Q How are FilmTecTM elements packaged and shipped?

A FilmTec elements are shipped as either dry or wet. All elements are bagged and sealed in polyethylene bags and then boxed for
shipping. For wet elements, they are bagged and sealed in a durable, oxygen-barrier composite plastic bag to retain the integrity of
the shipping solution (1.0 % sodium bisulfite). It is recommended that the shipping solution is checked after 6 months to ensure its
efficacy.

8-inch elements (8-inches in diameter and 40-inches long) are individually boxed and shipped on 44" x 45" pallets:

5 to a pallet = 44" x 45" x 13"

10 to a pallet = 44" x 45" x 22.5"
15 to a pallet = 44" x 45" x 32"
20 to a pallet = 44" x 45" x 41"

4-inch (4-inches in diameter and 40-inches long) are also individually boxed and shipped on 44" x 45" pallets.
2.5-inch (2.5-inches in diameter and 40-inches long) elements are shipped in boxes or crates. These elements are not individually
boxed.

A crate measuring 44" x 45" x 20" will hold 144 2.5-inch elements.
A crate measuring 44" x 45" x 29" will hold 192 2.5-inch elements.

8-inch elements and home drinking water elements (less than 2-inches in diameter) can be double-stacked.
2.5 elements in crates cannot be double-stacked.

Basic truck sizes are 24', 48' and 53' long, and they fit 24 pallets double-stacked, 48 pallets double-stacked and 52 pallets double-
stacked respectively. The pallets weigh 40 lbs.
