Urbans Aqua Filter Cartridges are manufactured by Filtration Products.
Cartridge Types
Pleated Cartridges
- Pleated filter cartridges will filter down to 50 microns or as low as 0.2, 0.4 or 0.5 microns.
- PTFE membrane can be used to remove endotoxins.
- Pleated cartridges are like an accordion. The tighter the pleat the greater the capacity to filter.
- Pleated cartridges are more costly. There are support layers, plastisol end capes, and gaskets or o-rings.
- Greater surface area for superior filtration.

Carbon Cartridges
- Carbon Block & GAC Cartridges
- Filtration Parts extrudes carbon blocks.
- Carbon block vs. loose or granular activated carbon cartridges (GAC)
- Standard GAC filter cartridges contain 12×40 mesh activated carbon. Typical carbon block is contains 80×325 mesh activated carbon. The surface area of carbon block cartridges reduces the contact time required. Keep in mind that what you gain in kinetics you lose in flow rate.
- Carbon block cartridges should have pre-filtration (sediment) to prevent premature clogging.
- Carbon blocks are ideal for refrigerator applications.
- Custom carbon blocks – custom formulations are possible – e.g. arsenic or metals reduction. Contact Urbans Aqua for more information.

Melt Blown Cartridges
- Melt blown filter cartridges are produced by melting polypropylene then blowing a thick layer of polypropylene on a spinning rod.
- Benefits of melt blown cartridges:
- Knife edge seals
- Superior sediment filtration of different particle sizes due to depth loading.
- Competitive price.
- Filtration Parts uses 3 to 4 different dies or zones in the manufacture of their cartridges. This segregates the micron rating.
- Dual Gradient (DGD) filter cartridges are typically comprised of 2 zones 50/05. It is possible to create a cartridge that has 4 zones. The outside of the cartridge starts at 50-micron, second layer is 20-micron, third layer is 5-micron and final layer is 1-micron.
- Disadvantages
- Max temperature of 180°F.
- Not compatible with slimy, or filmy fluids.
- Surface area vs. a pleated filter is considerably less.
- A pleated 2.5×10” filter is about 5 square feet of surface area vs. about 1 square foot.

String Wound Cartridges
- String can be cotton, nylon, rayon, polyester, polypropylene, fiberglass
- Each type has their own niche in the market.
- Cotton is used for high temperature applications.
- Nylon and rayon are used where chemical resistance is required.
- Polyester is used for oil absorbance.
Understanding Nominal vs. Absolute
- When evaluating the best “nominal” rated cartridge it is important to know its efficiency.
- If it’s a 5-micron cartridge with an efficiency of 50% it will filter to 5-micron only half the time. A 5-micron absolute cartridge filter will filter to 5-micron 99.99% of the time.
- Absolute rated cartridges are very expensive and specific to certain applications. Contact Urbans Aqua for information and pricing.
