Pentair Pentek ECP5-BB Big Blue Sediment Water Filter, 10-Inch, Whole House Pleated Cellulose Polyester Cartridge, 10" x 4.5", White End-Cap, 5 Micron, Pack of 2
Pentair Pentek ECP5-BB Big Blue Sediment Water Filter, 10-Inch, Whole House Pleated Cellulose Polyester Cartridge, 10" x 4.5", White End-Cap, 5 Micron, Pack of 2
The Pentair Pentek ECP5-BB is a 5-micron pleated sediment filter cartridge designed for whole house water filtration in standard 10" x 4.5" Big Blue housings. The filter media is constructed from a blend of resin-impregnated cellulose and polyester fibers, providing higher wet strength than standard cellulose cartridges. The pleated design delivers 18 square feet of filter surface area, extending dirt-holding capacity and filter life compared to non- pleated alternatives.The ECP5-BB features a sonically welded overlap seam that reduces internal bypass for improved filtration efficiency. The cartridge is built around a polypropylene core for added structural strength, with polypropylene endcaps and gaskets for a secure seal. It is compatible with both chlorinated and non-chlorinated water supplies.This cartridge operates at less than 1 psi pressure drop at 20 gpm, with a temperature range of 40-125 degrees F. The white endcap is color-coded for quick 5-micron identification during filter changes. Replace every 3-6 months or when you notice a decrease in water pressure.
