Product Description

Pentair Pentek P5-20 Sediment Water Filter Cartridge, 20-Inch Whole House Spun-Bonded Polypropylene, 20" x 2.5", 5 Micron, NSF Certified Gradient Density

KEEP YOUR WATER CLEANER - The nominal 5 micron spun-bonded polypropylene media reduces dirt, sand, silt, scale, and rust particles, helping keep your water cleaner and helping protect appliances, plumbing, and downstream filters.
TRUE GRADIENT DENSITY - Pure 100% polypropylene fibers are spun into a true gradient density from the outer to inner surfaces, trapping larger particles outside and finer particles deeper for high dirt-holding capacity.
NSF CERTIFIED MATERIALS - Tested and certified by NSF International to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for material requirements; the pure polypropylene construction will not impart taste, odor, or color to filtered water.
FITS ALL 20-INCH STANDARD HOUSINGS - This drop-in 20" x 2.5" cartridge fits standard 20-inch housings and works with both municipal chlorinated and well non-chlorinated water supplies.
LOW PRESSURE DROP DESIGN - Initial pressure drop is just 0.6 psi at 10 gpm across a 40 to 145 degrees F range; replace the cartridge when you notice a drop in water pressure or water quality.

This Pentek P5-20 spun polypropylene filter cartridge reduces sand, silt, scale, and rust particles in residential, commercial, and municipal drinking water. It has a nominal filtration rating of 5 microns at an efficiency of 85%. The filter is made of spun polypropylene fibers for resistance to chemicals and bacteria. It has an initial pressure drop of 0.6 pound per square inch (psi) at a flow rate of 10 gallons per minute (gpm), and operates over a temperature range of 40 to 145 degrees F (4.4 to 62.8 degrees C). This spun polypropylene filter cartridge meets National Sanitation Foundation/American National Standards Institute (NSF/ANSI) standard 42 for quality assurance, and is used for treatment of residential, commercial, and municipal drinking water.

The nominal filtration rating is for a particle removal efficiency of 85%.

H is height, the vertical distance from lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.

Water filters remove undesirable particles, chemicals, and microorganisms from water by means of a semipermeable barrier, adsorption, or biological processes. They are made of densely packed synthetic or natural fibers that trap suspended particles, materials that block microbes or adsorb unwanted chemicals, or substances that cause a chemical change, such as acid neutralization. For most residential, commercial, and industrial applications, water filters are manufactured in the form of replaceable cartridges that fit inside permanent housings. Filtration systems typically consist of a series of two or more types of filters, each designed to remove different contaminants. The performance of filters is measured by the minimum particle size that is blocked, the percentage of particles or microorganisms that are removed, the downstream concentration of unwanted chemicals, the maximum flow rate, and the amount of water that can be filtered before the filter must be replaced. Water filters are used in a wide range of applications, including drinking water purification, swimming pools, industrial processes, and irrigation, among others.

Pentair manufactures industrial, commercial, and residential water filtration components and systems. The company, founded in 1966 and headquartered in Minneapolis, MN, meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards 9001 and 14001 for quality assurance.
