Pentair Pentek WP.5BB97P Big Blue Sediment Water Filter, Whole House Polypropylene String-Wound Filter Cartridge, 0.5 Micron

Pentair Pentek WP-BB Series Cartridges are designed to provide an economical solution for reducing fine sediment, including rust, sand, and scale particles. These cartridges are manufactured in 10" and 20" lengths, with a 4.5" diameter, and are constructed from a durable polypropylene string wound around a rigid polypropylene core.

The material used in the WP-BB Cartridges is a fibrous polypropylene media that is wound in a precise pattern around a polypropylene core, providing a greater surface area to maintain high flow rates. This string-wound construction allows the cartridges to withstand temperatures up to 165°F (73.9°C) and accommodate flow rates between 10 and 65 GPM with minimal pressure drop.

The WP-BB Cartridges are manufactured using an anti-static agent during the winding process to reduce the electrical charges produced during this process. This can help to mitigate any foaming that may occur during the start-up of a new cartridge.

These Pentair Pentek WP-BB Series Cartridges are suitable for a wide range of sediment applications, including municipal and well water, as well as various industrial fluids. They are designed to keep your water clean and protect your appliances by removing dirt, sand, silt, and other particulates.

The WP-BB Cartridges are compatible with all 10" Big Blue housings and can replace any 10" x 4.5" sediment filter. Their high dirt-catching capacity and flow rates make them an economical solution for maintaining water quality in a variety of settings.

In summary, the Pentair Pentek WP-BB Series Cartridges are a versatile and durable option for water filtration, providing an effective and affordable way to remove fine sediment from your water supply and protect your equipment.
