Key Benefits

• Protects your water system from sediment buildup, extending the lifespan of downstream equipment.
• Maintains optimal flow rates with a 20-micron pleated design that balances filtration and water pressure.

How It Works

The NPF-BB-20-5 Nelsen Dirt Cart filter cartridge works by trapping sediment and particulate contaminants within its pleated filter media. As water flows through the cartridge, dirt, sand, and rust particles are captured on the porous surface, preventing them from entering your water system.

This filtration process protects critical components such as softeners, reverse osmosis units, and plumbing fixtures from clogging and damage, promoting efficient operation and reducing maintenance needs.

What to Expect

Once installed, you will immediately notice cleaner and clearer water free from visible sediment. In the first days and weeks, the filter cartridge will efficiently trap particles, ensuring your system operates without interruptions caused by debris buildup.

Over time, the cartridge may accumulate sediment and require replacement to maintain optimal filtration performance. Regular inspections and timely cartridge changes will keep your water treatment system running smoothly and extend the life of your equipment.

What’s Inside

• Pleated Filter Media – Provides a large surface area for trapping 20-micron particles effectively while maintaining flow.
• Polypropylene Core – Offers structural strength and durability to withstand system pressure and prevent collapse.
• Sealing Gasket – Ensures a secure, leak-free fit inside standard big blue filter housings.

How to Use

1. Turn off the water supply to your filtration system before beginning replacement.
2. Release pressure by opening a downstream faucet or using the pressure release valve on the filter housing.
3. Unscrew the big blue filter housing carefully and remove the old cartridge.
4. Insert the NPF-BB-20-5 Nelsen Dirt Cart cartridge, ensuring the gasket seats properly.
5. Screw the filter housing back onto the system securely but avoid overtightening.
