Franklin 30" x 2.5" OD Spun Poly Filter Cartridge, NSF 42 Certified (FWPS Series)

Product Overview The Franklin 30" x 2.5" OD FWPS Series Spun Poly Filter Cartridge is engineered for high-capacity sediment filtration in commercial, industrial, and process water applications. Manufactured from 100% melt-blown polypropylene using thermal fusion technology, these cartridges contain no binders, adhesives, or chemical glues that could contaminate the water supply. Its advanced three-layer density design features larger outer fibers and finer inner fibers to maximize dirt-holding capacity while maintaining low pressure drop and consistent filtration performance. This structure allows the cartridge to effectively capture sediment, rust, sand, scale, suspended solids, and particulate contaminants while delivering long service life. The 30" extended-length design provides increased contaminant retention and reduced maintenance frequency for higher-demand filtration systems. Key Features 100% polypropylene construction for broad chemical compatibility Three-layer density structure improves contaminant capture Thermal-bonded design without binders or adhesives High dirt-holding capacity for longer service life Low pressure drop for improved flow efficiency Resistant to bacterial attack and chemical degradation Will not add taste, odor, or color to water NSF 42 and FDA CFR Title 21 certified Applications Potable water filtration Reverse osmosis pre-filtration Process water systems Food & beverage filtration Chemical processing Electroplating applications Water purification systems Specifications Specification Detail Series FWPS Series Cartridge Length 30" Outside Diameter 2.5" Media 100% Melt-Blown Polypropylene Construction Thermal Bonded Max Operating Temperature 65°C (150°F) Nominal Replacement Pressure Drop 1.5 Bar (22 PSI) Maximum Pressure Drop @ 20°C 3.2 Bar (46.4 PSI) Micron Ratings Available 1, 5, 20 Micron Certifications NSF 42, FDA CFR Title 21 Frequently Asked Questions What contaminants does this filter remove? The FWPS Series helps reduce sediment, rust, sand, scale, suspended solids, and other particulate contaminants from water systems. What makes the three-layer structure beneficial? The graduated density design traps larger particles on the outer layers while capturing finer contaminants deeper inside the cartridge, extending filter life and improving dirt-holding capacity. Does this filter contain adhesives or binders? No. The cartridge is thermally bonded without chemical glues, binders, or adhesives. Is this cartridge safe for drinking water applications? Yes. The filter is NSF 42 certified and compliant with FDA CFR Title 21 requirements for potable water applications. Can this cartridge be used with chemicals? Yes. The 100% polypropylene construction offers broad chemical compatibility for many industrial and process fluid applications.
