The IPW Industries HB-10-50W represents premium water filtration technology with industry-leading 12 sq ft of pleated Polyester-Plus media surface area. This 10 x 4.5 water filter cartridge delivers exceptional 50 micron sediment filter performance for whole house water filter systems, removing sand, silt, rust, and debris with flow rates up to 30 GPM maximum (12 GPM recommended). Unlike standard disposable water filter cartridge replacement options, this cleanable and reusable filter dramatically reduces long-term operating costs through simple rinsing or backwashing. The thermally bonded Plastisol end caps ensure superior sealing in big blue filter housing applications, while the engineered media maintains lower pressure drops for extended filter runs and reduced energy consumption. Rated for temperatures up to 140F standard (200F high-temp available), this versatile whole house sediment filter excels in potable water, well water filter systems, swimming pools, spas, and light industrial applications. The distinctive Calypso Blue color coding enables easy 50 micron identification during maintenance, while the robust construction protects downstream equipment including water softeners and RO systems from costly sediment damage.
