Aquafilter 5-Pack – 5 µm (micron) String-Wound Polypropylene Sediment Filters (10″ × 2.5″) – 100% EU Made – Heavy-Duty Filtration

This listing includes 5 genuine Aquafilter FCPP5 string-wound sediment cartridges, each with a 5 µm nominal rating and the industry-standard 10″ × 2.5″ size. Ideal for reverse osmosis (RO) pre-filtration, under-sink systems, well & borehole water, and aquarium applications.

100% manufactured in the European Union — premium material quality and strict production control. These cartridges use high-quality, chemically resistant polypropylene cord wound around a rigid core to deliver excellent dirt-holding capacity and long life.

Why String-Wound Filters (FCPP5) Are Superior

• Gradient density (multi-layer) filtration — outer layers capture coarse particles, inner layers capture finer sediment
• Very high dirt-holding capacity — ideal for wells, boreholes, old pipes and turbid water
• Strong mechanical stability — low compression under pressure and resistance to clogging
• Chemical-resistant polypropylene cord — no binders or additives
• Excellent pre-filter for RO membranes and carbon blocks — prolongs membrane life
• Suitable for drinking water and aquarium use
• Maximum operating temperature: 42°C
• 100% EU-made — consistent quality and traceability

What These Filters Remove

• Coarse and fine sand
• Silt
• Rust flakes
• Scale particles
• Suspended solids and turbidity
• High sediment loads common in well/borehole water
