5 Micron 20 Inch PP Filter (Melt-Blown Sediment) | STARK
5 micron 20 inch pp filter from STARK removes rust, sand and silt before RO membranes or POE systems. Melt-blown polypropylene with gradient-depth structure delivers high dirt-holding capacity and stable flow; fits standard 2.5″ × 20″ housings.
Product Description
When staged with carbon and RO, a 5 micron 20 inch pp filter protects downstream elements and extends service intervals.
It is commonly installed as a pre-filter for reverse osmosis, whole-house systems and industrial process lines to protect downstream carbon filters, softeners and RO membranes. The 5 µm nominal rating is a balanced choice for general sediment control and turbidity reduction; other ratings are available to match feed quality and target protection.
- 100% polypropylene media — no binders, adhesives or additives
- Low fiber release and chemical compatibility across typical pH ranges
- Double open end (DOE) standard; fits most 2.5″ x 20″ housings
- Recommended change-out at ΔP ≈ 0.1 MPa (≈15 psi) or by outlet turbidity
Product Parameter
Technical Parameters
| Construction | 100% melt-blown polypropylene, gradient-depth |
|---|---|
| Size | 2.5″ × 20″ (OD ≈ 63–65 mm; length 508 mm; ID ≈ 28 mm) |
| Micron Rating | 5 µm nominal (1/10/20/50 µm available) |
| Efficiency (nominal) | ~90% at rated micron (typical) |
| Max Operating Temp | ≤ 60 °C (140 °F) |
| Max Operating Pressure | ≤ 0.6 MPa (6 bar) — per housing limits |
| Recommended Change-out | ΔP ≈ 0.1 MPa (15 psi) or quality threshold |
| End Style | DOE (double open end), flat gaskets; 222/226 adaptors optional |
| Core | Self-supported; PP core optional for high ΔP |
| Flow (water) | ~12–16 L/min for 20″ @ ΔP 0.07 MPa (indicative) |
| Chemical Compatibility | PP suitable for pH ~1–13 (verify with specific chemicals) |
| Applications | Sediment removal prior to carbon/RO/softener; point-of-entry & process lines |
| Notes | Values are typical and configurable; final BOM confirmed after your feed analysis. |
Note: Final BOM and micron options are configurable; the 5 micron 20 inch pp filter is our general-purpose rating.
Applicable Industry
- Reverse osmosis pretreatment — membrane protection
- Whole-house POE systems — turbidity and sediment control

FAQ
Q1: How long does the reverse osmosis system last?
The lifespan of a reverse osmosis system depends on water quality and maintenance. Typically, the membrane lasts 2–3 years, while the system itself can last over 10 years with proper care.
Q2: Can the system be customized based on different water conditions?
Yes, all our systems are fully customizable. We analyze your water report and application needs before providing tailored solutions.
Q3: What standards does STARK equipment comply with?
Our products comply with CE, ISO 9001, and can be designed to meet specific regional regulations or industry standards upon request.
Q4: What is the delivery time for STARK RO systems?
Standard systems are shipped within 7–15 days. For customized orders, lead time may extend to 20–25 days depending on complexity.
Q5: Do you provide technical support or installation guidance?
Yes. We provide full technical documentation, remote guidance via video, and can dispatch engineers internationally upon request.
Q6: What is included in your quotation?
Our quotation includes the full RO system, control panel, pumps, pre-treatment units, and all necessary fittings. Installation tools and spare parts can be included upon request.
