The Watts Big-Bubba Pleated Cartridge 20 µm, model BBC-150-P20 (PE 20 Micron), from AMPAC USA, is built for demanding water treatment applications, particularly those involving gelatinous substances or requiring strong chemical resistance. This pleated sediment filter cartridge captures particles down to 20 microns, removing a wide range of suspended solids and impurities from water streams. Its pleated design significantly increases surface area compared to standard depth filters, allowing for greater throughput and extended service life, which reduces operational costs and improves efficiency.

  • 20-micron filtration removes a wide range of suspended solids and impurities
  • Pleated design increases surface area and dirt-holding capacity while lowering pressure drop
  • Fits all Big Bubba BBH-150 filter housings
  • Polyethylene media provides strong chemical resistance
  • Double O-ring seals prevent bypass

This cartridge suits critical applications where consistent water quality and reliable performance matter. Its polyethylene construction delivers both strong filtration and chemical resistance for a range of industrial and commercial settings. The 20-micron rating works well as a pre-filtration stage to protect more sensitive downstream equipment, or as a primary filter where this level of particulate removal is sufficient. The pleated structure enhances dirt-holding capacity while maintaining a lower pressure drop across the filter, supporting energy savings and more efficient system operation.

Designed to fit all Big Bubba BBH-150 filter housings, the BBC-150-P20 ensures a secure fit, and double O-ring seals guard against bypass so all water flows through the filtration media. As a jumbo cartridge, it's built for high-flow applications requiring significant volumes of filtered water without compromising quality or efficiency.

AMPAC USA manufactures the BBC-150-P20 with materials and strict quality control, delivering reliable filtration and durability. For sediment filtration with strong chemical resistance and high flow rates, this cartridge is a solid choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What particle size does the BBC-150-P20 filter out?

It filters down to 20 microns, removing a wide range of suspended solids and impurities from the water stream.

What filter housing does this cartridge fit?

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

Does the pleated design affect flow rate?

Yes — the pleats increase dirt-holding capacity while keeping pressure drop across the filter lower, which supports more efficient system operation and energy savings.

What kind of applications is this cartridge suited for?

It works well as a pre-filtration stage to protect sensitive downstream equipment, or as a primary filter in industrial and commercial settings needing 20-micron particulate removal.

How is bypass prevented in the housing?

Double O-ring seals ensure a secure fit, preventing unfiltered water from bypassing the filter media.
