🚰 Optimized Filtration with American Plumber Sediment Filter Cartridge Review

Works better than more expensive 20 micron pleated paper filters, while 5 micron filters trap much finer contaminants than pleated ones.

We have been using this type for 4 years. It does not collapse like pleated filters. Removes scale from household fixtures and any water entering the heating system. This is a requirement when using water from an artesian well.

Our house is on a well system and we get quite a bit of sediment so these filters are very useful for water purification. Would have given it 5 stars if they had lasted longer but found they need to be replaced every 45-60! days.

The product works the same as the American Plumber W5P Whole House Water Filter Cartridge that came with my filter housing at a fraction of the cost. I change this 5 micron filter every 3 months. It has been found to fit better than OEM filters which sometimes have filters that vary slightly in length causing sealing issues during installation. I didn't have this problem with the alternative.

Ordered two packs of two and did not receive American Plumber W5P Filters as advertised. I received counterfeit filters with an American Plumber part number printed on them. The filters were 10" long while the OEM filters were 9 7/8" long. I tried one and it fit snugly in the case and since it was plastic I didn't want to risk cracking it so I took it off and bought a filter to fit my case. In short, this company advertised that they were selling American plumbing filters, but they weren't.
