Axtron Gold 5 Micron Filter – 100 Gram, 10 Inch
The Axtron Gold 5 Micron is a PPF sediment filter for the first stage of a water filter or RO plant. It’s made from polypropylene and catches dust, rust, sand and mud before they reach your carbon cartridges and RO membrane. At 100 grams, it’s the entry-level cartridge in the Axtron PPF range: the lowest-cost way to keep your first stage clean, as long as you change it on time. It fits every standard 10 inch housing. Buy it at our shops in Multan, Lahore and Bahawalpur, or order it with cash on delivery anywhere in Pakistan.
Compare the Axtron PPF Range
Axtron sells four 10 inch PPF filters. They differ in micron rating (how fine they filter) and weight (how much filter material is inside).
| Weight | Micron | Best for | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Axtron Gold 5 Micron (this filter) | 100 grams | 5 micron | Lowest cost, with frequent changes |
| Axtron Gold 1 Micron | 130 grams | 1 micron | Economical, finer cleaning |
| Axtron Gold 0.3 Micron | 160 grams | 0.3 micron | Fine cleaning for everyday use |
| Axtron 0.3 Micron Vietnam | 180 grams | 0.3 micron | Longest run and maximum cleaning |
How to read this:
- Micron: the lower the number, the finer the cleaning. A 5 micron filter catches larger particles than a 1 or 0.3 micron filter.
- Weight: the heavier the cartridge, the more dirt it can hold and the more days it works before choking.
The 5 micron Gold suits fairly clean water when you’re happy to change the filter regularly. If your water carries a lot of mud or rust, a heavier, finer grade will last longer and protect your membrane better.
What a 5 Micron Filter Catches
The 5 micron Gold stops the visible dirt that comes through household water supplies:
- Dust and dirt
- Rust from pipes and tanks
- Sand and mud (silt)
It handles dirt only. Other stages do the rest:
- Smell and taste: GAC and CTO carbon cartridges
- Bacteria: a UF membrane
- TDS and salts: the RO membrane
Where It Fits
The PPF filter always goes in the first stage. It fits every standard 10 inch housing in domestic water filters and RO plants.
In a 3-stage water filter, there are two common setups:
- PPF + GAC + CTO: for clear water with taste or smell problems
- PPF + PPF + CTO: for water with heavy mud or rust
A 10 inch domestic water filter suits a home of 5–8 people.

When to Change a 5 Micron Filter
Our field experience puts PPF life at 15–30 days. At 100 grams, this cartridge holds the least material in the Axtron range, so it fills up faster than the heavier grades. With dirty water, plan to change it closer to 15 days.
The cartridge itself tells you when it’s done: when it’s fully brown or dark, change it. With a transparent 10 inch housing you can see this at a glance. A choked PPF lets dirt pass on to your carbon cartridges and membrane, so changing it on time is the cheapest protection your system can get.
From our service team:
- Filter switched off for a while? Replace all cartridges before using it again. Standing water goes stale in the housings, and empty housings dry the cartridges out.
- Non-electric filters: use normal overhead tank pressure. Never connect directly to a motor or pump line.
Changing all three stages? The 10 inch PPF, GAC and CTO cartridge set covers them in one buy. See all 10 inch domestic filter cartridges.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 5 micron filter?
A 5 micron filter is a PPF sediment cartridge that catches particles down to 5 microns, such as dust, rust, sand and mud. It goes in the first stage of a water filter or RO plant.
What is the difference between 5 micron, 1 micron and 0.3 micron filters?
The lower the micron number, the finer the cleaning. Axtron’s range goes from the 5 micron Gold (100 grams) to the 1 micron Gold (130 grams), the 0.3 micron Gold (160 grams) and the 0.3 micron Vietnam (180 grams).
Which PPF filter should I buy?
For fairly clean water with regular changes, the 5 micron Gold is the lowest-cost option. For muddy or rusty water, choose a heavier 0.3 micron grade. It cleans finer and lasts longer.
How often should I change a 5 micron filter?
Every 15–30 days, and sooner with dirty water. Change it when the whole cartridge has turned brown or dark.
Will it fit my water filter or RO plant?
Yes. It fits every standard 10 inch housing in domestic water filters and RO plants.
Does a 5 micron filter remove smell or TDS?
No. It removes dirt only. Carbon cartridges handle smell and taste, and the RO membrane reduces TDS.
