It has a larger surface area and has a longer filter life. This water filter cartridge removes more pollutants by providing \"depth\" filtering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGRADED DENSITY DEPTH MEDIA - Melt blown polypropylene is spun loose on the outside and tighter toward the core, so coarse grit is held near the surface and finer particles are retained deeper in the wall. That spreads the load through the full thickness instead of blinding off one face, which holds flow steady longer as the cartridge fills. Change it about every 3 to 6 months, or sooner if pressure drops at the taps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCLEARER WATER FROM EVERY SOURCE - Whether your home runs on municipal tap water or a private well, the cartridge captures the sand, silt, dirt and rust that cloud water and wear out fixtures and appliances. Sediment media works on particles only - for taste and odor add a carbon stage, and for certified contaminant reduction look for cartridges tested to NSF\/ANSI standards for those claims.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFEATURES: Our water filter cartridge particularly offers a larger surface area and a longer life. This cartridge eliminates chlorine, bad taste, and odor, and is available in a variety of sizes. This replacement cartridge will provide you with high filtering performance at a lower cost.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFITS THESE PART NUMBERS - Direct replacement at 5 micron for 38480 and 42-38480, and the same size and grade as P5, AP110, WHKF-GD05, WHCF-GD05, WFPFC5002, SDC-25-1005, PD-5-934 and 155014-43. It is a standard 9.75 by 2.5 in cartridge, so it seats in most 10 in slim line housings. Coarser cartridges such as P25 and AP124 fit the same housing but pass larger particles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMATCH THE FILTER TO YOUR WATER - Cartridges are maintenance parts, not water treatment plans, and no single one handles everything. Carbon reduces chlorine taste and odor. Sediment media captures sand, silt, dirt and rust. For any specific contaminant you are concerned about, look for a system certified to the NSF\/ANSI standard that names it. If you are on a private well, start with a water test.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eCFS MELT BLOWN SEDIMENT CARTRIDGE - 5 MICRON, 10 X 2.5 INCH, 12 PACK\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA direct replacement for 38480, in the standard slim line size that fits most 10 in housings. Twelve cartridges, which on a typical household is three to six years of changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGRADED DENSITY DEPTH MEDIA\u003cbr\u003eThe polypropylene is spun loose on the outside and tighter toward the core. Coarse grit is held near the surface and finer particles are retained deeper in the wall, which spreads the load through the full thickness of the cartridge instead of blinding off one face.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat is what separates a depth filter from a surface one. A surface filter loads on its outer face and pressure drops while most of the media is still clean. A depth filter uses everything, so flow holds steady far longer and you get the full life out of each cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWHAT IT REPLACES\u003cbr\u003e38480 and 42-38480, and the same size and grade as P5, AP110, WHKF-GD05, WHCF-GD05, WFPFC5002, SDC-25-1005, PD-5-934 and 155014-43. If your system takes a standard 10 in cartridge, this drops in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMATCH THE GRADE\u003cbr\u003eSeveral cartridges share this body and differ only in the number. P25 and AP124 are coarser, around 20 to 25 micron - they pass more but hold pressure better on heavy sediment. AP1001 and PX01 are finer at 1 micron and load up sooner. If your water is silty, coarser is often the better choice than finer. Match the number on the cartridge you are pulling out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWHY A TWELVE PACK\u003cbr\u003eSediment is the cartridge you change most often, and the one people run long because they have not got a spare. Buying a few years at once takes that decision out of it. Store them dry and sealed and they keep indefinitely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWHEN TO CHANGE IT\u003cbr\u003eEvery three to six months on typical water, sooner on well water or after work on the line. The sign is pressure dropping at the taps, which on a multi stage system is almost always the sediment cartridge rather than the carbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible replacement cartridge.
