Pentek BP-420-5 Polypropylene Felt Filter Bag, 18" x 4", 5 Microns, Pack of 20

This Pentek BP-420-5 polypropylene felt filter bag reduces sand, silt, scale, and rust particles in residential and commercial drinking water and industrial fluid applications. It has a nominal filtration rating of 5 microns at an efficiency of 85%. This filter is made of two polypropylene felt layers on a supporting scrim with thermal glazing of the outer surface for high solids loading capacity and reduced fiber migration. Polypropylene fibers are compatible with a broad range of corrosive fluids, including organic solvents, oils, acids, and alkalis. The filter has a maximum flow rate of 40 gallons per minute (gpm), and operates at temperatures up to 200 degrees F (93.3 degrees C). This felt polypropylene filter bag is used for treatment of residential and commercial drinking water and industrial fluids.

Specifications

The nominal filtration rating is for a particle removal efficiency of 85%.

H is height, the vertical distance from lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.

Water filters remove undesirable particles, chemicals, and microorganisms from water by means of a semipermeable barrier, adsorption, or biological processes. They are made of densely packed synthetic or natural fibers that trap suspended particles, materials that block microbes or adsorb unwanted chemicals, or substances that cause a chemical change, such as acid neutralization. For most residential, commercial, and industrial applications, water filters are manufactured in the form of replaceable cartridges that fit inside permanent housings. Filtration systems typically consist of a series of two or more types of filters, each designed to remove different contaminants. The performance of filters is measured by the minimum particle size that is blocked, the percentage of particles or microorganisms that are removed, the downstream concentration of unwanted chemicals, the maximum flow rate, and the amount of water that can be filtered before the filter must be replaced. Water filters are used in a wide range of applications, including drinking water purification, swimming pools, industrial processes, and irrigation, among others.
