ECP Series Pleated Cellulose Polyester Cartridges

Summary

Product identification

The ECP Series Pleated Cellulose Polyester Cartridges are designed to replace CP and HFCP Series cartridges. They are manufactured from a special formulation of resin-impregnated cellulose and polyester fibers. This unique blend provides higher wet strength, high flow rates, and excellent dirt-holding capacity, while maintaining a very low pressure drop.

Key features include:

• Higher wet strength than regular cellulose cartridges.
• Minimal unloading and media migration.
• High flow rates and dirt-holding capacity.
• Extremely low pressure drop.

Materials of Construction

• Media: Cellulose Polyester
• Core: Polypropylene
• Endcaps: Vinyl Plastisol

The media is pleated around a polypropylene core for strength. The ends are immersed in a thermo-setting vinyl plastisol, which fuses the components into a unified endcap and gasket.

Operating limits

• Temperature Rating: 40–125ºF (4.4–51.7ºC)

WARNING: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

Cartridge Specifications and Performance Data

Media Surface Area: ECP cartridges offer more media surface area compared to many competitive cartridges.

• Standard 10-inch ECP cartridge: 6 ft² (compared to most competitive cartridges with 4.5 ft²)
• Standard 20-inch cartridge: 12 ft²
• 10-inch BB cartridge: 18 ft²
• 20-inch BB cartridge: 36 ft²

Endcap Color-Coding for Micron Ratings:

• Tan: 1-micron
• White: 5-micron
• Blue: 20-micron
• Yellow: 50-micron

See the official PDF for exact tabulated values, which include:

• Model
• Endcap Color
• Maximum Dimensions (e.g., 2⅝" x 9¾" (67mm x 248mm) for standard 10-inch, 4½" x 9¾" (114mm x 248mm) for 10-inch BB)
• Micron Rating (Nominal) (1, 5, 20, 50 micron)
• Initial ∆P (psi) @ Flow Rate (gpm) (e.g., <1 psi @ 10 gpm for standard models, <1 psi @ 20 gpm for BB models)
