Pentek - WPX100BB97P 10" x 4.5" Big Blue Wound Fibrillated Polypropylene Sediment Filter - 100 Micron

Pentek • 100 Micron • 10" x 4.5" Big Blue

WPX100BB97P Wound Fibrillated Polypropylene Sediment Filter

Heavy-duty wound polypropylene construction for whole house, well, and commercial sediment filtration applications

100 Micron Nominal 10" x 4.5" Big Blue Polypropylene
WHY IT WORKS

Fibrillated polypropylene wound around a rigid core for consistent sediment removal

🌀

Wound Fibrillated Structure

Fibrillated polypropylene fibers wound in a precise gradient density pattern trap larger sediment particles while maintaining flow

💧

100 Micron Nominal Rating

Removes sand, silt, rust, and scale down to 100 microns without excessive pressure drop in high-flow applications

🏗️

Polypropylene Core

Rigid polypropylene core prevents collapse under pressure and maintains cartridge integrity throughout service life

🔬

Chemical Resistance

100% pure polypropylene construction resists chemicals, bacteria growth, and offers broad pH compatibility

🏡

Whole House Capacity

10" x 4.5" Big Blue format provides extended surface area and dirt-holding capacity for whole house and commercial systems

MAINTENANCE

Replacement Schedule for WPX100BB97P

3–6 Months

Well Water Applications

Replace every 3 to 6 months depending on sediment load. Wells with heavy sand or iron content may require more frequent changes.

6–12 Months

Municipal Whole House

For pre-treated municipal water with moderate sediment, expect 6 to 12 months service life under normal household usage.

As Needed

Pressure Drop Monitoring

Replace when pressure drop across filter exceeds 10 PSI or flow rate noticeably decreases, indicating sediment saturation.

🔧

Drop-In Replacement

Standard Big Blue sizing for fast cartridge changes

💪

High Dirt Capacity

Wound design holds more sediment than comparable string-wound filters

🌊

NSF Components

Made from FDA-grade materials for potable water use

⚙️

Broad Compatibility

Works with well, municipal, and commercial water sources
