String Wound Filter Cartridge

A string wound filter cartridge is a type of water filtration cartridge that is made by winding a string-like material (such as cotton, polypropylene, or fiberglass) around a central core. The string is tightly wound in a specific pattern to create a dense filtration media with a high dirt-holding capacity.

This type of filter cartridge is commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial applications to remove sediment, dirt, rust, and other particles from water. The string wound design allows for effective filtration and provides a large surface area for capturing contaminants.

String wound filter cartridges are available in various sizes and micron ratings, allowing them to be used for different filtration needs. They are typically used as pre-filters to protect more sensitive downstream equipment, such as reverse osmosis systems or water softeners.

To install a string wound filter cartridge, it is placed inside a filter housing and connected to the water supply. The water passes through the cartridge, and the string material traps and holds the particles, allowing only clean water to pass through.

Over time, the string wound filter cartridge will become clogged with trapped particles, reducing its effectiveness. It is recommended to replace the cartridge periodically, depending on the water quality and usage.
