CW / WP Series Polypropylene Wound Cartridges

Summary

Product identification

Pentek CW/WP Series polypropylene wound cartridges feature a string-wound design for reducing fine sediment from various fluids. They are an economical solution for removing silt, rust, and scale particles.

• CW cartridges: Economical, wound in a standard pattern around a polypropylene core.
  • Nominal micron ratings: 10, 30, 50.
• WP Series cartridges: Wound in a precise pattern for greater surface area and higher dirt-loading capacity.
  • Nominal micron ratings: 5, 30.

Operating limits

• Withstands temperatures up to 165ºF (73.9ºC).
• Temperature Rating: 40–145ºF (4.4–62.8ºC).
• Capable of flow rates between 7 and 10 GPM with minimal pressure drop.

Materials of Construction

• Filter Media: Polypropylene Fiber Cord
• Core: Polypropylene

Feed water

CW and WP Series cartridges are suitable for a wide variety of fluids, including municipal and well water.

WARNING: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
