Unlike generic filter cartridges, this 10BB10 model offers reliable filtration that safeguards your water softener and plumbing system from clogging and wear. Designed specifically for sediment filtration, it ensures your water treatment components operate efficiently and last longer.
Key Benefits
- Protects your water treatment system by trapping fine dirt and sediment particles
- Enhances water clarity and quality through precise 10-micron filtration

How It Works
This Nelsen Dirt Cartridge operates by channeling water through its tightly wound spun poly fibers, which act as a physical barrier to dirt, rust, and other suspended particles down to 10 microns in size. As water passes through the filter, sediment is trapped within the cartridge layers, preventing it from entering your water softener or household plumbing.
By removing these contaminants early in the filtration process, the cartridge helps maintain optimal system performance and protects sensitive components from damage caused by sediment buildup.
What to Expect
Immediately after installation, you’ll notice clearer water free from visible dirt and particles. The cartridge’s 10-micron rating efficiently captures fine sediment, improving water quality and taste. Over the first few weeks, your water treatment system will operate more smoothly, with less strain on valves and resin beds.
With proper maintenance, including timely cartridge replacement, this filter will provide consistent protection and extend the lifespan of your water softener and plumbing fixtures.
