Pentek RFFE20-BB Radial Flow Iron Reduction Cartridge
The RFFE20-BB filter cartridge is designed to provide an easy and effective method of reducing iron from water, which greatly improves the taste.
This cartridge helps to eliminate the orange and brown stains often found in sinks, toilets, tubs and other plumbing fixtures. It also reduces the possibility of damage to pipes and water heaters and reduces up to 3 ppm dissolved iron.
It adds no harmful chemicals to the water, making it completely safe for drinking water applications.
The RFFE20-BB cartridge is designed for use in the PENTEK 20-inch BB filter housings and should be installed on the main cold water line after the pressure tank or water meter. For best results, pre-sediment and post-carbon treatment is recommended.

WARNING: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the unit.
CAUTION: Protect against freezing to prevent cracking of the filter and water leakage.
NOTE: The RFFE20-BB and RFC20-BB cartridges will contain a very small amount of fines (very fine powder) and new cartridges, after installation, should be flushed with sufficient water to remove all traces of fines from your water system before use.
