{"product_id":"discontinued","title":"DISCONTINUED","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Pentek dirt cartridge is a 9-3\/4-inch spun polypropylene sediment filter rated at 30 microns, designed to capture sand, silt, rust, scale flakes, and other suspended particles before they reach finer treatment stages or household fixtures. Spun-poly construction creates a graded-density media that traps larger debris on the outer surface and progressively finer particles deeper toward the core, which maximizes dirt-holding capacity and extends the time between changeouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow Spun-Poly Sediment Filtration Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs water flows from the outside of the cartridge inward, it passes through increasingly tight layers of melt-blown polypropylene fibers. Coarse particles are caught early, while fine particles are stopped deeper in the bed, distributing the load across the whole cartridge. The 30-micron rating makes this an ideal first-stage pre-filter, shielding carbon blocks, RO membranes, pumps, and water softeners from abrasive sediment that would otherwise shorten their service life. At 2.25 inches in diameter and 9.75 inches long, it fits the standard slim-line filter housings used throughout residential water treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard 9-3\/4-inch length fits common slim-line housings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30-micron spun polypropylene for coarse sediment capture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGraded-density media boosts dirt-holding capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtects downstream RO, carbon, and pump components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.25-inch diameter, lightweight at about 0.41 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolypropylene media suits a wide range of water chemistries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease note this particular Pentek item has been discontinued; however, comparable spun-poly sediment cartridges in the same dimensions and micron rating remain widely available as direct replacements, so systems built around this size are easy to keep running. Regular cartridge changes are the simplest way to maintain strong flow and prevent premature fouling of the more expensive filtration components downstream. A clean sediment pre-filter is the unsung hero of a well-running water treatment system, and a coarse 30-micron stage like this one is a cost-effective first line of defense. Because the metered valve only regenerates when needed, the system keeps salt and water use lean while delivering steady soft water to a smaller household. For homeowners who want soft water without sacrificing floor space, this compact Nelsen cabinet unit is an ideal, efficient solution. Arriving with the mineral tank, bypass valve, turbulator, and resin, it is essentially ready to plumb once you select connections to match your home, making it a practical, complete softening package for compact spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45668792467509,"sku":"CW-MF","price":11.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/4950\/2261\/files\/cw-mf.jpg?v=1782533279","url":"https:\/\/watersoftenerplus.com\/sv-eu\/products\/discontinued","provider":"Water Softener Plus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
