Unicel (T-0497-20-B) 9.75"x2.75" Pleated Polypropylene 4 Sq. Ft 20 Micron Filter
T-0497-20-B Pleated Polypropylene Sediment Filter
The Unicel T-0497-20-B is a pleated sediment filter designed for extended service life in whole house and reverse osmosis pre-filtration applications. With 4 square feet of surface area in a compact 9.75" x 2.75" cartridge, it delivers superior sediment removal at 20 microns while maintaining low pressure drop and consistent flow rates.
Why Flow-Max Outperforms Wound and Spun Filters
Pleated Design
4 square feet of synthetic media provides dramatically more surface area than wound or spun cartridges, extending filter life and reducing replacement frequency
Cleanable & Reusable
Unlike disposable depth filters, this cartridge can be rinsed and reused multiple times on 5 micron and higher ratings, reducing long-term cost
Cellulose-Free Media
100% synthetic polypropylene construction is naturally bacteria resistant with no binders, additives, or materials that cause foaming or harbor microbes
Low Pressure Drop
Pleated geometry maintains consistent flow rates and minimal pressure loss compared to traditional depth-type sediment cartridges
20 Micron Filtration
Ideal for pre-filtration in RO systems and whole house applications where moderate sediment removal is needed without sacrificing flow
Cyst Reduction
Effective for reduction of Cryptosporidium and Giardia cysts to 99.9% when used as part of a properly designed filtration system
Standard 10" Housing Fitment
The T-0497-20-B fits all standard 10-inch filter housings with 2.5-inch diameter capacity. Commonly used as sediment pre-filtration in reverse osmosis systems, whole house water treatment installations, and commercial filtration setups where cleanable media and extended service life are priorities. Compatible with Unicel and most aftermarket 10" x 2.5" housings rated for pleated cartridge use.
Unicel Flow-Max cartridges are manufactured to strict quality standards for consistent performance in residential and light commercial water filtration systems.
