Frequently Asked Questions

How do I properly size a Pentek filter for my pool?

To properly size a Pentek filter for your pool, consider factors like pool size, pump flow rate and bather load.

How often do I need to replace my filter bag?

The frequency of replacement depends on the amount of debris in the fluid, the size of the particles and the material of the filter bag.

What is the micron rating of a filter bag?

The micron rating refers to the size of particles that a filter bag can effectively remove. A lower micron rating means the bag can remove smaller particles, while a higher micron rating can only remove larger particles.

What is the difference between pleated and non-pleated filter cartridges?

Pleated filter cartridges have a series of folds that increase the surface area for filtration, while non-pleated cartridges have a flat surface. Pleated cartridges provide higher flow rates and longer life, while non-pleated cartridges are more compact & cost-effective.
