How It Works
The WP5BB20P Pentek Dirt Cart filter cartridge operates by channeling water through layers of tightly wound spun poly fiber. This design traps sediment and particulate matter as water flows through, preventing these impurities from entering your water softener or other treatment equipment. By capturing debris early in the filtration process, it helps maintain system efficiency and prevents clogging or damage downstream.
This filter’s 5-micron rating strikes a balance between effective sediment removal and maintaining optimal water flow, making it suitable for residential and light commercial water filtration setups.
