The Dayliff 10″ 5 MIC Spun Sediment Cartridge is a high‑quality pre‑filtration water filter element designed to remove fine particulate matter from water before it reaches further purification stages like carbon filters, reverse osmosis membranes, or UV sterilizers. With a 5 micron (µm) nominal rating, it effectively captures sand, silt, dirt, rust, and other suspended particles that commonly occur in mains, borehole, well, or tank water, helping to improve overall water clarity and protect downstream equipment from clogging and damage.
This cartridge is made from spun‑molded polypropylene fibres, which form a homogeneous depth filtration structure that traps contaminants throughout the media rather than just on the surface. That deep‑filter design gives the cartridge a high dirt‑holding capacity and consistent performance across its service life. Unlike some types of filter media, the polypropylene construction is chemically compatible with a wide range of water supplies and won’t leach unwanted substances into the filtered water.
The 10″ size is a standard cartridge dimension, fitting most common inline filter housings used in residential and light commercial water systems. Users typically install this 5 MIC cartridge as the first stage of filtration, where it acts as a “pre‑filter” that removes larger particles to reduce the load on finer filters, extend their longevity, and maintain system flow performance.
Key attributes of this filter include:
5 micron nominal rating for fine sediment removal.
Melt‑blown polypropylene construction for depth filtration and high dirt‑holding capability.
Standard 10″ length compatible with most 10″ filter housings.
Improves water clarity and protects downstream equipment such as carbon filters, RO membranes, pumps and UV systems.
Suitable for potable water and general water treatment applications when paired with appropriate disinfection downstream.
Overall, the Dayliff 10″ 5 MIC Spun Sediment Cartridge is a reliable and cost‑effective choice for anyone looking to improve water quality at the initial stage of a filtration system, safeguarding later filter elements and helping to ensure cleaner, clearer water for household or commercial uses.
