Pentek - ECP5-10 - 10" x 2.5" Pleated Cellulose 5 Micron Sediment Filter
ECP5-10 10" Pleated Cellulose Filter
The Pentek ECP5-10 uses a unique blend of resin-impregnated cellulose and polyester fibers to deliver higher wet strength than standard cellulose cartridges. With 12 square feet of pleated media and a 5 micron nominal rating, this filter handles sediment, dirt, and particulate with minimal pressure drop—just 1 psi at 10 GPM.
Built for Performance and Durability
Resin-Impregnated Media
Cellulose and polyester blend provides superior wet strength and consistent filtration performance over the cartridge life
Pleated Design
12 square feet of media surface area in a standard 10" x 2.5" format delivers high dirt-holding capacity and extended service intervals
Low Pressure Drop
Engineered for high flow rates with minimal resistance—just 1 psi pressure drop at 10 gallons per minute
Fused End Caps
Vinyl plastisol end caps thermally fused to the pleat block create a unified gasket seal and eliminate bypass
Polypropylene Core
Structural core adds rigidity and prevents collapse under flow, maintaining integrity throughout the filter cycle
Wide Temp Range
Rated for 40°F to 125°F, suitable for both cold water applications and warmer source conditions
Technical Details
Where to Use the ECP5-10
The Pentek ECP5-10 fits standard 10-inch filter housings with 2.5-inch outer diameter cartridges. Ideal for sediment pre-filtration in whole-house water systems, reverse osmosis pre-treatment, well water applications, and general-purpose particulate removal. Compatible with Pentek, Culligan, Omnifilter, and most industry-standard 10" housings. Use as first-stage sediment filtration ahead of carbon blocks, RO membranes, or UV systems to extend downstream filter life and protect sensitive components.
Pentek has been engineering filtration solutions for decades. The ECP5-10 represents proven sediment filtration technology trusted by installers and homeowners alike.
