Overview
Overview
Cartridge length × outside diameter: Approximately 9.75 × 2.5 inches. Retained store dimensions; not independently measured. Nominal size classes may differ from measured end-to-end dimensions.
FT-FTC-50 is the 50-micron element identified in Spectra’s filter chart. The chart lists it separately from the 5- and 20-micron elements and from the carbon cartridge.
The 50-micron rating identifies a filtration grade; it is not a chlorine-removal specification. Match the installed cartridge number and the filter stage specified by the system manual.
The separately listed FT-FTC-50BB is a Big Blue cartridge. A shared micron number alone does not establish the same physical fit.
