NPF-BB-20-20 Nelsen Dirt Cartridge: Superior Sediment Filtration for Cleaner Water Systems

Designed to tackle sediment and particulate contamination efficiently, the NPF-BB-20-20 Nelsen Dirt Cartridge offers a reliable solution for maintaining optimal water quality in your system. Unlike generic filter cartridges, this 20-micron pleated cartridge ensures enhanced dirt-holding capacity and longer service life, making it an essential component in any filter cartridge setup aiming for consistent water clarity and system protection.

Key Benefits

• Protects your water treatment system from sediment buildup, extending the lifespan of downstream components.
• Delivers high dirt retention with its 20-micron pleated design, improving filtration efficiency.
• Maintains consistent water flow rates by minimizing clogging and pressure drops.
• Easy to install and replace, reducing maintenance time and system downtime.
• Compatible with standard 20-inch big blue filter housings for versatile application.
• Constructed with durable materials to withstand typical water pressures and operational conditions.

How It Works

The NPF-BB-20-20 cartridge functions as a sediment filter within your water filtration system by capturing dirt, sand, rust, and other particulate matter down to 20 microns. As water flows through the pleated polypropylene media, contaminants are trapped on the surface and within the folds of the cartridge, preventing them from reaching sensitive appliances or treatment components downstream.

This process helps maintain system efficiency by reducing wear and tear caused by sediment and ensures cleaner water output for household or commercial use. Its big blue (BB) size fits securely in standard filter housings, making it a convenient upgrade or replacement option.

What to Expect

Upon installation, you’ll notice clearer water with reduced turbidity as sediment is effectively filtered out. In the first days and weeks, the cartridge will capture fine particles that might have previously caused discoloration or sediment deposits.

Over longer use, expect consistent filtration performance with minimal pressure loss, provided routine replacement schedules are followed. Regularly changing the cartridge helps maintain optimal water flow and prolongs the life of your overall water treatment system.

What’s Inside

• 20-Micron Pleated Polypropylene Media – Offers high dirt-holding capacity and efficient sediment removal.
• Polypropylene Core – Provides strength and structural support to prevent collapse under pressure.
• Big Blue (BB) Standard Dimensions – Ensures compatibility with common 20-inch filter housings used in water softener and filtration systems.
• Sealed End Caps – Prevents bypass and ensures all water passes through the filter media for maximum effectiveness.

How to Use

1. Turn off the water supply to the filter housing where the cartridge will be installed.
2. Release pressure by opening a downstream faucet or using the housing’s pressure release button if available.
3. Unscrew the filter housing carefully and remove the old cartridge if present.
4. Insert the NPF-BB-20-20 cartridge, ensuring it is seated properly within the housing.
5. Check and replace O-rings if necessary to maintain a secure seal.
6. Screw the housing back on tightly by hand, avoiding over-tightening.
7. Turn the water supply back on and check for leaks.
8. Flush the system by running water for a few minutes to remove any loose particles before regular use.
