Boshart 14-GSWP1 10" Polypropylene String-Wound Sediment Cartridge Filter

Boshart 14-GSWP1-05 10" 5 Micron Polypropylene String-Wound Filter Cartridge

The Boshart 14-GSWP1-05 is a 10" string-wound sediment filter cartridge manufactured from FDA grade polypropylene, rated at a 5 micron filtration level. Built for plumbers and water treatment contractors installing whole-house or point-of-use filtration ahead of pumps, fixtures, and appliances, this cartridge is suitable for potable water filtration at ambient temperatures. It is manufactured by diagonally winding a precise pattern of selected polypropylene fibers around a center core, creating hundreds of tapered, spiral passageways engineered to trap sediment throughout the entire depth of the cartridge rather than just on the surface.

Key Features

• Trade Size: 10" giant-format cartridge for standard filter housings sized to accept this length.
• Micron Rating: 5 micron construction removes very fine sediment while still handling coarser particulate loads.
• Durable Construction: FDA grade polypropylene fiber construction suitable for potable water filtration applications.
• String-Wound Media: Diagonally wound fiber pattern on a center core creates tapered spiral passageways that lock in contaminants layer by layer during manufacturing.
• Depth Filtration: Filtration occurs throughout the entire cartridge body, not just at the surface, allowing large amounts of contaminant to be trapped without the sudden pressure rise caused by surface blinding.
• Engineered Micron Control: The wind pattern is varied during manufacturing to fabricate cartridges to a pre-determined, consistent micron rating.
• Packaging: Supplied 8 per case for stocking distributors and contractors servicing multiple installations.

Why Boshart?

Boshart string-wound cartridges are manufactured from FDA grade polypropylene using a precise diagonal winding process that locks fibers in place layer by layer, producing a consistent, pre-determined micron rating from cartridge to cartridge. Because filtration takes place through the full depth of the media rather than only at the surface, these cartridges are built to trap heavier contaminant loads before pressure rises from surface blinding, giving contractors a dependable, potable-water-suitable sediment filter for rough-in and retrofit filtration work.
