Crafted from spun polypropylene, it resists chemicals and bacteria while maintaining a minimal pressure drop of 0.2 psi at 5 gpm flow rate. Certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 42, it operates reliably across a broad temperature range (40–145°F), making it ideal for residential, commercial, and municipal water systems seeking superior water clarity and safety. ## Description This Pentek P5 spun polypropylene filter cartridge reduces sand, silt, scale, and rust particles in residential, commercial, and municipal drinking water. It has a nominal filtration rating of 5 microns at an efficiency of 85%. The filter is made of spun polypropylene fibers for resistance to chemicals and bacteria. It has an initial pressure drop of 0.2 pound per square inch (psi) at a flow rate of 5 gallons per minute (gpm), and operates over a temperature range of 40 to 145 degrees F (4.4 to 62.8 degrees C). This spun polypropylene filter cartridge meets National Sanitation Foundation/American National Standards Institute (NSF/ANSI) standard 42 for quality assurance, and is used for treatment of residential, commercial, and municipal drinking water.

H is height, the vertical distance from lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back. Water filters remove undesirable particles, chemicals, and microorganisms from water by means of a semipermeable barrier, adsorption, or biological processes. They are made of densely packed synthetic or natural fibers that trap suspended particles, materials that block microbes or adsorb unwanted chemicals, or substances that cause a chemical change, such as acid neutralization. For most residential, commercial, and industrial applications, water filters are manufactured in the form of replaceable cartridges that fit inside permanent housings. Filtration systems typically consist of a series of two or more types of filters, each designed to remove different contaminants. The performance of filters is measured by the minimum particle size that is blocked, the percentage of particles or microorganisms that are removed, the downstream concentration of unwanted chemicals, the maximum flow rate, and the amount of water that can be filtered before the filter must be replaced. Water filters are used in a wide range of applications, including drinking water purification, swimming pools, industrial processes, and irrigation, among others. Pentair manufactures industrial, commercial, and residential water filtration components and systems. The company, founded in 1966 and headquartered in Minneapolis, MN, meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards 9001 and 14001 for quality assurance. ## Features - Reduces sand, silt, scale, and rust particles in residential, commercial, and municipal drinking water - Nominal filtration rating of 5 microns - Spun polypropylene for resistance to chemicals and bacteria - Initial pressure drop of 0.2 psi at a flow rate of 5 gpm - Temperature range of 40 to 145 degrees F (4.4 to 62.8 degrees C). ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B000QECW24 | | Best Sellers Rank | #53,216 in Kitchen (See Top 100 in Kitchen) #193 in Water Filter Cartridges | | Brand Name | Pentek | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (454) 4.6 out of 5 stars | | External Testing Certification | ANSI, NSF | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00051678014431 | | Importer Contact Information | ATM RETAIL 1st Floor Beside P and T Building Lakdi Ka Pul Hyderabad Telangana 500004 | | Item Dimensions D X W X H | 7.6D x 25.4W x 7.6H centimeters | | Item Weight | 3.98 Ounces | | Manufacture Year | 2022 | | Manufacturer | Calumet/Ametek | | Manufacturer Part Number | 155014-43 | | Material Type | Polypropylene (PP) | | Model Number | P5 | | Number Of Items | 1 | | Product Benefits | Removes impurities and contaminants | | Set Name | 1 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Upc | 051678014431 | ## Product Details - **External testing certification:** ANSI, NSF - **Item weight:** 3.98 Ounces - **Material:** Polypropylene (PP) - **Product benefits:** Removes impurities and contaminants - **Product dimensions:** 7.6D x 25.4W x 7.6H centimeters ## Images ![5-Micron Sediment Cartridges (Model P5) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/610BijNwGUL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: how often do you replace** A: Replace when water pressure (in the shower for example) seems low. How long the filter lasts depends on how much sediment is in the water, and how much water gets used. For me, with a well and the filter on the whole house it lasts about 6 months to a year. **Q: excuese me P5 9-3/4" x 2-3/8" 5 Micron made in which country** A: I think either taiwan or china **Q: what units do these work with?** A: I do not know the unit size. I have a small water filter and it works very well. **Q: Did these filters used to be white?** A: Yes, these filters are white. It looks like someone added the wrong picture to this listing - it's showing the C2 carbon filter. The part # 155014-43 P5 is for a 5 Micron sediment filter, which is white. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ottimo prodotto. *by on Reviewed in Italy 23 September 2025* Ottimo filtro, peccato che al momento non è disponibile. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bom produto. *by on Reviewed in Spain 25 February 2026* Bom produto. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Water Tastes Great! *by on Reviewed in the United States 21 May 2025* I am new to a filtration system and had no idea how often to replace my filters. I needed two charcoal and one pre-filter and cannot believe how great the water tastes now. Perfect fit! Great water flow and quality! Not sure how often I will need to replace the filters given we generally only use it for drinking.I would recommend these filters! ## Frequently Bought Together - Pentair Pentek P5 Sediment Water Filter, 10-Inch, Under Sink Spun-Bonded Polypropylene Replacement Cartridge, 10" x 2.5", 5 Micron - Pentair Pentek EPM-10 Carbon Water Filter, 10-Inch, Under Sink Modified Epsilon Carbon Block Replacement Cartridge with Bonded Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) Filter, 10" x 2.5", 10 Micron - Pentair Pentek EP-10 Carbon Water Filter, 10-Inch, Under Sink Carbon Block Replacement Cartridge with Bonded Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) Filter, 10" x 2.5", 5 Micron --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/301677431-5-micron-sediment-cartridges-model-p5](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/301677431-5-micron-sediment-cartridges-model-p5) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-09-24*
