Franklin 10" x 2.5" OD Spun Poly Filter Cartridge, NSF 42 Certified (FWPS Series)

Product Overview The Franklin 10" x 2.5" OD FWPS Series Spun Poly Filter Cartridge is designed for reliable sediment filtration in residential, commercial, and light industrial water treatment systems. Manufactured from 100% melt-blown polypropylene using thermal fusion technology, this cartridge contains no adhesives, binders, or chemical glues that could leach into the water supply. Its advanced three-layer density construction captures larger particles near the outer surface while finer fibers inside retain smaller contaminants deeper within the cartridge. This design increases dirt-holding capacity, reduces pressure drop, and extends filter service life. Ideal for potable water systems, reverse osmosis pre-filtration, process water, and general sediment reduction applications. Key Features 100% polypropylene construction for excellent chemical compatibility Three-layer density structure improves contaminant retention Thermal-bonded design without binders or adhesives High dirt-holding capacity and long service life Low pressure drop for consistent flow performance Resistant to bacterial attack Will not add taste, odor, or color to water NSF 42 and FDA CFR Title 21 certified Applications Potable drinking water Reverse osmosis pre-filtration Water purification systems Process water filtration Food & beverage applications Chemical processing Sediment reduction systems Specifications Specification Detail Series FWPS Series Cartridge Length 10" 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) Max Flow Rate 2–8 GPM Micron Ratings Available 1, 5, 20, 50 Micron Certifications NSF 42, FDA CFR Title 21 Frequently Asked Questions What does this filter remove?
