Description
Product Overview
The Franklin 20" x 2.5" OD FWPS Series Spun Poly Filter Cartridge provides high-capacity sediment filtration for commercial, industrial, and high-demand residential water treatment systems. Built from thermally bonded polypropylene fibers, this cartridge delivers reliable contaminant reduction without using binders, surfactants, or adhesives.
Its graduated three-layer density structure improves filtration efficiency and dirt-holding capacity by trapping larger particles near the exterior while finer particles are captured deeper within the cartridge core. This design helps maximize service life while maintaining low pressure drop and consistent flow rates.
The extended 20" length provides increased filtration capacity and longer replacement intervals compared to standard 10" cartridges.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose a 20" filter cartridge?
A 20" cartridge provides greater sediment-holding capacity and longer service intervals than a standard 10" cartridge.
What is the benefit of the three-layer construction?
The layered density structure improves contaminant capture efficiency while maximizing dirt-holding capacity and maintaining flow performance.
Is polypropylene chemically resistant?
Yes. Polypropylene offers broad compatibility with many water treatment and process fluid applications.
Will the filter affect water taste or smell?
No. The polypropylene media will not add taste, odor, or color to the water.
Can this filter be used in industrial applications?
Yes. The FWPS Series is commonly used in commercial and industrial filtration systems including process water, chemical processing, and pre-RO filtration.
