The AMPAC USA S10-5 Sediment Filter is a standard 2.5-inch diameter by 10-inch melt-blown polypropylene filter cartridge rated at 5 microns, designed to capture and remove sediment such as sand, silt, rust, and scale from your water supply. As a first line of defense, it protects downstream components like carbon blocks and reverse osmosis membranes, helping them operate efficiently and last longer.

  • 2.5" x 10" melt-blown polypropylene cartridge
  • 5-micron nominal rating
  • Removes sand, silt, rust, and scale
  • Fits all standard 10-inch filter housings
  • Recommended pre-filtration stage for AMPAC USA's 3-, 4-, and 5-stage residential RO systems

The S10-5 fits a wide range of residential and light commercial applications, with standard dimensions that are universally compatible with all standard 10-inch filter housings. It's the recommended pre-filtration stage for AMPAC USA's 3-stage, 4-stage, and 5-stage residential reverse osmosis systems, removing larger particulates so those systems can focus on finer contaminants.

The filter media is melt-blown polypropylene, free from wetting agents, solvents, antistatic agents, or binders, so no unwanted chemicals leach into your water. The consistent 5-micron nominal rating removes a broad spectrum of sediment for clearer, cleaner water.

Straightforward installation and replacement make the S10-5 easy to maintain, and consistent sediment removal helps extend the life of plumbing fixtures, water heaters, and other appliances downstream.
