The cartridges are manufactured from a durable polypropylene cord wound around a rigid polypropylene core.
Features/Benefits
- String-wound design reduces fine sediment from a variety of fluids.
- Economically priced.
- Filter Media: fibrous polypropylene fiber cord.
Operating limits
- Temperature Rating: 40-165°F (4.4-73.9°C)
- General Flow Rates: Accommodate flow rates between 10 and 65 GPM with minimal pressure drop.
Mechanical / hydraulic
- Diameters: 4.5"
- Lengths: 10", 20"
- Micron Ratings: Nominal 0.5, 1, 5, 10, 25 micron.
- Applications: Suitable for a wide range of sediment applications including municipal and well water, and are bacteria and chemical resistant for use with many industrial fluids.

Warnings & Notes
- Note: The anti-static agent used in the WP-BB Cartridges may cause some foaming during start up of a new cartridge. If foaming is an application issue, the WPX-BB Series is recommended.
- WARNING: Do not use with microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality water without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
