Pentek BBF1-20MB Deionization Filter Hey everyone, Aquaman here with FilterDoctor.com.
Today we’re looking at the Pentek BBF1-20MB. Now this is an industry standard size cartridge,
approximately twenty inches long by four and a half inches in diameter; diameter being
the width. This cartridge utilizes a twenty to forty
mesh FDA approved semi- conductorgrade mixed bed DI resin. It’s designed to remove total
dissolved solids and the resin is unique in that it goes through some special processing
steps that will minimize total organic carbon output through this filter cartridge. It’s
capable of deionizing water up to 16 megohms. It has an approximate capacity of 120,000
parts per million of total dissolved solids or about 1,850 grains.
Now it’s designed for low flow applications because it’s an axial flow cartridge which
means water enters at the bottom and has to rise through the entire bed of media before
it escapes at the top. That dramatically reduces the flow. Also it needs the contact time in
order to reduce the total dissolved solids. So it has a low flow, but that’s ok because
it’s designed for pharmaceutical and medical laboratories, the manufacturing of cosmetics
and the manufacturing of electronic circuit boards or other high end electronics where
you need a very high purity water but you don’t need a great quantity of it.
So this is the Pentek BBF1-20MB, and I’m your host Aquaman with FilterDoctor.com.
Thanks for watching.
