Hydronix SGC-45-1005W Whole House Filter Cartridge 5 Micron

Product Description

Hydronix SGC-45-1005W Whole House Sediment Filter Cartridge - 5 Micron

The Hydronix SGC-45-1005W is a premium 5-micron sediment filter designed for high-flow whole house filtration. Featuring a specialized grooved surface area, this cartridge provides significantly more filtration surface than standard smooth filters, resulting in a longer lifespan and higher dirt-holding capacity.

Constructed with rigid plastic end caps and a reinforced core, the SGC-45-1005W is engineered to prevent sediment "unloading." This ensures that even during sudden spikes in water pressure, captured contaminants stay trapped inside the filter rather than bypassing into your home's plumbing.

Key Features

• Grooved Design: Expands total surface area to maximize dirt-holding capacity and extend time between replacements.
• Rigid Construction: Durable plastic end caps maintain structural integrity under varying water pressure.
• High Flow Rate: Supports up to 20 GPM, making it ideal for large homes and light commercial applications.
• Safe Materials: Manufactured from FDA CFR-21 compliant materials for safe potable drinking water.
• Certified Performance: NSF/ANSI Standard 42 certified for material safety and structural integrity.
