High-Performance Sediment Filter Cartridge for Cleaner, Clearer Water

Designed to effectively remove sediment and particulate matter from your water supply, the R50 Pentek Sediment Cartridge offers a reliable solution for maintaining optimal water quality. This 9-3/4 inch, 50-micron filter cartridge is engineered for efficient sediment filtration, helping protect your water treatment system components and improve overall water clarity.

Key Benefits

• Protects your water system from sediment buildup, extending the lifespan of downstream equipment
• Enhances water clarity by efficiently filtering particles as small as 50 microns
• Easy to install replacement cartridge compatible with standard 9-3/4 inch filter housings
• Reduces maintenance needs by capturing dirt, sand, rust, and other sediment effectively
• Durable construction ensures consistent filtration performance over the cartridge’s service life

How It Works

The R50 Pentek Sediment Cartridge operates by trapping suspended solids and sediment as water passes through its tightly wound filter media. The 50-micron rating means it captures particles large enough to cause cloudiness or damage to your system without overly restricting water flow. Installed within a compatible filter housing, this cartridge acts as a first line of defense, preventing sediment from reaching sensitive components like water softeners, reverse osmosis membranes, and plumbing fixtures.

By removing these particulates early, the filter cartridge helps maintain system efficiency and water quality, ensuring cleaner water for your household or business.

What to Expect

Immediately after installation, you’ll notice a reduction in visible sediment and improved water clarity. In the first days and weeks, the cartridge will continue to capture particles effectively without significantly impacting water pressure. Over time, as sediment accumulates, the cartridge will gradually become saturated, signaling the need for replacement to maintain optimal filtration performance.

Regular replacement of this sediment cartridge ensures long-term protection for your water treatment system and consistent water quality with minimal effort.

What’s Inside

• Polypropylene Filter Media – provides high dirt-holding capacity and efficient sediment capture
• 9-3/4 Inch Standard Size – ensures compatibility with most common sediment filter housings
• 50 Micron Rating – balances effective filtration and flow rate for everyday use
• Durable Core – maintains cartridge shape and prevents collapse under typical water pressures

How to Use

1. Turn off the water supply to your filter housing before beginning replacement.
2. Release pressure by opening a nearby faucet or using the housing’s pressure release button.
3. Unscrew the filter housing carefully and remove the used sediment cartridge.
