Summary

Product identification

Pentair® Pentek® WP Series Cartridges are polypropylene string-wound cartridges designed to reduce fine sediment, including sand, silt, rust, and scale particles. They feature a polypropylene cord wound around a rigid polypropylene core with a precise pattern to provide a greater surface area, leading to higher dirt loading capacity and efficiency.

These cartridges are suitable for a wide variety of sediment filtration applications, including municipal and well water, as well as many industrial fluids.
