Description

Reliable Pentek Radial Flow Cartridge for Superior Water Filtration and System Protection

The RFC20-BB Pentek Radial Flow Cart 20 Big Blue cartridge is designed to address common issues like sediment buildup and water contamination in filtration systems. Unlike standard filters, this cartridge offers efficient radial flow technology that maximizes surface area and extends filter life. Ideal for applications requiring dependable filter cartridges and housings, it ensures your water treatment setup remains clean, efficient, and hassle-free.

Key Benefits

  • Protects your water system from sediment and particulate buildup for longer equipment lifespan
  • Enhances filtration efficiency with radial flow design, reducing pressure drop
  • Compatible with standard 20-inch Big Blue housings for easy integration
  • Durable construction supports consistent performance under varied operating conditions
  • Reduces maintenance frequency by capturing more contaminants before clogging
  • Supports clearer, cleaner water output for improved system safety and user satisfaction

How It Works

This Pentek radial flow cartridge functions by directing water through its specially designed filter media in a radial pattern. This increases the surface area exposed to water, allowing the cartridge to capture more sediment and particulates compared to conventional axial flow filters. As water passes through, contaminants are trapped within the cartridge, preventing them from entering your water system and causing damage or inefficiency.

Installed inside a compatible 20-inch Big Blue housing, the RFC20-BB ensures that your water treatment system maintains optimal flow rates while delivering high-quality filtration performance.

What to Expect

Once installed, you’ll immediately notice improved water clarity as the filter cartridge efficiently removes sediment and other impurities. During the first few weeks, the cartridge will continue to capture particles without significant pressure loss, supporting smooth system operation. Over time, its radial flow design helps distribute contaminants evenly, reducing the need for early replacement and minimizing downtime for maintenance.

With proper use, this cartridge offers reliable filtration performance over extended periods, making it a practical choice for residential or commercial water systems that demand consistent, high-quality water treatment.

What’s Inside

  • Radial Flow Filter Media – maximizes filtration surface area for enhanced contaminant capture
  • Durable Polypropylene Core – provides robust structural support for stable filtration under pressure
  • Big Blue Compatible Dimensions – ensures seamless fit within standard 20-inch housings
  • High-Quality Seal Gasket – prevents leaks and maintains system integrity during operation

How to Use

  1. Turn off the water supply to the filter housing before beginning installation.
  2. Relieve pressure by opening a nearby faucet or using the pressure release valve on the housing.
  3. Unscrew the Big Blue housing carefully and remove the old filter cartridge.
  4. Insert the RFC20-BB Pentek Radial Flow Cartridge into the housing, ensuring proper alignment.
  5. Check the gasket for any debris and ensure it is seated correctly to prevent leaks.
  6. Screw the housing back onto the filter head securely by hand, avoiding overtightening.
  7. Turn the water supply back on and check for leaks before resuming normal use.
