What to check before you order
This page does not say this cartridge works in any particular housing or swaps for any other brand's part. Compare these first:
- Housing size. 2.5" x 40". Make sure your housing takes 2.5"-diameter cartridges.
- End style. This cartridge has plastisol end caps that also act as the gasket. If your housing needs a spring, fin, or O-ring end, tell us.
- Flow. The manufacturer lists a 1 psi initial pressure drop at 20 gpm. Compare that with your system's flow per cartridge.
- Temperature. Rated to 125 °F, which is lower than the polypropylene SDC and SWC cartridges in the same size.
- Certification. If your spec requires NSF/ANSI 61 or 42, put it in your request.
Same size, different media: SWC-25-4005 (string-wound) and SDC-25-4005 (depth). See the spec comparison guide.
Where it's used
The manufacturer describes SPC cartridges as durable, washable and reusable pleated cartridges with good dirt-holding capacity to extend the time between change-outs. (Source: SPC Series catalog text.) The catalog also carries this warning: do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
FAQ
- What's the difference between pleated and depth cartridges?
- A pleated cartridge folds a thin media into many pleats, which gives it more surface area. A depth cartridge traps particles through a thick wall. Which works better depends on your water and your system. Our comparison guide explains the trade-offs.
- What size is SPC-25-4005?
- 2.5" diameter x 40" long.
- How many per case?
- 20.
- Is it NSF certified?
- Tell us which standard your specification requires. We check certification against the manufacturer's listing for the exact part number, and we don't assume it from the product series.
- Is it reusable?
- The manufacturer calls the SPC Series washable and reusable. Whether reuse is allowed at your site is your call and depends on your procedures.
- Can I send another brand's part number instead?
- Yes. Send us the part number and we'll tell you what we can supply against it.
