5 Microns Sediment Filter 20 inches BB
The AMPAC USA 5 Micron Sediment Filter is a 20-inch Big Blue cartridge built to capture particles as small as 5 microns, reducing dirt, rust, sand, silt, and other suspended solids for cleaner, clearer water. Its generous Big Blue dimensions support higher flow rates and extend the time between replacements compared to smaller cartridges.
- Captures particles down to 5 microns
- Reduces dirt, rust, sand, silt, and suspended solids
- 20-inch Big Blue format for high flow and extended service life
- Melt-blown polypropylene media with no wetting agents, solvents, antistatic agents, or binders
- Reduces cloudiness and discoloration for better-looking water
This filter is suited to whole-house water treatment as well as critical pre-filtration ahead of commercial reverse osmosis systems, where keeping sediment away from delicate membranes reduces fouling and cuts down on maintenance and membrane replacement costs. Removing this sediment also protects plumbing fixtures, appliances, and downstream filter stages from abrasive wear and clogging.
It's a practical choice for homes on well water or municipal supplies with noticeable sediment content, and it performs equally well in commercial, agricultural, industrial, and laboratory settings that depend on consistently clean water. The standard Big Blue format means it drops into a wide range of existing filter housings without modification.
Manufactured with precision and consistent quality control, the melt-blown polypropylene media holds its structural integrity under varying water pressures, resisting media migration and maintaining filtration efficiency for the life of the cartridge.
