Franklin 5 Micron Filtration in a High Flow, High Capacity CBC Filter

The FWCB20B05 is built for performance in demanding conditions, offering 5 micron filtration in a full 4.5" x 20" form factor. Its large capacity and premium coconut shell carbon composition enable excellent removal of chlorine, taste, and odor across a wide variety of water qualities.

Capable of handling over 120,000 gallons at a steady 4 gpm, this cartridge supports commercial and residential point-of-entry systems where high flow and longevity are essential. The dense carbon matrix also captures sediment, helping extend system lifespan and protect downstream components.

With an initial pressure drop of just 4.0 psid at rated flow, this unit balances performance with efficiency. The durable build and consistent performance make it an ideal upgrade for high-demand installations across food service, industrial, or large household systems.
