CRE-1 Ceramic

Summary

Product identification

• Product Name: Pentair® Pentek® CRE-1 Ceramic Cartridge
• Model #: CRE-1
• Part #: 155159-43
• Description: Manufactured from a sintered ceramic filtration media, designed for the reduction of small particles and fine sediment filtration.
• Filter Media: Sintered Ceramic
• Features:
  • Fine ceramic media traps impurities down to 1 micron in diameter.
  • Nominal 1 micron rating.
  • 1/2" thick ceramic wall allows for many cleanings, extending cartridge life.
  • Knife-edge seal prevents water bypass.

Operating limits

• Temperature Rating: 40-125°F (4.4-51.7°C)

Feed water

• Caution: Do not use where water is microbiologically unsafe or with water of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
• Note: Not for residential sale in the state of California.

Product water

• Filtration Rating (Nominal):
  • Effectively traps dirt, sediment, and small particles down to 1 micron in diameter.
  • 3-4 micron @ 99.95% (Based on manufacturer's internal testing.)
• Intended Use: Specifically designed for sediment filtration and the reduction of Giardia and Cryptosporidium cysts, not to kill or filter bacteria.

Mechanical / hydraulic

• Maximum Dimensions: 1.88" x 9.75" (48 mm x 248 mm)
• Lengths: 10"
• Initial ΔP (Differential Pressure): 19 psi @ 1 gpm (1.3 bar @ 3.8 Lpm)
• Materials of Construction:
  • Filter Media: Sintered Ceramic
  • Endcaps: Thermoset Polymeric
  • Gaskets: Buna-N

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Cartridges are easily cleaned with water and a damp cloth, sponge, or stiff nylon brush. They can be cleaned several times until the diameter at the smallest point is 1-1⁄2" or the circumference is 4-3⁄4".
• Handling: Sharp blows, dropping, or freezing can cause cracks in the ceramic. Discard and replace if cracked or frozen.
