Watts-FMHC-40-EZ Flowmax Jumbo 40 Series Pleated Filter

The Watts FMHC-40-EZ Flowmax Jumbo 40 Series Pleated Filter delivers high-flow sediment filtration with lower pressure drop and extended service life compared to conventional spun or wound cartridges. Available in 1, 5, 20, and 50 micron ratings, this jumbo pleated filter handles flow rates up to 30 GPM and fits Watts Model 40 filter housings for whole-house and reverse osmosis pre-filtration applications.

Construction & Performance

Manufacturer Watts
Model Number FMHC-40-EZ
Filter Media Synthetic pleated sediment media, cellulose-free with no additives or binders
Surface Area Greater than wound, spun, or melt-blown filters for extended dirt holding capacity
Serviceability Cleanable and reusable to reduce replacement costs
Pressure Drop Lower than conventional cartridges, allowing smaller housings and reduced equipment costs
Particle Retention Thicker media with increased void space captures and retains more sediment than thin rigid media
COMPATIBILITY & APPLICATIONS

Where This Filter Works

The Watts FMHC-40-EZ is designed exclusively for Watts Model 40 jumbo filter housings and serves as an excellent sediment pre-filter for whole-house water filtration systems and reverse osmosis installations. The proprietary sizing ensures a secure fit in Model 40 housings. Choose 50 or 20 micron ratings for heavy sediment loads or well water applications, 5 micron for general residential pre-filtration, or 1 micron for fine sediment removal ahead of RO membranes and sensitive equipment. The cleanable, reusable design extends service intervals and reduces operating costs in high-sediment environments.

💧 Pro tip: Pleated filters offer significantly more surface area than spun polypropylene cartridges, which means longer life and fewer pressure drop issues. If you're replacing cartridges more than once every few months, upgrading to this Flowmax pleated design will reduce maintenance frequency and improve flow consistency across the service cycle.
