Description
Inline Sediment Water Filter – 5 Micron (2″ × 10″)
This premium inline sediment filter is designed to capture common particles such as
rust, sand, dirt, silt, and suspended solids. Used as the first-stage pre-filter,
it helps protect downstream cartridges and can extend the life of your RO membrane by reducing sediment buildup.
Built with a durable inline body and a compact 2″ × 10″ format, it’s a reliable, cost-effective upgrade for
countertop RO and many traditional under-sink RO setups that use 1/4″ tubing.
Connection note: This filter has 1/4″ FPT threaded ports. We include
(2) 1/4″ push-to-connect elbow adapters for easy installation with standard RO tubing.

- (2) Push-to-connect elbow adapters (for 1/4″ and / or 3/8″ OD Tubing Connection) for standard RO tubing installation
Recommended Use
- As a first-stage sediment pre-filter in countertop RO systems
- In many traditional under-sink RO systems using 1/4″ tubing (verify your setup and space)

🔧Installation Tips
Tubing Size
- Most RO systems use 1/4″ OD tubing (standard RO size).
- Some countertop RO systems and specialty setups use 3/8″ OD tubing.
- Tubing size refers to the outside diameter (OD) of the tube.
When Do You Need Elbow Adapters?
- Select 3/8″ OD Tubing if your system uses larger tubing.
- We include 2 elbow adapters to connect the inline filter to 3/8″ OD tubing.
✔ No tools required
✔ Push-to-connect installation
When Do You Need a T-Fitting?
A T-fitting (1/4″ stem x 1/4″ OD Tubing x 1/4″ OD Tubing) is helpful if you are:
- Adding the inline filter to an existing 1/4″ RO line
- Want an easier install with a clean branch connection
- Installing between tubing lines without reworking your layout
✔ Optional accessory
✔ Makes installation easier for some setups
Not Sure Which Option to Choose?
- If unsure, select Universal Fit option (Included 4 elbow adapters for 1/4″ & 3/8″ OD Tubing Connection)
- Message us before ordering—we’re happy to help you pick the right fittings.
▶️ Video Installation Guidance
Because RO systems and plumbing layouts can vary, there are multiple valid ways to install an inline filter.
If you are unsure about your setup, we recommend:
- Searching YouTube for “inline RO filter installation”
- Watching a video that best matches your system type
(under-sink RO, countertop RO, post-filter installation, etc.)
Visual step-by-step videos can be very helpful and often make installation easier and faster.
