The Pentek Big Blue EP-BB/155548-43 9 3/4 inch × 4 1/2 inch High Dirt Holding Capacity Cartridge combines quality and functionality with durability for a lifetime of customer satisfaction. A high porosity design helps prevent the cartridge from plugging before its adsorption capacity is exhausted, maximizing the utilization of the carbon while maintaining low-pressure drop. 

Features:

• Nominal 5-micron rating*
• High dirt-holding capacity maximizes utilization of the carbon block*
• Highly effective bad taste & odor and chlorine taste & odor reduction*

Materials of Construction

• Filter Media: Bonded PAC
• End Caps: Polypropylene
• Inner/Outer Wraps: Polyolefin
• Netting: Polyethylene
• Gaskets: Buna-N

Specifications:

• Maximum Dimensions: 4 5/8" x 9 3/4" (118 mm x 248 mm)
• Micron Rating* (nominal): 5
• Initial ?P (psi)@ Flow Rate (gpm): 4.3 psi @ 2 gpm (0.30 bar @ 7.6 Lpm)
• Chlorine Taste & Odor Reduction @ Flow Rate: >22,000 gallons @ 2 gpm (83,300L @ 7.6 Lpm)

* Based on manufacturer's internal testing

Note:

• The EP cartridges will contain a very small amount of carbon fines (very fine black powder) and a new cartridge after installation should be flushed with sufficient water to remove the fines from your water system before using the water.
• Micron ratings based on 85% or greater removal of given particle size. Data obtained from actual particle counts using AC Fine Test Dust and Latex spheres.
• Estimated capacity using 2ppm free available chlorine (FAC) at continuous flow with greater than 90% reduction.

Warning: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
