About this product

Pentek 5 Micron Replacement Sediment Pre‑Filter

Ensure crystal‑clear water from tap to tank with the Pentek 5 Micron Replacement Sediment Pre‑Filter, engineered to reduce contaminants at the first stage of your filtration system.

This 5-micron sediment filter is compatible with most 10" slim housings including Ametek, Bruner, Cuno, Harmsco, Keystone, Kleen Plus, Plymouth Products, US Filters, Water Resources, and other brands.

Also fits the SWT-230 Water Filter System and the BioMaster RO Water System. (Formerly known as - SO-60005 / 1015).

Key Benefits & Use Cases

  • Protects downstream filters & appliances — captures sediment, rust, silt, sand, and scale before they clog RO membranes or carbon blocks.

  • Ideal as a first‑stage pre‑filter in reverse osmosis (RO), under-sink, point-of-use (POU), and whole-house systems.

  • Longer life, better purity — true gradient‑density spun-bonded polypropylene holds more dirt, resists chemicals, and maintains flow.

  • Taste‑neutral performance — will not impart taste, odor, or color to your water when used within temperature limits.

  • Wide temperature compatibility & NSF validated — meets NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for material integrity.

Best for
  • Point-of-use and point-of-entry water filtration systems that use a 5-micron sediment filter
  • Removing sand, silt, rust, and suspended particles from incoming water
  • Protecting carbon filters, RO membranes, and other downstream components
  • Homes, offices, and commercial water filtration applications
  • Routine maintenance to maintain flow rate and system performance

Installation tips
  • Shut Off Water Supply: Turn off the incoming water to the filtration system.
  • Relieve Pressure: Open a nearby faucet to release pressure before opening the housing.
  • Open Filter Housing: Use a housing wrench if needed to loosen the filter canister.
  • Remove Old Filter: Take out the used sediment filter and dispose of it properly.
  • Install New Filter: Insert the 5-micron sediment filter, ensuring it is centered in the housing.
  • Inspect O-Ring: Check the housing O-ring and lubricate or replace if necessary.
  • Reassemble Housing: Tighten the housing securely by hand (do not overtighten).
  • Restore Water Supply: Turn water back on slowly and check for leaks.
  • Flush the Filter: Run water for several minutes to flush any trapped air or loose particles.

Frequently asked questions

What does a 5 micron sediment pre-filter remove?
It removes larger suspended particles such as sand, dirt, rust, and silt that can affect water clarity and system performance.

What does the 5 micron rating mean?
It means the filter captures particles roughly 5 micrometers and larger—like dust, sediment, sand, rust, and silt—protecting finer-stage filters downstream.

How often should it be replaced?
Under normal residential usage, every six months is recommended to maintain optimal flow and filtration performance.

Will it affect the taste or odor of water?
No—its 100% pure polypropylene design does not impart any taste, odor, or color to filtered water. Taste and odor improvement is handled by carbon or specialty filters installed downstream.

Is this filter compatible with my housing?
It fits most standard housings: 10″ × 2.5″ models, #5 Slim‑Line housings, and many branded systems (Ametek, Culligan, Cuno, AquaPure, etc.).

Can I use this for well water?
Yes—it’s built to handle dirt, sand, and rust from both city and well water sources.
