SPECTRUM SWP: 5-inch String Wound Polypropylene Sediment Filter

The SPECTRUM SWP series is the industry-standard "roughing" filter for particulate removal. Engineered with a computer-controlled wound pattern, these filters provide reliable, depth-based sediment capture, trapping particles throughout the entire media rather than just on the surface. This design significantly extends filter life and ensures high-efficiency removal of sand, silt, and rust. As a core pre-filtration solution, the SWP range is the most cost-effective way to protect expensive downstream components—such as UV systems, Reverse Osmosis membranes, and industrial nozzles—from premature fouling.

Why Choose the SPECTRUM SWP Range?

  • Graded Density Construction: The variable wound pattern captures larger particles on the outside and smaller particles deeper within the media, maximizing the dirt-holding capacity.

  • Broad Chemical Compatibility: Constructed from 100% polypropylene media on a polypropylene core, these filters are chemically inert and suitable for a wide range of industrial and manufacturing applications.

  • Versatile Micron Selection: Available from 0.5 to 150 microns, allowing you to tailor your pre-filtration level to your specific water supply (from fine polishing to coarse sediment removal).

  • Proven Reliability: A tried-and-tested design that ensures consistent flow and structural integrity in demanding environments.

String wound filters are generally more robust and offer a "depth-loading" advantage. Because they are wound, they tend to handle high-turbidity water (like well or borehole supply) better than melt-blown filters, which can "blind" (clog) quickly on the outer surface.

No. The SWP range is a mechanical sediment barrier only. It is designed to remove solids. To remove chlorine, VOCs, or chemicals, it should be paired with a carbon-based cartridge in your system sequence.
