Flowmax Jumbo 170 Series Pleated Sediment Filter
High-capacity pleated filtration for whole house and reverse osmosis systems, designed for Model 170 housings with cleanable, reusable media
The Watts FMHC-170-EZ cartridge delivers exceptional dirt-holding capacity through pleated synthetic media with significantly greater surface area than wound or spun alternatives. Designed exclusively for Model 170 jumbo housings, this filter reduces pressure drop while extending service life, lowering both operational costs and replacement frequency across whole house and RO applications.

System Compatibility
The FMHC-170-EZ series is designed exclusively for Watts Model 170 jumbo filter housings and is not compatible with standard 10" or 20" cartridge housings due to its proprietary sizing. Available in 1, 5, 20, 50, and 100 micron ratings to suit whole house sediment filtration, pre-filtration for reverse osmosis systems, and point-of-entry applications requiring high flow capacity. Select micron rating based on sediment load and downstream equipment protection requirements.
