{"title":"Antimicrobial Filters","description":"\u003cp\u003eAntimicrobial sediment filters from Hydrana combine a proven string-wound depth cartridge with antimicrobial protection built into the cartridge itself, inhibiting growth in and on the cartridge while it sits in a damp whole-house housing between changes. For well-water homes and any household that keeps a cartridge in service for months, that added protection on the cartridge is the reason to choose this version over a standard cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBe clear on what it does and does not do: this cartridge helps reduce dirt, sand, rust and sediment like any good string-wound filter, and the antimicrobial treatment protects the cartridge itself. It does not disinfect your water and it is not a substitute for treating a water-quality problem at its source. If your goal is sediment control with extra cartridge protection, this is the right tool; if your water needs disinfection, that is a different treatment step entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizes cover the standard whole-house range — 10 inch or 20 inch length, 2.5 inch standard or 4.5 inch Big Blue diameter — in 1, 5, 10, 20, 30, 50 and 100 micron ratings, with 5 micron the popular general-purpose pick and coarser ratings better for sandy wells. Every cartridge is made to order and manufactured in the USA. Change it every 3 to 6 months on the same schedule as a standard cartridge.

Important and honest: this is still a sediment filter. It does not disinfect your water, and it is chosen by homeowners who keep a cartridge in a damp housing for months at a time, especially on well water, and want that extra protection on the cartridge while it works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSizes, microns and the 5 micron default\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose 10 inch or 20 inch length, 2.5 inch diameter for standard slim housings or 4.5 inch diameter for Big Blue style housings, in 1, 5, 10, 20, 30, 50 or 100 micron. 5 micron is the most popular general whole-house rating; heavier well-water grit is better handled stepped — 50–100 micron first for sand, 20–30 micron for general sediment, then 5–10 micron for finer dirt and rust. Use 1 micron only as a final stage, because a very fine cartridge on silty water can clog quickly and reduce pressure. This range covers common replacement searches such as 20 x 4.5 sediment filter 5 micron and 10 x 2.5 antimicrobial sediment filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often to change it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReplace every 3 to 6 months in most homes, sooner if flow drops, pressure falls by roughly 10–20 PSI, or the cartridge is visibly loaded. Antimicrobial protection on the cartridge is not a reason to stretch change intervals — a loaded sediment cartridge should be changed on schedule.
