Replacement Cartridges

We are currently using the model CP5-BB water cartridge and find that we need to replace it every two weeks in order to maintain a minimal water pressure.
I viewed all of the filters that are available for the 4 1/2”x10” “Big Blue” and I was wondering which one might offer us a greater amount of time between changes.
FYI, in addition to the “Big Blue” we also have an ultraviolet water purification system and constantly providing excellent quality and innovation. are therefore not so much concerned about bacteria as much as the silt and sediment problem that we are experiencing. Thank you for your anticipated assistance in this matter.

CP5 series from Pentek has been modified to a newer model. It is now the ECP5-BB filter instead.

Standard Carbon filters also fit into the 10 inch filters, such as the GAC-10 155109
GAC-10 155109

A more advanced carbon cartridge is the CBR2-10 155268
CBR2-10 155268

Sediment filters are such as the PD-10-934 155750
PD-10-934 155750

subject: A true 1 micron filter.

Comments: I would like to know if a pleated sediment filter is a true one micron filter and is it rated to remove cysts?
I have found that there are great differances in 1 micron filters and am looking for one to
remove sediment as small as 1 micron on initial installation.
Some are only one micron after the filter gets saturated with a given amount of sediment.

It depends what you want removed from the water.
If it’s sediment, it will do. If it’s cysts, it will not.

Pleated Cellulose-Polyester; Polypropylene; etc. are Sediment filters.
For cysts, a carbon type filter is needed.

subject: replacement filter for w38-praComments: we could not find a replacement filter for
w38-pra

please reply with further details.

Any 10 inch Standard cartridge would fit.
Approximate dimension: 2-1/2” x 9-3/4”

For sediment removal the most common filter is: # 155014 P5

For Drinking Water the most common is: 155155 CC-10 or 155162 CBC-10

American Plumber is owned by the Pentair. Same ownership of Ametek (former brand), Plymouth, Culligan, USFilter amongst other brands.

Hope this helps.

I have a Culligan AC-30 with 3/8″ and some 1/4″ Guest fittings.
Is the OmniPure K2333KK the right post carbon filter?
How does the RO membrane compare to the one they used in area, filtering ability, etc.

Culligan reverse osmosis systems all use the same activated carbon prefilter, activated carbon post filter, and particulate filter. However the reverse osmosis module/membrane varies between the units, and the Post Filters come with different connection settings. In most cases, the membrane is from same manufacturer, with different label.

I have a GE smartwater gxrv10abl01 water filtering system. I see the 155268
CBR2-10 listed as a replacment filter, but only as the POST filter, not the PRE filter. Why?

GE states that it’s filter, the fxp12 is used as BOTH the pre and post filters.
Can I use this 155268 CBR2-10 as BOTH filters??
Is there any (dis)advantages???

Why are these filters so much CHEAPER than the OEM filters?
Do they meet the same spec’s???
I’m willing to buy them, but such a huge diffrence is price makes me nervous.

Last, will these “bolt right in”?????
I’m a techie type and don’t want parts that I need to “adapet”.

GE FX12P replacements would be the CBR2-10 too, but although you can use the CBR2-10 as a pre-filter, it’s more expensive.

These replacement filters will fit in correctly.

Same or better technology then the OEM.

In fact GE is not the manufacturer of these units, and I’m most certain they use the same brand with a different label.

We have a reverse osmosis system under our kitchen sink.

It is called “Culligan Cleer.”

There are three filters.
The model numbers are:

1. AC-15
2. AC-15M
3. AC-15L

Do you have something to replace these Culligan filters?

We would like to replace them ourselves, and thought it would be more economical to buy them online rather than through the Culligan Dealer, or is it so?

Thank you.

When purchasing in bulk, it’s more economical to buy the Culligan Reverse Osmosis filters online. If you need personalized service, your Culligan Man would be the better approach.

Culligan water filtration products reduce the presence of sediment and bad taste and odor.

Some Water Purification products remove or at least reduce the presence of contaminants such as nitrates, mercury, herbicides, pesticides, lead, giardia, cryptosporidium, and asbestos. Please note that not all bad things in the water that can be remove, are actually there before installing the water treatment device. It’s up to you to do a Water Test before spending a fortune on something not needed.

To sum it all up, if you are not sure what is wrong with your water, you may want to try a water test kit. The test kits will tell you which, if any, contaminants are in your water.

This CT-2 Water Filters have been around for nice couple of years. Unfortunately, it has been discontinued. So one might ask: what was so good about this unit?

It was a counter top water filter that lasted long.

Hi: My question is…I have a filter system on our Ice Machine , this is a counter machine water and Ice…I use the Culligan C-2 Cartridge for replacement, and was looking around and found other kinds of the same size, I seen a filter #155031 R30-478, my problem with the filter i use now is
that sometime i get this dirty sediment. Am I using the right filter replacement cartridge?
Thank you

The C-2 filters are for taste & odor filtration (better quality), while the R30 are for sediment removal (first stage filtration).

If you get sediment in the water after it was filtered by the C2, this indicates filters are due for replacement.

