Amwater Stainless Steel Cleanable Wire Mesh Filter Cartridge 10”Length,4.5"OD(50 Micron)

Fit filter housing perfectly. Easy to clean.

This is designed as a reusable replacement filter for a small canister filter. I was not expecting a port and gasket at both ends. That defeats my purpose in buying it.The build quality is great, though. All weld seams and connections are well done.

I thought this was going to be a great product, I almost ordered another on only with a different micron so I could filter in stages. I finally finished my plumbing project and went to change the filters but it is to tall and will not let the filter case seal. I also waited to long to return it so now I have a new $64.85 filter I can’t use.

I ordered the filter for an automatic spray wash cabinet. I ordered the 4.5" diameter filter by mistake, I have a 2.5" housing. The filter is exactly 10" long from gasket to gasket. I see some have had trouble fitting it, I don't think it is designed to fit a housing that is made for the compressible yarn or poly filters, I think it's designed to fit the same brand stainless housings. It appears to be very good quality, I'm going to hang on to it until I can upgrade my filter housing to 4.5".

This is perfect as a pre-filter for a well water filter I am building. I tested this and it does not restrict the flow of water. It was very easy to install. These function well, I have not had it get dirty yet, to test how easily it will clean, but in theory this seems to be the best option as a first stage sediment filter.

It only fit if I removed the silicone seals on each end. After that, it was a good fit. It may have some debris leak by, but it's a sediment filter so not a big deal. I know it's a good fit because I measured the height against a regular filter using a height gauge. I also measured the height of the housing with the stainless filter installed. That is how I knew it was too tall, it wouldn't screw all the closed.

Absolutely would not fit in my filter housing with gaskets on both ends. I removed the gaskets and it fit. Needs to be 1/4" shorter. I'm still going to use it but frustrated the gaskets won't fit.

I got the 10 micron version of this.The first thing i noticed is that this SS mesh filter is slightly longer than they say it is. To make matters worse, the top and bottom gaskets are thicker than normal but they do compress. A quick measurement reveals that the SS filter itself is just short of a 1/8" taller than any of the other filters I have been using over the years.Fortunately, the standard 10" x 4.5" filter canisters I use (3 canisters in series) still seal up properly, but it's tight. I can see where this wouldn't fit at all in many brands of filter canisters.Quality wise, this is nice. Well made and reusable. I especially like the 'reusable' part. Take it out, clean it and reinstall it. Good money saver.Worth it? I think so but this is not going to fit into a canister that has no 'wiggle room'. Be sure to consider that before ordering.
