Locofiltr SGC1005 5-Micron Grooved Sediment Filter – 10x2.5 Whole House, Pack of 6

Overview

The Locofiltr SGC1005 is a universal 10x2.5 inch cartridge designed for whole house sediment filtration and as a prefilter for RO systems. Crafted with grooved melt-blown polypropylene, it targets sand, dirt, rust, and other particulate down to 5 microns, helping water look clearer at taps and preventing buildup in pipes.

Why it matters

Filtration at the point of entry helps reduce visible sediment and protects plumbing fixtures and appliances from clogging and wear. A 5 micron rating captures finer particles while maintaining a steady flow. The grooved design increases surface area, which can translate to higher dirt-holding capacity and longer service life before replacements are needed.

Key benefits at a glance

• 5 micron filtration for finer sediment capture
• Grooved media delivers more dirt-holding capacity
• Low pressure drop supports steady flow
• High chemical resistance for diverse water conditions
• Broad compatibility with standard 10x2.5 housings
• Individually wrapped cartridges protect quality in transit

Real-world uses

Install this cartridge in a whole-house filtration setup to improve water clarity for cooking, bathing, and cleaning. It also acts as a prefilter for RO systems, potentially helping protect membranes from sediment and extending their life. If you notice tapped water with slight sediment after a system change, this filter may help reduce that disruption.

Fit and compatibility

Designed for standard 10x2.5 filter housings and widely compatible with common models. The cartridge is part of a pack of six, offering convenient replacement options for households or small-scale setups.

What you get
