PP Sediment Cartridge – 20 Inch Jumbo, 5 Micron | UV Water Systems Oman

The 20-inch jumbo PP sediment cartridge is the commercial and whole-house equivalent of the standard 10-inch under-sink cartridge — same polypropylene melt-blown depth filtration technology, double the length, and substantially higher dirt-holding capacity. Where a 10-inch cartridge serves a single RO system treating 100–200 litres per day, the 20-inch jumbo cartridge is designed for high-flow applications: whole-house pre-filtration systems protecting softeners and UV sterilizers, commercial RO pre-treatment for restaurants and hotels treating 500–2,000 litres per day, and industrial multi-cartridge housings handling higher flow rates for factories, hospitals, and large buildings across Oman. UV Water Systems in Muscat supplies 20-inch jumbo PP sediment cartridges in 4.5-inch OD format (the standard jumbo housing size) with 5-micron filtration rating, stocked for immediate supply to commercial and industrial customers.

20-Inch Jumbo vs. 10-Inch Slim Cartridges

The doubling of cartridge length from 10 to 20 inches delivers more than twice the filtration capacity for several reasons: the total filtration area doubles (directly proportional to length), the dirt-holding volume doubles, and the longer flow path through the cartridge depth provides better particle capture efficiency at the same face velocity — which means the 20-inch cartridge handles higher flow rates at lower pressure drop than two 10-inch cartridges in series would achieve. For commercial and industrial applications in Oman where downtime for cartridge replacement is a cost and operational factor, the extended service life of the 20-inch format — typically 2–4× the replacement interval of a 10-inch cartridge at equivalent flow rates — justifies the larger housing investment.

Key Features and Benefits

Double capacity at 20-inch length: Approximately 2–4× the dirt-holding capacity of a 10-inch cartridge — extends replacement intervals for commercial and industrial applications where cartridge change frequency directly affects maintenance labour costs and system downtime.
4.5-inch OD jumbo standard dimensions: Fits all standard 20-inch big blue and jumbo filter housings used in commercial whole-house and industrial pre-treatment systems in Oman — UV Water Systems installs and supplies 20-inch housings in stainless steel and FRP-lined designs for these applications.
5-micron depth filtration: Melt-blown PP construction provides rated 5-micron absolute filtration with depth filtration gradient — captures fine silt, rust particles, coagulant residue, and suspended matter from PAEW supply and borehole water before it reaches downstream treatment equipment.
Wide temperature and chemistry compatibility: Suitable for feed water temperatures up to 52°C and compatible with Oman’s chlorinated municipal supply, dechlorinated carbon-filtered water, and borehole water across a broad pH range (1–12).
Multi-cartridge housing compatibility: The 20-inch format is used in multi-cartridge stainless steel housings (5×20-inch and 7×40-inch configurations) supplied by UV Water Systems for industrial pre-treatment — allowing high flow rates with practical cartridge replacement intervals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What housing do I need for a 20-inch jumbo cartridge? The 20-inch × 4.5-inch jumbo format requires a big blue or jumbo filter housing with a 4.5-inch inner diameter and 20-inch sump length. UV Water Systems supplies stainless steel and polypropylene jumbo housings for these cartridges — sold separately or as a complete housing-plus-cartridge pre-treatment assembly. Call +968 9763 7786 for a complete pre-treatment system quote.

How many jumbo cartridges do I need for a commercial restaurant? A restaurant using 1,000–2,000 litres per day for kitchen, ice, and beverage production typically requires a single 20-inch jumbo housing with one 5-micron PP cartridge as RO pre-treatment. Higher-flow applications may require dual-housing or a multi-cartridge stainless steel housing. UV Water Systems sizes pre-treatment systems based on your actual daily water consumption and inlet water quality in Oman.
