Pentair Pentek ECP5-10 Sediment Water Filter, 10-Inch, Under Sink Replacement Cartridge, 5 Micron

Pentair Pentek ECP Series Cartridges are manufactured from a special formulation of resin-impregnated cellulose and polyester fibers, providing a higher wet strength than regular cellulose cartridges. This unique blend of materials also offers high flow rates and dirt-holding capacity while maintaining extremely low pressure drop. The media is pleated around a polypropylene core for added strength, and the pleated endcaps of the standard cartridges are immersed in a thermo-setting vinyl plastisol. The Big Blue cartridges have a molded endcap with gaskets, and the pleated ends are sealed to the endcap with a thermoplastic adhesive. The overlap seam is sonically welded to reduce internal bypass, improving filtration efficiency.

ECP Series Cartridge endcaps feature a color-coding system for easy identification of micron ratings: tan (1 micron), white (5 micron), blue (20 micron), and yellow (50 micron). This color-coding system allows for easy replacement, ensuring that the appropriate filter is used for the desired level of filtration.

By removing dirt, sand, silt, and particulates, Pentair Pentek ECP Series Cartridges help keep your water clean and protect your appliances. These cartridges are designed to fit all 10-inch standard housings and can replace any 10-inch by 2.5-inch standard sediment filter cartridge.

One of the key features of the Pentair Pentek ECP Series Cartridges is their longer lifespan. They offer 33% more dirt-holding media than many competitors, resulting in a longer filter life and fewer replacements. Additionally, the unique blend of resin-impregnated cellulose and polyester fibers makes these cartridges stronger than standard cellulose cartridges.

To maintain optimal water quality and protect your plumbing system, it is recommended to replace the Pentair Pentek ECP Series Cartridges every 3 to 6 months, or when you notice a drop in water pressure or quality. The color-coded cap makes it easy to identify the appropriate replacement cartridge, ensuring that you select the correct micron rating for your specific needs.

In conclusion, the Pentair Pentek ECP Series Cartridges offer a reliable and efficient solution for keeping your water clean and protecting your appliances. Their unique blend of materials, high dirt-holding capacity, and color-coded replacement system make them a popular choice for homeowners and water filtration enthusiasts alike.
