Product Description
Pentair Pentek ECP Series Cartridges are manufactured from a special formulation of resin-impregnated cellulose and polyester fibers. This unique blend of materials provides a higher wet strength than regular cellulose cartridges. It also provides high flow rates and dirt-holding capacity while maintaining extremely low pressure drop. The media is pleated around a polypropylene core for added strength. The pleated endcaps of the standard cartridges are immersed in a thermo-setting vinyl plastisol. The Big Blue cartridges have a molded endcap with gaskets. The pleated ends are sealed to the endcap with a thermoplastic adhesive. The overlap seam is sonically welded to reduce internal bypass, improving filtration efficiency. ECP Series Cartridge endcaps feature a color-coding system for easy identification of micron ratings: tan (1 micron), white (5 micron), blue (20 micron), and yellow (50 micron)

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
NOT for use on non-chlorinated water. Its not noted here, but it is on the packaging, that the cellulose doesn't get along well with some bacteria that is present in non-chlorinated water supplies, such as my well. I went ahead and tried it anyways.
It traps the sediment well, however, in my specific case, my water began to stink after a couple of weeks, and got to the point that I couldn't take it anymore. I changed to a staged non-cellulose filter, and my water no longer smells.
This has helped remove the iron in the water, which was causing white surfaces to become tinged with red (toilets, showers, sinks, etc.) Not that the items were dirty, just the iron staining things.
Photos of the after affects and the filter set-up. It is 2 BB-20 filter housings with the pleated paper first then a charcoal filter to remove some other 'stuff' from the water.
