The Watts Big-Bubba Pleated Cartridge 1 µm (BBC-150-P1A, PP 1 Absolute Micron) from AMPAC USA is built for demanding filtration needs, particularly applications involving gelatinous substances or requiring strong chemical resistance. This pleated polypropylene cartridge offers high efficiency and an expansive surface area, translating into greater throughput and lower operational costs. Its jumbo size extends the cartridge's service life, minimizing how often it needs to be replaced while maintaining continuous, reliable filtration for critical applications.

  • Absolute 1-micron rating removes at least 99.9% of particles at or above 1 micron
  • Pleated design maximizes surface area for higher flow and dirt-holding capacity
  • Fits all Big Bubba BBH-150 filter housings
  • Polypropylene construction offers strong chemical resistance
  • Double O-ring seals prevent bypass

The BBC-150-P1A is an absolute 1-micron pleated cartridge - guaranteed to remove at least 99.9% of particles at or above 1 micron. That makes it well suited to applications where even the smallest particulates must be removed from the water stream. The pleated design maximizes the filter media's surface area within the cartridge, allowing for higher flow rates and greater dirt-holding capacity than a depth filter of similar dimensions. It's designed to fit all Big Bubba BBH-150 filter housings, ensuring compatibility with existing Big Bubba systems.

Applications include pre-filtration for reverse osmosis systems, protecting sensitive membranes from fouling; industrial process water treatment; residential whole-house filtration; and commercial settings such as breweries, wineries, and food service where clarity and purity matter. The polypropylene construction provides strong chemical resistance, suiting it to filtering a range of liquids without media degradation. Double O-ring seals prevent bypass, ensuring all water passes through the filter media for maximum effectiveness.

AMPAC USA manufactures each BBC-150-P1A cartridge with precision using high-grade polypropylene for durability and consistent filtration efficiency. The broader Watts Big-Bubba BBC-150 Series, including depth filters at various micron ratings, offers additional options for diverse filtration requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "absolute 1 micron" mean for the BBC-150-P1A?

It means the cartridge is guaranteed to remove at least 99.9% of particles at or above 1 micron in size, a stricter standard than a "nominal" rating.

What housing does this cartridge fit?

It's designed to fit all Big Bubba BBH-150 filter housings.

How does the pleated design differ from a depth cartridge?

The pleated construction increases the filter media's surface area within the same cartridge size, which allows for higher flow rates and greater dirt-holding capacity compared to a standard depth filter.

What applications is the BBC-150-P1A recommended for?

It's commonly used for reverse osmosis pre-filtration, industrial process water treatment, residential whole-house filtration, and commercial settings like breweries, wineries, and food service where water clarity and purity are essential.

Is this cartridge chemically resistant?

Yes, its polypropylene construction offers strong chemical resistance, making it suitable for filtering a range of liquids without the media degrading.
