Boshart 14SWP1 Series String Wound Polypropylene Sediment Cartridge

Boshart 14SWP1 Series String Wound Polypropylene Sediment Cartridge, 10"

The Boshart 14SWP1 Series is a 10" standard string wound filter cartridge manufactured from FDA grade polypropylene, suitable for potable water filtration systems in residential and commercial rough-in installations. This family is available in multiple micron ratings — 1, 5, and 50 micron — giving plumbers and water treatment installers the flexibility to select the media that matches the sediment load and downstream equipment on a given job. Built for sediment removal at ambient water temperatures, every cartridge in the 14SWP1 Series is engineered with a diagonally wound fiber pattern around a center core that creates hundreds of tapered, spiral passageways for depth filtration rather than simple surface screening. Contractors rely on this cartridge type to protect downstream fixtures, water heaters, and appliances from sediment while maintaining consistent flow and pressure over the service life of the filter.

Key Features

• Trade Size: 10" standard length cartridge, sized for common inline and housing-style sediment filter systems.
• Micron Rating Range: Available in 1, 5, and 50 micron ratings (Models 14-SWP1-01, 14-SWP1-05, 14-SWP1-50) to match fine, standard, or coarse sediment filtration needs.
• Durable Construction: FDA grade polypropylene fiber, suitable for potable water applications and resistant to the moisture and mineral content typical of raw water supplies.
• String Wound Design: Carefully selected fibers are diagonally wound onto a center core in a precise pattern, with fibers combed across the passageway and locked in place by succeeding layers as the cartridge is built up.
• Depth Filtration: Filtration occurs throughout the full depth of the cartridge media, not just at the surface, so large volumes of contaminant are captured without the sudden pressure rise caused by surface blinding on strainer-style elements.
• Broad Sediment Range: The wind pattern for each micron rating is engineered to give a pre-determined level of filtration, making the family suitable for everything from very fine sediment through to coarse sediment.
• Temperature Use: Designed for use at ambient water temperatures typical of point-of-entry and point-of-use filtration setups.

Why Boshart?

Boshart's 14SWP1 Series string wound cartridges are manufactured from FDA grade polypropylene, giving contractors and plumbers a dependable, code-appropriate media choice across a full range of micron ratings for potable water sediment filtration. The precise diagonal winding process and depth-filtration design help extend cartridge service life by trapping contaminant throughout the media rather than concentrating it at the surface, reducing the frequency of premature pressure drop and cartridge changeouts on the job. Sourced from Canada and packaged 30 per case, the 14SWP1 Series gives plumbing supply houses and installers a consistent, readily stocked lineup of standard 10" filtration cartridges for any sediment level encountered in the field.
