  • Pentek (Ametek) WP-BB Series: Economical Sediment Reduction.
  • Pentek (Ametek) WPX-BB: Recommended when Foaming is an Issue for Economical Sediment Reduction

Pentair® Pentek® WP-BB and WPX-BB Series string-wound cartridges are manufactured from a durable polypropylene cord that is wound around a rigid polypropylene core. The Pentek WP-BB and WPX-BB cartridges are an economical solution to reduce fine sediment including rust, sand and scale particles.

The material in the WP-BB Cartridges is a fibrous polypropylene media wound in a precise pattern around a polypropylene core, providing greater surface area to maintain high flow rates.

The WP-BB Cartridges are manufactured using an anti-static agent during the winding process to reduce the electrical charges produced during the winding process, while the WPX-BB Cartridges are manufactured without any anti-static agent.
