Water Filter Cartridge Products We Supply
As a water filter cartridge supplier, we support different cartridge filter solutions for sediment removal, RO pre-filtration, commercial water systems, industrial water treatment, OEM replacement, and bulk supply.
20 Inch Water Filter Cartridge
A 20 inch water filter cartridge is a common replacement size for commercial and industrial water filtration systems. It can be supplied with different media types, micron ratings, end caps, and gasket materials.
Water Filter Cartridge 20 Inch
Water filter cartridge 20 inch options can be customized for standard housings or OEM equipment. Buyers can choose PP melt blown, pleated, string wound, activated carbon, or other media.
PP Water Filter Cartridge
PP water filter cartridges are commonly used for sediment removal and pre-filtration. They help remove suspended particles such as sand, rust, dirt, and other visible impurities.
Pleated Water Filter Cartridge
Pleated water filter cartridges provide larger filtration surface area than depth-style cartridges, helping support higher flow rate and lower pressure drop under suitable conditions.
String Wound Water Filter Cartridge
Designed for depth filtration and sediment holding. Suitable for applications where particles vary in size and the system requires economical pre-filtration.
Activated Carbon Cartridge
Used when the project requires adsorption of chlorine, taste, odor, or selected organic compounds depending on media type and testing requirements.

Common Sourcing Problems for Water Filter Cartridges
The wrong water filter cartridge can cause fast clogging, high pressure drop, poor particle removal, leakage, wrong housing fit, or frequent replacement. Our solutions help buyers match media type, micron rating, size, and end connection with real requirements.
| Pain Point | Business Impact | Our Solution |
|---|---|---|
| The cartridge clogs too quickly | Frequent replacement increases maintenance cost, downtime, and spare parts inventory pressure. | Media type, micron rating, length, and dirt-holding capacity selected according to water quality. |
| Pressure drop becomes too high | Excessive resistance may reduce system flow, affect downstream equipment, or increase pump load. | Pleated media, suitable micron rating, larger length, or multi-cartridge solutions recommended. |
| The cartridge does not fit the housing | Incorrect length, OD, end cap, or gasket may cause leakage, bypass, or installation failure. | Standard 10", 20", 30", 40" and custom cartridges matched based on housing dimensions or samples. |
| The wrong media is used | Using the wrong cartridge type may reduce filtration performance or shorten service life. | PP melt blown, pleated, string wound, activated carbon, PES, PTFE options available. |
| Bulk orders require stable specs | Inconsistent batches may cause installation complaints, inventory confusion, and returns. | We support model list management, repeat production, OEM labels, and bulk supply. |

What Is a Water Filter Cartridge?
Core Function & Application
A water filter cartridge is a replaceable filtration element used inside a filter housing to remove suspended particles, sediment, rust, dirt, chlorine, odor, or selected contaminants from water, depending on the cartridge media and filtration design. It is commonly used as a pre-filter or process filter in commercial, industrial, and water treatment systems.
Media Types & Dimensions
Water filter cartridges can be made with different media, including PP melt blown, pleated polypropylene, string wound, activated carbon, PES, PTFE, or other specialized materials. Common cartridge lengths include 10 inch, 20 inch, 30 inch, and 40 inch, with 20 inch water filter cartridges widely used in many commercial and industrial systems.
Industrial Selection Criteria
For industrial buyers, choosing a water filter cartridge is not only about size. The cartridge must match the micron rating, media type, flow rate, pressure drop limit, water quality, housing connection, end cap, gasket material, replacement schedule, and order type.
How to Choose the Right Water Filter Cartridge
Before placing an order, confirm these details to determine whether a standard 20 inch water filter cartridge or a custom solution is more suitable for your system.
| Selection Factor | What Buyers Need to Check | Recommended Choice / What We Support |
|---|---|---|
| Cartridge Length | Confirm whether the system uses 10", 20", 30", 40", or a custom length. | 20 inch water filter cartridge and other standard/custom lengths supplied. |
| Micron Rating | Check whether the system needs coarse filtration, fine filtration, or pre-filtration. | 0.1 μm to 50 μm and customized ratings discussed depending on application. |
| Media Type | Identify if project needs PP melt blown, pleated, string wound, carbon, PES, PTFE. | Media selected according to water quality, flow, and filtration target. |
| End Cap & Gasket | Check DOE, SOE, 222, 226, fin, flat cap. Confirm temp & chemical compatibility. | Standard/custom end caps. Silicone, EPDM, NBR, FKM, PTFE gaskets available. |
| Flow & Pressure Drop | Check system flow rate and whether sufficient flow remains after installation. | Size, media area, and micron rating selected to match flow and control pressure. |
| Application & Order Type | Identify RO pre-filtration, process water. Clarify OEM, replacement, or bulk stock. | Send size, micron rating, media, end cap, and quantity for a suitable quotation. |
If you are not sure which cartridge type fits your system, send us your cartridge size, housing type, micron rating, water quality, flow rate, and application. Our team can help review the specification.
PP Melt Blown vs. Pleated Water Filter Cartridge
Both are widely used, but they are often selected for different filtration goals, flow requirements, dirt-holding needs, and replacement strategies.
| Comparison Factor | PP Melt Blown Cartridge | Pleated Water Filter Cartridge |
|---|---|---|
| Structure | Depth filter structure made from melt blown polypropylene fibers | Pleated media structure with larger surface area |
| Main Function | Sediment removal and general pre-filtration | Fine filtration, higher flow support, and larger filtration area |
| Flow Rate & Pressure | Suitable for many standard pre-filtration applications | Often selected when higher flow or lower pressure drop is important |
| Cost Consideration | Usually economical for general sediment filtration | Usually higher cost but may support longer service life depending on application |
| Recommended Use | Choose when economical sediment removal is the main goal | Choose when higher flow, lower pressure drop, or larger area is required |
