Overview
FT-FTC-5 captures sediment in the feed water before it reaches downstream watermaker components. It is a replacement pleated polyester element for the documented 5-micron pre-filter stage.
Replace a dirty element according to the system manual and operating conditions. Spectra’s current guidance recommends replacement with a new element; this page does not recommend washing and reusing it.

FAQs
FAQs
Does this filter remove salt?
No. This is a sediment pre-filter. The reverse-osmosis membrane performs desalination.
How often should I replace it?
Follow your system manual and the condition of the element. Feed-water quality and use affect how quickly it loads with sediment; a single interval does not suit every installation.
