Pentek - R30-BB 20" x 4.5" Big Blue REUSABLE Pleated Polyester Sediment Filter - 30 Micron
R30-BB 20" x 4.5" Reusable Pleated Polyester Filter
Industrial-grade 30 micron sediment filtration with over 16 square feet of cleanable polyester media for whole house, well, and commercial applications
Built for High-Volume Sediment Removal
Reusable and Cleanable
Non-woven polyester fabric can be removed, rinsed, and reinstalled multiple times, reducing long-term filtration costs for high-sediment applications
Maximum Surface Area
Over 16 square feet of pleated polyester media provides exceptional dirt-holding capacity and extended service intervals between cleanings
Unitized Construction
Vinyl plastisol end caps fuse media, core, and gasket into a single piece. Sonically welded seam reduces bypass and improves filtration efficiency
Chemical and Bacteria Resistant
Durable polyester media withstands chemical exposure and resists bacterial growth, suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial water systems
