Sterling PC1020 FAQ

Why is the PC1020 not recommended for well water?

The PC Series media is optimized for municipal chlorinated water. Well water often contains heavy sand, silt, iron, or organic loading that requires a depth-style filter (like the Sterling SW Series string-wound cartridges) to prevent premature clogging.

What size filter housing does this cartridge fit?

It features a standard 10" x 2.5" footprint and fits most standard 10-inch filter housings.

How often should this sediment cartridge be replaced?

Replace the cartridge every 3 to 6 months, or sooner if you observe a noticeable drop in household water pressure.
