X 10: 20 micron wound wire cartridges, 5" – code: KIT NS X10 20MICR5 – Idromar

The kit X 10 cartridges of wound wire Idromar is designed as a replacement for mechanical water filtration in technical systems, where it is useful to retain particles and sediments before they reach the users or downstream components. The structure in polypropylene and the wound wire construction make these cartridges a typical choice for routine maintenance interventions, in nautical and plant engineering fields.

This version is identified by the code KIT NS X10 20MICR5 and includes 10 cartridges in the format 5″. The indicated filtration grade is 20 micron (as per product title).

Features and construction details

Filtering material: polypropylene

The cartridges are made with polypropylene wound wire. This material is commonly used in mechanical filtration for its suitability for contact with water and for its ability to form an effective filtering matrix to retain solid impurities.

Wound wire structure

The wound wire technology creates a texture that progressively intercepts suspended particles. In practice, the cartridge works as a pre-filter to reduce the presence of solid contaminants that can compromise the proper functioning of faucets, pumps, solenoid valves, and other system components.

Format and dimensions

The kit is in 5″ format (inches). The dimensions reported in existing content are:

• Height: 5″ (12.6 cm)
• Outer diameter: 6.3 cm

Filtration grade

The product is described as 20 micron (as per title and code). The filtration grade is a key parameter for choosing the cartridge based on the type of water and the desired level of protection: a more “open” filtration is often used as a first stage to retain coarser sediments, leaving any subsequent stages the task of further refining the treatment.

Kit contents

• Quantity: 10 cartridges
• Product code: KIT NS X10 20MICR5
• Brand / supplier: Idromar International

Typical applications (nautical and plant engineering)

These cartridges are suitable for mechanical filtration applications where the goal is to reduce the presence of particulate matter. In a nautical or onboard plant engineering context, they can be used as replacements in filter holders compatible with 5″ cartridges and with dimensions consistent with those indicated.

Filtration of sediments and impurities

The wound wire cartridge is designed to retain solid contaminants commonly found in water, such as:

• sediments
• sand
• dirt
• suspended impurities

Protection of downstream components

Inserting a cartridge of this type upstream of the system helps limit the accumulation of particles in the most sensitive points. In particular, it is a typical solution when you want to keep circuits cleaner and reduce the need for interventions due to blockages or deposits.

Use and maintenance notes

When to replace the cartridge

Replacement depends on actual usage conditions and water quality. Existing content indicates a replacement every 3/6 months depending on the type of water. In the presence of water with more sediment, the cartridge may saturate sooner; in more favorable conditions, it can last longer.

Practical indications

• Check that the filter housing is designed for cartridges 5″ and that the sizes are compatible.
• During replacement, check the condition of the housing and the filter housing seals, cleaning any deposits.
• After installation, restore the water supply and check for leaks.

Note on micron rating selection

The micron rating should be chosen based on the filtration goal and the possible presence of other filtering stages. If the system includes multiple filters in series, a cartridge with a more “open” micron rating can be used as the first stage to intercept the bulk of the particulate, leaving the finishing to the subsequent stages.
