Jumbo Cartridges

and Housing

Whole House Water Treatment
and Commercial Filtration

Ideal for whole house water treatment and commercial filtration
with optional activated carbon cartridge to remove chlorine bad
tastes, foul odors and sediment.

Rugged Construction

Filter housings are made of rugged, glass-reinforced polypro­pylene with brass reinforced gauge port so they won’t chip,
rust or dent.

Low Cost

Watts Jumber filters are an economical alternative to costly
stainless steel filtration equipment.

Applications

Watts® Jumbo Cartridges are ideal for a wide range of
applications, including:

• Whole house filtration

• Commercial filtration

• Industrial filtration

• Pre-filtration for reverse osmosis equipment

• Community water systems

• Sea water applications due to their non-corrosive

construction

• Ideal replacement for bag filters

• A convenient alternative to multiple cartridge filters

• Water for livestock and poultry

Conserves Water!

Watts Jumbo Cartridge Filter Systems are 100% efficient
because no backwashing is required. Valuable water is con-

served with no waste.

* For applications where non-metallic construction is required,

order lid without brass reinforced gauge port separately.

Note: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or

of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after

the system.

Three Cartridge Types

• Pleated, for flow rates up to 150 GPM using 100% cellulose
free media (5 micron and up are cleanable).

• Low cost Melt Blown for depth filtration.

PWWJCP

• Activated carbon removes chlorine tastes, odors and sedi­ment. Ideal for whole house treatment to 15 GPM offering
140,000 gallon capacity.

Pleated Cartridges

Ideal for more critical applications, offering greater efficiency, more surface area for greater
throughput and reduced cost.
