Enhance Water Quality with the NCP-BB Pentek Pleated Carbon Cartridge for Superior Filtration

Experience cleaner, fresher water with the NCP-BB Pentek Pleated Carbon Cart, designed to effectively reduce chlorine taste and odor while protecting your water system. Unlike ordinary filters, this pleated carbon cartridge offers a larger surface area for improved filtration efficiency, making it an essential upgrade for anyone seeking reliable filter cartridges. Trust this component to enhance your water softening setup with consistent performance and durability.

Key Benefits

• Improves taste and odor by effectively removing chlorine and organic contaminants
• Extends the life of your water softener by preventing sediment buildup
• Offers high dirt-holding capacity thanks to pleated carbon media design
• Enhances overall water clarity, contributing to better household water quality
• Easy to install and compatible with standard big blue filter housings for hassle-free replacement

How It Works

The NCP-BB Pentek Pleated Carbon Cartridge operates by passing water through a pleated activated carbon media that traps chlorine, chemicals, and sediment. The pleated design significantly increases the surface area, allowing more contaminants to be captured before water flows downstream. This cartridge fits inside a standard big blue filter housing, making it a vital part of your water treatment system by ensuring cleaner, safer water for daily use.

As water flows through the cartridge, the activated carbon adsorbs impurities, while the pleated structure helps maintain water flow rate and reduces pressure drop, ensuring efficient filtration without compromising system performance.

What to Expect

Upon installation, you will notice an immediate improvement in water taste and clarity as chlorine and odors are reduced. During the first few weeks, the cartridge effectively captures sediments and organic compounds, enhancing water quality throughout your home.

Over time, the pleated carbon media maintains its filtration efficiency while requiring routine replacement based on your water usage and quality. Regular cartridge changes will ensure consistent performance and prevent clogging, keeping your water softener and filtration system operating smoothly.

What’s Inside

• Pleated Activated Carbon Media – Provides extensive surface area to adsorb chlorine and chemical impurities effectively.
• Durable Polypropylene Core – Ensures structural integrity and supports the pleated media under water pressure.
• Protective Outer Wrap – Prevents media migration and improves sediment capture, enhancing overall filtration.

How to Use

1. Turn off the water supply to the filter housing and relieve pressure by opening a faucet downstream.
2. Unscrew the big blue filter housing carefully and remove the old cartridge.
3. Clean the housing interior if necessary, removing sediment or debris.
4. Insert the NCP-BB Pentek Pleated Carbon Cartridge, ensuring it seats properly on the housing base.
5. Reattach and tighten the filter housing securely to prevent leaks.
6. Turn the water supply back on slowly and check for leaks.
7. Flush the system by running water for a few minutes before use to clear any loose carbon fines.
