What to check before you order
This page does not say this cartridge works in any particular housing or swaps for any other brand's part. Compare these first:
- Housing size. This part is 2.5" x 40". Make sure your housing takes 2.5"-diameter cartridges, not 4.5".
- End style. Not listed for this part. Tell us if your housing needs a spring seat, fin end or gasket.
- Micron rating and type. 5 micron, and the data sheet doesn't say nominal or absolute.
- Depth vs string-wound vs pleated. The same 2.5" x 40" size comes in different media. See SWC-25-4005 (string-wound) and SPC-25-4005 (pleated), and our spec comparison guide.
- Certification. If your spec requires NSF/ANSI 61 or 42, put it in your request.
Where it's used
The manufacturer says the 2.5" SDC cartridge is widely used for pre-filtration ahead of RO systems and for post-filtration after GAC (granular activated carbon) filters. It's also used in ice machines, beverage and coffee, analytical, film processing and wineries. The listed applications include pre-filters for DI and RO systems, low-viscosity chemical pre-filtration, and manufacturing and water recycling. (Source: SDC data sheet.)

FAQ
- What does "sediment depth" mean?
- The cartridge traps particles through its thickness, not only on the surface. The manufacturer describes the SDC structure as graded density.
- What size is SDC-25-4005?
- 2.5" diameter x 40" long.
- How many per case?
- 20.
- Is it NSF certified?
- Tell us which standard your specification requires. We check certification against the manufacturer's listing for the exact part number, and we don't assume it from the product series.
- When should it be changed?
- The manufacturer recommends replacement at a pressure drop of 21.75 psi (1.5 kg/cm²). Follow your site's procedure first.
- Can I send another brand's part number instead?
- Yes. Send us the part number and we'll tell you what we can supply against it.
