High-Quality Pentek Pleated Cellulose Filter Cartridge for Superior Sediment Removal

When it comes to maintaining clean and clear water in your home or business, the ECP5-20BB Pentek Pleated Cellulose 5 Micron Filter Cartridge stands out as a reliable and efficient solution. Designed specifically for sediment filtration, this filter cartridge effectively traps fine particles and protects your water treatment system from clogging and damage. Its pleated cellulose media ensures enhanced dirt-holding capacity, making it a trusted choice among filter cartridges for lasting performance.

Key Benefits

• Protects your water system by efficiently removing sediment down to 5 microns
• Extends the lifespan of your plumbing and appliances by preventing sediment buildup
• Improves water clarity and quality for safer, cleaner water usage
• High dirt-holding capacity reduces filter replacement frequency
• Compatible with standard 4 x 20" filter housings for easy installation
• Durable pleated cellulose design resists tearing and deformation

How It Works

The Pentek ECP5-20BB filter cartridge employs pleated cellulose media to trap sediment, dirt, and rust particles suspended in your water supply. As water passes through the pleats, contaminants larger than 5 microns are captured on the filter surface while clean water flows through. This filtration process helps prevent sediment from entering your plumbing system, appliances, and water softeners, ensuring efficient operation and reducing maintenance needs.

Its pleated design increases the surface area available for filtration, allowing the cartridge to hold more sediment before requiring replacement. This makes it a practical choice for both residential and light commercial water treatment setups.

What to Expect

After installing the ECP5-20BB filter cartridge, you will notice improved water clarity almost immediately as sediment and particulate matter are effectively removed. Within the first few days to weeks, your water system will experience smoother flow and less wear on downstream equipment.

Over time, the cartridge’s pleated cellulose structure maintains filtration efficiency by evenly distributing trapped particles throughout the media. Regular monitoring and timely replacement will ensure consistent performance and help avoid clogging or pressure drops in your system.

What’s Inside

• Pleated Cellulose Media – Provides high surface area for effective sediment capture and durability
• Polypropylene Core – Ensures structural integrity and prevents filter collapse under pressure
• End Caps – Secure the media in place and fit snugly in standard 4 x 20" filter housings

How to Use

1. Turn off the water supply to the filter housing before beginning installation.
2. Relieve any pressure in the system by opening a faucet downstream of the filter.
3. Unscrew the filter housing carefully and remove the used filter cartridge.
