The Pentek 155141 RFC-BB is ideally suited for high flow applications in whole-house water filtration systems, but it can also be used in many point-of-use (POU) applications in industrial or residential settings. This filter employs a highly effective radial flow design in which water enters the cartridge through the porous 25-micron polyethylene outer shell, before being filtered by the granular activated carbon (GAC) filter media. Final filtration takes place at the cartridge’s spun polypropylene core.

This process minimizes the release of carbon fines and maximizes the amount of surface area available for filtration. The Pentek RFC-BB Radial Flow filter offers 15 times greater dirt holding capacity than comparable axial flow filters with far superior performance. The increase in surface area also increases the flow rate of water through the filter cartridge, as liquid is allowed to flow through the entire length of the filter at a high velocity. The high-density polypropylene core also offers superior chemical resistance, durability, and protection to bacterial growths. The ridged polypropylene end caps also help to protect against any unforeseen leaks.

The Pentek 155141 cartridge can remove traces of sediment, rust, dirt, and sand from the water. While the GAC filter media can help to reduce chemical contaminants, cysts, turbidity, lead, as well as chlorine-related odors and tastes in the water supply.
