Pentek DGD Series Sediment Filter Cartridges

aqua@2025 — Thu, 13 Mar 2025 12:37:06 +0000

Pentek DGD Series cartridges are designed for purity and will not impart taste, odor or color to the liquid being filtered. Additionally, the polypropylene construction provides superior chemical resistance and is not prone to bacterial attack.

The DGD Series advanced design combines selective “final filtration” with appropriate “pre-filtration” to achieve up to three times the dirt holding capacity of similar size sediment cartridges and many more times that of standard spun or string-wound cartridges. This performance enhancement is achieved by combining two separate gradient layers in one filter.

The larger diameter of the pre-filter reduces the particle load to the post filter, allowing it to operate at higher velocities. The effective filter depth is increased to a full 233% of standard spun-polypropylene or string-wound filters. This increased depth provides for very high particulate reduction efficiencies and added loading capacity. The unique design and performance characteristics of the DGD Series cartridges make them an excellent choice for all residential, rural, municipal and commercial applications.

Pure Aqua, Inc. provides a full line of Pentek Dual Grade Sediment Filters.

Pentek RFC Series Polypropylene Filter Cartridges

aqua@2025 — Thu, 13 Mar 2025 12:37:06 +0000

RFC Series cartridges are constructed with a 70-micron porous polyethylene outer shell and durable polypropylene end caps. The 23⁄4″ OD cartridges have a polypropylene core and the 41⁄2″ OD cartridges incorporate a spun polypropylene core. Sandwiched between the outer shell and the core is a bed of granular activated carbon (GAC).

The unique radial flow design offers the benefits of granular activated carbon (GAC) filtration, such as low pressure drop, while at the same time significantly reducing the release of carbon fines commonly associated with GAC style cartridges.

RFC Series cartridges are available in a wide variety of sizes and are ideal point-of-entry (POE) and other high flow rate applications.
* Based on manufacturer’s internal testing.

Pentek ELPC Series Carbon Cartridges

aqua@2025 — Thu, 13 Mar 2025 12:37:06 +0000

The unique technology used to manufacture this product ensures that there is no bleeding of carbon fines into the plating bath. In addition, the carbon that is used is an ultra-clean, highly purified carbon to ensure that sulfur is not leached into the plating path.

ELPC Series products have a 10- micron nominal rating with superior dirt-holding ability.
The fibrous physical structure created by our proprietary Fibredyne technology produces a unique block with true depth filtration capability which allows for maximum treatment with minimal pressure drop through the cartridge.
