Unicel (T-0497-63-B) 10" x 2.5" Pleated Filters 20 MIC. POLYPROPYLENE 6 SQ.FT
10" x 2.5" Pleated Sediment Filter Unicel T-0497-63-B
20 micron polypropylene pleated cartridge with 6 square feet of filtration surface. Built for whole house and RO pre-filtration with cleanable, reusable media.
Pleated design beats depth filters on surface area and lifespan
6 Square Feet of Media
Pleated construction provides significantly more surface area than wound or melt-blown cartridges, reducing pressure drop and extending filter life between cleanings.
Cleanable & Reusable
100% synthetic polypropylene media can be rinsed and reused multiple times at 20 micron rating, reducing replacement costs without sacrificing performance.
Cellulose-Free Media
Synthetic construction resists bacterial growth and contains no binders or additives that cause foaming. Won't break down in water like paper-based filters.
Cyst Reduction
Effective at reducing Cryptosporidium and Giardia cysts by 99.9%, providing reliable protection against common waterborne parasites in well and municipal supplies.
Unicel T-0497-63-B Technical Details
| Dimensions | 10" x 2.5" (9.75" x 2.75" actual) |
| Micron Rating | 20 micron nominal |
| Surface Area | 6 square feet |
| Media Type | 100% polypropylene pleated |
| Applications | Whole house, RO pre-filtration |
| Cleanable | Yes, multiple rinse cycles |
Fits standard 10" x 2.5" filter housings
The Unicel T-0497-63-B fits any standard 10 inch filter housing designed for 2.5 inch diameter cartridges. Common in whole house sediment filtration, well water pre-treatment, and RO system pre-filters. Verify your housing accepts 10" x 2.5" cartridges before ordering.
Cleaning and replacement schedule
Inspect & Clean
Check pressure drop across filter. Rinse with clean water if sediment buildup is visible. At 20 micron, this cartridge can be cleaned 3-5 times before replacement.
Replace Cartridge
Replace when cleaning no longer restores flow rate, or when media shows signs of degradation. Lifespan varies with sediment load and water quality.
Outlasts Depth Filters
Pleated design handles more sediment than wound or melt-blown cartridges at the same micron rating
Rinse & Reuse
Cleanable synthetic media reduces replacement frequency and operating costs
Cyst Protection
99.9% reduction of Cryptosporidium and Giardia for safer drinking water
Pure Polypropylene
No binders, no cellulose, no bacterial growth—just stable synthetic filtration
