Pentek ECP20-20BB Big Blue Sediment Water Filter for Whole House

The Pentair Pentek ECP Series Cartridges are manufactured using a unique blend of resin-impregnated cellulose and polyester fibers, which provides a higher wet strength compared to regular cellulose cartridges. This distinctive formulation 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, adding strength and durability.

The standard cartridges feature pleated endcaps that are immersed in a thermo-setting vinyl plastisol, while the Big Blue cartridges have molded endcaps with gaskets. The pleated ends are sealed to the endcaps using a thermoplastic adhesive, and the overlap seam is sonically welded to reduce internal bypass, thereby enhancing 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 users to quickly select the appropriate cartridge for their specific needs.

By removing dirt, sand, silt, and particulates, these cartridges help keep your water clean and protect your appliances. They are compatible with all 20" Big Blue housings and can replace any 20" x 4.5" heavy-duty sediment filter cartridge.

Compared to many competitors, the ECP Series Cartridges boast a 33% greater dirt-holding media capacity, resulting in a longer lifespan. Additionally, their unique blend of materials makes them stronger than standard cellulose cartridges, ensuring reliable performance.

To maintain optimal water quality and pressure, it is recommended to replace the ECP Series Cartridges every 6 months or when a noticeable drop in water pressure or quality is observed. The color-coded caps on the cartridges provide a convenient visual reference for easy replacement.

In summary, the Pentair Pentek ECP Series Cartridges offer exceptional performance, enhanced dirt-holding capacity, and superior strength, all while featuring a user-friendly color-coding system for effortless identification and replacement. These cartridges are designed to keep your water clean and your appliances protected, ensuring a reliable and efficient filtration solution.
