ECP Series

Summary

Product identification

Pentair® Pentek® ECP Series Cartridges are pleated cellulose polyester filter cartridges manufactured from a special formulation of resin-impregnated cellulose and polyester fibers. They are designed to provide high wet strength, high flow rates, and dirt-holding capacity while maintaining extremely low pressure drop.

Key features include:

• Higher wet strength than regular cellulose cartridges.
• Minimal unloading and media migration.
• Nominal 1, 5, 20, 50 micron rating.
• Lengths: 10", 20".
• Replaces Pentek CP and HFCP Series Cartridges.
• Endcap color-coding system for micron ratings:
  • Tan (1 micron)
  • White (5 micron)
  • Blue (20 micron)
  • Yellow (50 micron)

Materials

• Filter Media: Cellulose polyester
• Standard Endcaps: Vinyl plastisol
• Big Blue® Endcaps: Polypropylene
