  1. Could you compare the flow rates of the two?
    Thanks.

  2. SMF100J-5 4.25"x9.75" is 5 micron, while FXHSC is 30 or 35 micron. 5 micron well stop smaller particles. You will get 8-10 gal/min.

  3. Reviving an old post, hope someone sees it!

    Thanks for your advice earlier, I bought two (you can't easily wash one without running water, eh?) and am very satisfied.

    Now, how do you wash these? I let it dry out and went at it with a stiff nylon brush but it doesn't seem to do anything. It looks like your run-of-the-mill rust and other particulate. Is there some kind of safe solvent that would break it up?

    Thanks again.

  4. Stiff nylon brush should do the job.
    You can also try:
    - As it's polyester material you can use some general household cleaning solvents
    - Try to backwash with garden hose ( jet water from inside of the cartridge)
    - if nothing helps- buy new one ;)
