A PPF (Polypropylene) 10 Inch 5 Micron Sediment Water Filter Cartridge is a filter made from layers of polypropylene fibers. It is designed to remove suspended particles from water, such as dirt, rust, sand, and other sediments. The "5 micron" rating refers to its ability to filter particles as small as 5 microns in size.

Use Cases:

1. Sediment Removal: Primarily used to filter out sediments, such as dirt, sand, rust, and other particles, to protect downstream water filtration systems and improve water clarity.
2. Pre-Filtration: Commonly used as a pre-filter in multi-stage filtration systems, such as reverse osmosis units, to extend the life of more delicate filters like carbon or membrane filters.
3. Use in Household and Industrial Applications: It is widely used in household water filtration systems, well water treatment, and industrial applications to ensure cleaner, sediment-free water.

Its role in capturing larger particles helps maintain the efficiency of other filters and improves overall water quality.
