Watts-SF-20 Watts String Wound Cartridge Standard 20" in

The Watts-SF-20 string wound sediment filter delivers reliable mechanical filtration for whole-house and under-counter systems, removing particles down to 20 or 50 microns depending on the variant you choose. Built with 100% polypropylene construction, this 20" x 2.5" cartridge offers superior chemical resistance and zero media migration for consistently clean water.

COMPATIBILITY & APPLICATIONS

Where This Filter Works

The Watts-SF-20 is designed for standard 20-inch filter housings in both whole-house sediment filtration systems and under-counter applications including reverse osmosis pre-filtration. Use it as a replacement cartridge in any Watts or compatible brand housing rated for 20" x 2.5" cartridges. This filter is ideal for municipal water with sand, silt, rust, or scale, and serves as effective pre-filtration upstream of carbon blocks, membranes, or UV systems. Food grade materials meet FDA requirements for drinking water, beverage processing, and food service applications.

💧 Pro tip: String wound filters offer higher dirt-holding capacity than melt-blown equivalents at the same micron rating. If you're seeing frequent cartridge changes, the Watts-SF-20 will likely extend your service intervals without sacrificing filtration performance.
