Description
Product Overview
The Franklin 40" x 2.5" OD FWPS Series Spun Poly Filter Cartridge is designed for maximum filtration capacity and extended operational life in high-flow commercial and industrial water treatment systems. Constructed from thermally fused polypropylene fibers, this cartridge delivers efficient sediment reduction without the use of adhesives, surfactants, or chemical binders.
Its multi-density three-layer construction provides superior contaminant retention by capturing larger particles near the surface and finer sediment deeper within the cartridge structure. This design helps maximize dirt-holding capacity, reduce pressure loss, and extend replacement intervals.
The extra-long 40" configuration is ideal for systems requiring higher throughput, reduced downtime, and lower maintenance costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose a 40" filter cartridge?
A 40" cartridge offers significantly greater dirt-holding capacity and longer filtration cycles, making it ideal for high-volume systems and reducing maintenance frequency.
Is polypropylene resistant to bacteria and chemicals?
Yes. Polypropylene is highly resistant to bacterial attack and compatible with a wide range of chemicals and process fluids.
Will this filter affect water taste or odor?
No. The polypropylene material will not add taste, color, or odor to the water.
What micron ratings are available?
The FWPS Series 40" cartridges are available in 1, 5, and 20 micron ratings.
Can this filter be used before reverse osmosis systems?
Yes. These cartridges are commonly used as pre-filtration stages to protect RO membranes from sediment and particulate contamination.
