Which GPM rating uses 18 filters and 18 canisters?

• A. 50-GPM
• B. 100-GPM
• C. 350-GPM
• D. 600-GPM FS

Answer: (C)

Understanding how filtration capacity ties to hardware helps here. The 350-GPM FS configuration is built with a specific stack of 18 filter elements housed in 18 canisters. That exact arrangement is what lets it meet the 350-GPM flow while keeping filtration performance consistent. The smaller flow rates are achieved with fewer filters and canisters, so they don’t use the same 18/18 setup, and a much higher rate would require more elements or a different design. So the rating that uses 18 filters and 18 canisters is the 350-GPM FS.
