Summary

Product identification

NCP Series Non-Cellulose Carbon-Impregnated Pleated Cartridges.

These cartridges are constructed from a carbon-impregnated non-cellulose media, providing both sediment filtration and chlorine taste and odor reduction. They feature a pleated design for maximum dirt-loading capacity and minimal pressure drop. The non-cellulose media resists bacterial attack, making them suitable for municipal and non-chlorinated water applications, as well as post reverse osmosis and well water applications.

Available models include:

  • NCP-10
  • NCP-BB
  • NCP-20
  • NCP-20BB

Operating limits

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

Feed water

  • Chlorine taste and odor reduction is based on greater than 50% reduction using 2 ppm free chlorine feed concentration at 68ºF (20ºC) at continuous flow.

Mechanical / hydraulic

  • Micron Rating (nominal): 10 micron (for all models)
  • Filtration efficiency and chlorine taste and odor reduction efficiency are reduced at higher flow rates.
  • Sediment Reduction Percent Efficiency: See the official PDF for exact tabulated values, as the graph is unreadable.
