Pentair Pentek ECP20-20BB Whole House Sediment Water Filter Replacement Cartridge

Pentair Pentek ECP Series Cartridges are manufactured using a unique formulation of resin-impregnated cellulose and polyester fibers. This distinctive blend of materials provides a higher wet strength compared to regular cellulose cartridges. It also offers high flow rates and impressive dirt-holding capacity, all while maintaining an extremely low-pressure drop. The media is pleated around a polypropylene core, which adds to the overall strength of the cartridges.

The standard cartridges feature pleated endcaps that are immersed in a thermo-setting vinyl plastisol, while the Big Blue cartridges have a molded endcap with gaskets. The pleated ends are sealed to the endcap using a thermoplastic adhesive, and the overlap seam is sonically welded to reduce internal bypass, thereby improving filtration efficiency.

The ECP Series Cartridge endcaps incorporate a color-coding system for easy identification of micron ratings: tan (1 micron), white (5 micron), blue (20 micron), and yellow (50 micron). This feature allows for straightforward replacement and ensures the appropriate filtration level is maintained.

One of the key benefits of these Pentair Pentek ECP Series Cartridges is their ability to keep your water clean and protect your appliances by removing dirt, sand, silt, and particulates. They are designed to fit all 20" Big Blue housings and can replace any 20" x 4.5" heavy-duty sediment filter cartridge.

Another noteworthy advantage is the longer life of these cartridges, as they have 33% more dirt-holding media than many of their competitors. This translates to a more extended service life, reducing the frequency of replacement.

Furthermore, these cartridges are stronger than standard cellulose cartridges, thanks to their unique blend of resin-impregnated cellulose and polyester. This makes them a more durable and reliable choice for water filtration.

To ensure optimal performance and water quality, it is recommended to replace the Pentair Pentek ECP Series Cartridges every 6 months or when you notice a drop in water pressure or quality. The color-coded cap makes it easy to identify the correct replacement cartridge, simplifying the maintenance process.

In summary, the Pentair Pentek ECP Series Cartridges offer a superior water filtration solution, combining advanced materials, innovative design, and enhanced performance. By keeping your water clean and protecting your appliances, these cartridges provide a reliable and convenient way to maintain the quality of your water supply.
