Franklin Granular Activated Carbon Series
Franklin Granular Activated Carbon Series
FWGC Series Cartridges remove chlorine, organics, color, tannin, and objectionable
tastes and odors from water. Offered in standard 10” & 20” sizes, our GAC filter cartridge
can be used with most standard filter housings and as replacements in existing systems
or assemblies. FWGC filters can be used as pretreatment or post treatment to residential
and commercial RO systems, or as a stand-alone point of use (POU) water treatment
solution for clean, fresh tasting drinking water.
The construction of the cartridge allows water to enter at one end and pass through the
entire length of the carbon bed before exiting the other end of the cartridge, while an internal expansion pad minimizes channeling or bypass.
FWGC Carbon Filters Significantly Reduce the Following Contaminants:
- Chlorine
- Chlorine By-Products - Trihalomethanes (THMs): A Group of organic chemicals
suspected of being carcinogenic. - Bad Tastes & Odors
- Turbidity (Cloudy Water)
- Herbicides, Pesticides, & Insecticides
- Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs): Organic Chemicals
that turn into vapor.

Based on manufacturer’s internal testing. NOTES: Cartridges may contain a very small amount of carbon fines (very fine black powder). After installation, follow the instructions for flushing the cartridge to remove the fines before using the water. You should flush the tap at least 20 seconds prior to using water for drinking or cooking purposes. This is particularly important if the tap has not been used daily. Chlorine reduction is estimated capacity using 2ppm free available chlorine (FAC) at continuous flow with greater than 75% reduction.
