NCP Series Non-Cellulose Carbon-Impregnated Pleated Cartridges

• Non-cellulose media resists bacterial attack
• Provides sediment filtration and chlorine taste & odor reduction
• Pleated for maximum dirt-loading capacity
• Nominal 10-micron rating

NCP Series cartridges are constructed from a carbon-impregnated non-cellulose media. They offer sediment-filtration, as well as taste, odor and chlorine taste and odor reduction in one cartridge. Unlike cellulose cartridges, NCP Series cartridges are resistant to bacterial attack allowing them to be used for municipal and nonchlorinated water applications. Pleats provide additional surface area for high dirt-loading capacity, while maintaining minimal pressure drop. This combination of a pleated polyester media and carbon filtration produces an outstanding filter cartridge with extended service life. NCP Series cartridges are excellent polishing filters, closed loop streams and are ideal for post reverse osmosis and well water applications.
