhead Puritap 41400008, Pentek 255822-43, Sierra Springs 41400008, and US Pure Water Products 41400008. Confirm your system model before ordering to ensure proper fit with proprietary housings.
🔧 Pro Tip: Mark your calendar or set a phone reminder for 6 months out when you install this filter. Sediment filters don't always show visible clogging, but waiting too long can starve your downstream RO membrane and cut its lifespan in half.
