Pentek R50-BB Hey everyone, Aquaman here with FilterDoctor.com.
Today we’re looking at the Pentek R50-BB. The R50-BB is a 50 micron pleated polyester
sediment removal cartridge. Now polyester has many benefits. The big one
is that it’s bacteriostatic, which means bacteria cannot live and grow on this media,
unlike cellulose. So it’s perfect for untreated waters. Also, it’s more durable than cellulose,
and it can be washed, not indefinitely, but 3 to 4 times before you need to replace the
cartridge. The 50 micron rating means that this will
capture sediment that’s about twice the size of a speck of milled flour, so it’s
a great pre-filter before your other filters or maybe before your water softener.
It’s an industry standard size, approximately 10 inches long by 4 ½ inches in diameter,
diameter is width, which means it’s going to fit in a vast array of whole house filter
housings. The most common is probably the HD950.
This is the R50-BB from Pentek, and I’m your host Aquaman with FilterDoctor.com.
Thanks for watching.
