High-surface-area, large-diameter cartridges designed for high-flow water and general aqueous service. Single-cartridge format simplifies change-outs and reduces handling. Three body sizes support flow rates up to 150 GPM per cartridge.
Key Features
- Available micron ratings from 0.35 to 150 µm
- Large diameter, single-cartridge construction for fast installation and change-outs
- High media surface area to extend service life and improve total cost of ownership
- Polypropylene media, core, and end caps; thermally bonded construction
- Compatible with a wide range of potable water and aqueous industrial applications
- 20 µm and above may be washed and reused (when application-appropriate)
Typical Applications
- RO prefiltration
- Process water and wastewater
- Food & beverage and bottled water
- Swimming pools and spas
- Plating solutions
