SUEZ - Purtrex Series - 5" x 2.5" Spun Polypropylene Depth Sediment Filter (Veolia)

The SUEZ Purtrex Series 5" x 2.5" spun polypropylene depth filter delivers thermally bonded, graded-density sediment filtration for whole-house, RO pretreatment, and light industrial applications. This filter's progressive density structure captures particles throughout the entire depth of the media without surface blinding, extending service life and reducing changeout frequency.
SPECIFICATIONS

Purtrex Depth Filter Technical Data

Manufacturer SUEZ (formerly GE Osmonics, Veolia)
Dimensions 5" length x 2.5" outer diameter
Micron Ratings 1, 5, 20, 75 micron
Construction 100% pure polypropylene, thermally bonded meltblown
Filter Type Graded-density depth filter (progressive filtration)
Applications RO pretreatment, whole-house, chemical filtration, potable water
Chemical Compatibility Broad compatibility with acids, bases, solvents (inert polypropylene)
Certifications NSF 42/61, FDA 21CFR 177.1520, USP Class VI, ISO 9001, EU 1935/2004
INSTALLATION & USE

Filter Cartridge Installation

  1. Shut off water supply and relieve system pressure by opening a downstream faucet or pressing the housing pressure relief button if equipped.
  2. Unscrew the filter housing sump using a housing wrench. Remove the old Purtrex cartridge and dispose of according to local regulations (filter incinerates to trace ash with no hazardous volatiles).
  3. Wipe the housing interior clean, inspect and lubricate the o-ring with food-grade silicone grease, then insert the new Purtrex cartridge with the open end facing up.
  4. Thread the sump back onto the housing cap hand-tight, then turn an additional quarter-turn with the wrench. Do not overtighten.
  5. Slowly open the water supply and check for leaks. Flush the new filter for 3-5 minutes before resuming normal use.
COMPATIBILITY

System Compatibility & Replacement

The SUEZ Purtrex 5" x 2.5" cartridge fits proprietary SUEZ (GE Osmonics, Veolia) filter housings designed for this compact length format. This size is not a standard 10" or 20" cartridge and requires a housing specifically rated for 5" x 2.5" filters. Purtrex filters are direct replacements for legacy GE Osmonics and Veolia-branded Purtrex depth filters in the same dimensions and micron rating. Choose your micron rating based on sediment load: 75 micron for heavy sediment, 20 micron for general whole-house use, 5 micron for RO pretreatment, and 1 micron for final polish or high-purity applications.

🔧 Pro Tip: Purtrex filters use graded-density construction that gets finer toward the core, so sediment loads throughout the depth rather than clogging the surface. This design dramatically extends filter life compared to flat-density cartridges, but you should still monitor pressure drop across the housing and replace when flow noticeably decreases or every 6-12 months under normal residential sediment loads.
