The SpringWell Sediment Filter Canister is a standard cartridge housing shipped with a 5-micron sediment cartridge for dirt, sand, silt and rust flakes. The PF-10 (10 in. housing, 1 in. ports) is rated 20 GPM; the PF-20 (20 in. housing, 1.5 in. ports) is rated 35+ GPM for high-flow homes. SpringWell recommends installing it ahead of softeners and UV systems and changing the cartridge every 6-9 months depending on usage; no gallon capacity is published.

The kit includes the housing, mounting bracket, O-ring and spanner wrench and needs no drain or power. Only a 5-micron cartridge is listed, so there is no coarse spin-down stage for wells that pump heavy sand. Shipping weight is 5 lb and no certifications are stated.

Price was $83.23 at springwellwater.com as of Oct 2026 (sale; regular $150). The PF-20 was $190.39 (sale; regular $205.62). The housing carries SpringWell's lifetime warranty against defects, which is unusual for a cartridge pre-filter; cartridges are consumables, and returns are limited to unused, uninstalled items within 6 months with a 10% restocking fee. Install is DIY.

Pros and cons

Pros

Lifetime housing warranty is unusual for a cartridge pre-filter
20 in. option with 1.5 in. ports for high-flow homes

Cons

Only a 5-micron cartridge option is listed; no coarse spin-down stage for heavy sand
No published capacity rating
Regular price of $150 is high for a standard 10 in. housing

Our take

This is a fine-sediment polishing stage for a SpringWell system, and the lifetime housing warranty is a real plus. It is not the right first stage for a sandy well: 5 microns will clog fast under heavy grit, so put a flushable spin-down such as the Rusco 1 in. or iSpring WSP-50 ahead of it. At the $150 regular price it is expensive for a standard 10 in. housing.

Not sure it is the right size for your flow and your water test? Work through the sizing guide, or compare every system we cover on the best sediment filters for well water (2026) list.
