Pentek R30-20BB Hey everyone, Aquaman here with FilterDoctor.com.
Today we’re looking at the Pentek R30-20BB. Now this is an industry standard size cartridge
approximately 20 inches in length by 4 ½ inches in diameter, which means it’s going
to fit into many whole house filter housings. Probably the most common is the Pentek 20BB,
nicknamed the Big Blue. Now this is a 30 micron, pleated polyester
sediment capture cartridge. The polyester is bacteriostatic, making it a perfect choice
for untreated water because microorganisms cannot live and grow on this media. Polyester
is also resistant to chemicals making it a very good choice for commercial and industrial
applications. Polyester is also reusable. Now you can’t wash this cartridge indefinitely,
but 3 or 4 times before it needs to be replaced is common.
Filter life for the R30-20BB is going to depend on your unique circumstances; how much contaminant
do you have in your water and how much water are you actually putting through the cartridge.
That’s going to be unique to you because if you have a lot of sediment and a lot of
water through the cartridge, you may change it as often as every month. But if you have
average levels of sediment and you don’t use a lot of water you may get 6 to 9 months
out of this cartridge. It’s entirely dependent on your circumstances.
Again, this is the Pentek R30-20BB, and I’m your host Aquaman with FilterDoctor.com.
Thanks for watching.
