Locofiltr 5-Micron 10x4.5in Whole House Sediment Filter Cartridge – Pack of 3, CW5-BBS Compatible

Locofiltr 5-Micron 10x4.5in Whole House Sediment Filter Cartridge

Locofiltr delivers a compact, robust solution for protecting your home’s water lines. The 5-micron sediment cartridge uses a string wound design to create a deep, graded honeycomb filtration path. Large particles are caught near the outer edge while finer particulates are retained toward the core, providing a higher dirt-holding capacity and helping maintain steady flow as debris accumulates.

Manufactured from durable polypropylene around a rigid core, this cartridge offers a broad filtration surface and dependable performance. Its 10 inch length and 4.5 inch diameter fit most standard whole-house housings, making installation straightforward and replacement simple for DIY projects or professional service calls.

What the design means in daily use

The deep wound filtration path helps minimize the risk of channeling and supports more uniform filtration over time. You may notice less gritty feel and reduced visible sediment in sinks, showers, and ice dispensers as water quality remains more consistent between changes.

• 5 micron filtration targets sediment, rust, scale, dirt, coarse sand, and silt from city or well water
• Depth filtration enhances dirt-holding capacity for longer filter life
• High surface-area polypropylene media supports steady flow and reliable performance
• Rigid core provides structural integrity for rugged filtration environments

Fit, compatibility, and maintenance

This cartridge replaces any 10x4.5 inch sediment filter and works with most heavy-duty housings. It is compatible with a wide range of brands and models, including Culligan CW5-BBS, CW25-BBS, Pentek WP5BB97P, WP10BB97P, Pelican PC40/PC10/PC20, Omnifilter RS22, Watts SF5-10-425, and more.

Lifespan and care you can plan around

Under typical conditions, expect the filter to last about 4–6 months or 30,000–40,000 gallons, depending on water quality and usage. Replace it sooner if you notice reduced water pressure or quality. Regular replacement helps keep your system performing as designed while reducing sediment buildup in plumbing fixtures.
