This Hydronix SWC-45-2001 string wound filter is made of polypropylene fiber cord, has a particle retention size of 1 micron, and is used in a water filtration system. This filter has an outside diameter (OD) of 4.5" and overall length of 20". It is made of polypropylene fiber cord which can be sterilized, has dimensional stability, and is resistance to most chemicals. Polypropylene filters are useful in residential and commercial applications for reducing scale particles, dirt, rust, sand and silt in water. This filter can withstand temperatures ranging from 40 to 165 degrees F. This string-wound filter is suitable for use in water filtration systems including residential and commercial applications that use well and municipal water sources.

Water filters remove undesirable particles, chemicals, and microorganisms from water by means of a semipermeable barrier, adsorption, or biological processes. They are made of densely packed synthetic or natural fibers that trap suspended particles, materials that block microbes or adsorb unwanted chemicals, or substances that cause a chemical change, such as acid neutralization. For most residential, commercial, and industrial applications, water filters are manufactured in the form of replaceable cartridges that fit inside permanent housings. Filtration systems typically consist of a series of two or more types of filters, each designed to remove different contaminants. The performance of filters is measured by the minimum particle size that is blocked, the percentage of particles or microorganisms that are removed, the downstream concentration of unwanted chemicals, the maximum flow rate, and the amount of water that can be filtered before the filter must be replaced. Water filters are used in a wide range of applications, including drinking water purification, swimming pools, industrial processes, and irrigation, among others.
