Summary
Product Identification
The Pentair Pentek ELPC Series Cartridges are premium activated carbon filter cartridges specifically designed for electroplating solutions. These cartridges are made with ultra-clean, highly purified carbon to prevent sulfur leaching into the plating bath and are engineered to ensure no carbon fines bleed into the solution.
Features
- Cellulose-free construction
- Resistant to chemical breakdown in both acidic and alkaline solutions
- Integrated post-filtration layer to ensure no carbon fines are bled into the plating bath
- Endcap gaskets are permanently molded onto the endcaps to ease filter cartridge change-out
- Proprietary Fibredyne™ technology produces a unique block with true depth filtration capability, allowing for maximum treatment with minimal pressure drop.
- 7-micron nominal rating with superior dirt-holding ability.
- Micron ratings are based on 85% or greater removal of a given particle size.
Materials
- Filter Media: Bonded PAC
- Endcaps: Polypropylene
- Netting: Polypropylene
- Gaskets: Santoprene™
Operating Limits
- Temperature Rating: 40-180ºF (4.4-82.2ºC)
Mechanical / Hydraulic
| Model # | Part # | Maximum Dimensions | Rating (Nominal) | Initial Pressure Drop @ Flow Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ELPC-10 | 255668-43 | 2.88" x 10" (73 mm x 254 mm) | 7 micron | 3.4 psi @ 1 gpm (0.23 bar @ 3.8 Lpm) |
| ELPC-20 | 255669-43 | 2.88" x 20" (73 mm x 508 mm) | 7 micron | 3.4 psi @ 2 gpm (0.23 bar @ 7.6 Lpm) |
| ELPC-30 | 255670-43 | 2.88" x 30" (73 mm x 762 mm) | 7 micron | 3.4 psi @ 3 gpm (0.23 bar @ 11.4 Lpm) |
Note: The ELPC-10 will not fit #10 Slim Line® or #10 Standard housings.
Installation Notes
- After installation, a new cartridge should be flushed with sufficient water to remove all traces of carbon fines (very fine black powder) prior to using the water.
Warnings
- Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the unit.
- Estimated capacity using 2 ppm free available chlorine at 0.5 ppm breakthrough.
