20 inch x 2.5 inch String Wound Sediment Water Filter by Tier1 (5 Micron)

The Tier1 DFS-Hydronix SWC-25-2005 comparable string wound sediment filter has a 5-micron rating, making it effective at capturing fine sediment, dirt, rust, silt, sand, and scale particles from your water supply. This level of filtration is ideal for well water applications or municipal water with visible particulates, ensuring cleaner water for downstream appliances and filtration systems.

The Tier1 SWC-25-2005 string wound sediment filter measures 20 inches in length with a 2.5-inch outer diameter, making it compatible with standard Big Blue-sized housings. It is designed as a direct replacement for the Hydronix SWC-25-2005 and fits most 20" x 2.5" whole-house filter housings that accept string wound cartridges.

The Tier1 DFS-Hydronix SWC-25-2005 comparable filter typically has a service life of approximately 3 months or up to 15,000 gallons, depending on your water quality and daily usage. Homes with heavy sediment loads or well water sources may need to replace the cartridge more frequently. Regular replacement maintains optimal flow rate and prevents pressure drops throughout your plumbing system.

The Tier1 SWC-25-2005 comparable filter is constructed with 100% food-grade polypropylene yarn wound tightly around a rigid polypropylene core. This gradient density design captures larger particles on the outer layers while finer sediment is trapped closer to the core, maximizing dirt-holding capacity and extending filter life compared to standard melt-blown or pleated cartridges.

The Tier1 DFS-Hydronix SWC-25-2005 comparable filter is manufactured using components tested and certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for material safety, ensuring the polypropylene yarn and core meet strict requirements for contact with drinking water. This makes it a safe, reliable choice for pre-filtration in whole-house systems, reverse osmosis setups, and point-of-entry applications.
