Sterling SW1020 FAQ

What is the benefit of a string-wound filter over a standard pleated filter?

String-wound filters provide true depth filtration, capturing larger particles on the outer layers and smaller particles deeper within the core. This design allows for higher dirt-holding capacity when filtering water with heavy sediment, sand, or rust.

Can this filter cartridge be used for drinking water?

Yes. The Sterling SW1020 is manufactured from FDA-grade polypropylene specifically designed for safe potable water filtration.

What size filter housing does this replacement cartridge fit?

This cartridge is standard size (10 inches in length by 2.5 inches in diameter) and fits most standard 10-inch filter housings designed for 2.5" diameter cartridges.
