20 Micron Pleated Coarse Sediment Filter – 10" Big

$91.30

The 20 Micron Pleated Coarse Sediment Filter – 10" Big is a pleated sediment filter cartridge designed for standard 10" Big Blue filter housings. It provides mechanical filtration to remove coarse suspended particles from water while maintaining high flow rates. Ideal as a primary pre-filtration stage, it helps protect downstream filters, plumbing, pumps, and appliances, extending the life of the entire filtration system.