Hello,
I have a 1996 Country Couch motor home.
The main filter to the water system is in a bay under the coach and the only number I can find is “AMETEK PS-C1”
I haven’t had much luck finding a replacement.
What filter do I need and how much are they?
Thanks
(I would like to order six of them for spares)

Seems the be the C-1 filter.

Hello -

I have an American Plumber WVC34 water filter housing and am looking for replacement cartridges.
I saw the 155001 S-1 cartridge as a replacement, which is a pleated cellulose cartridge 20 micron “sediment” filter.

The unit filters my incoming city water line that feeds the entire house.
While I’m sure the listed cartridge will fit, I’m wondering whether I’d be better off with a carbon filter cartridge to reduce unwanted taste, odor, chlorine, etc.

Two questions:
American Plumber WVC34 Filter Continued »

I am interested in buying an Ametek Big Blue RFC cartridge.
If I buy 3, how long can I keep the 2 extra cartridges before I use them?
Is there an expiration date on these cartridges?
Also, for a household of 4, how frequently do I need to replace the RFC-20BB?
Or, how do I know when it’s time to replace it?

1. It would last quite a while if stored in a cool dry place.
2. Frequency of replacing really depends on the quality of water treated. There’s no set time for this.
3. When to change: Some would say once every 6-12 months, but again, there’s no set rule for this. If water flow becomes lower then usual, or the taste gets bad, you may wish to replace it.

This is a Dual Cartridge SY-5197 Water Filter System.

I have just moved into an apartment and the unit has a water filter system mounted beneath the kitchen sink with a faucet on top.
The brand is Ametek and the mounting bracket has a logo which reads “Water-Safe” in blue script. I don’t know how long the filters have been in use, but I would like to change them.
There is no model number.

Comments: the housing is 20″ long and 4″ wide at
bottom.

I’m not sure, but assume the S1-20 is what you’re looking for.

What are the quality differences between #155312 (CBC20-BB) and #155249 (GAC20-BB)?

Simple.
The CBC filters come with smaller micron ratings.
Result: better quality filtration.
Downside: faster clogging and frequent need to replace cartridge.

I just moved into a house this past Winter that has an under the counter filtration system Model CCF -UNITS, Chemical contaminate filter.
I’m looking for the filter for the first time and I’m not even sure where to start to match the filter.
Thanks for all the help you can send my way!

Comments: We have a Pentek Model Number US 560.

Don’t know which filter to purchase. Also, how often should the filters be replaced?

Thank you.

The Discontinued Model Ametek US-560 would use the CULLIGAN D-30 filters

In my well house I have a 20″ “Big Blue” filter housing from Ametek.
It takes 4.5 inch diameter, 20 inch cartridges.
My local Culligan dealer sells the 5 micron cartridges to me for $48.00.
It looks like there would be much better prices with non-branded culligan water filters.

Can you tell me what part number I’ll need for replacements?
They have been selling me wound cord cartridges, but in reading online, it looks like the spun polypropylene might be a better way to go.

All help you can give is greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

Any 4.5″ x 20″ BB water filter replacement would be good for your system.
I simply have no idea which type of filter you need, and what quality water you have.

I’m looking for whole-house water filtration that removes primarily chlorine.
Interested in low running costs.
Which is better, CuZn or active carbon?
I understand that active carbon removes chlorine etc whereas CuZn water filters converts it to a different chemical compound. Has there been any scientific tests of the health aspects of these converted compounds?
Have the CuZn filters been FDA approved?

I am looking for a US Filter (AMETEK) replacement cartridge
The number is 155153-3
It’s a carbon filter that needs replacement for my water purificiation unit.

The cartridge looks more like a GAC CC-BB cartridge with the measurements
below.

The one I see online is 155153 GAC-BB Water Filter. It shows some type of cone shape in top if the filter cartridge that is not on the original cartridge.
The original measures 9 3/8″ high x 4 5/8 diameter.
Is this a direct replacement?

Thanks for your inquiry.

The USFilter GAC cartridges are indeed different from the other carbon and sediment filters.

This is a 100 micron sediment filter and I would like to know where to get it.
Thanks for your help.

Hello,
The W50PEHDA you mentioned is an American Plumber Sediment Filter, but it’s not 100 micron as you indicated. It’s a Fifty micron sediment removal filter. The equivalent would be the R50-BB which is 155053-51 R50 Big Blue / 4-1/2″ x 9-3/4″ approx. size.

i have an under the cabinet culligan aqua-clear three stage system.
the serial number on the back is ac 10057618 and it shows ac30 premium, ac30m, and ac30l.
i believe its two filters and a reverse osmosis cartridge.
What are the replacements needed for this one?

The Culligan Aqua Clear RO filters all use the same granular activated carbon pre-filter, the same activated carbon post filter, and the same particulate filter.

However the reverse osmosis module/membrane varies between the units.

Also, the size of the post filter is different.

I have a Ametek HD-10-R50 filter system. I need to know what are my choices in filters. Can you provide the item numbers and descriptions and the micron size for the ones available? Thanks.

You have a filter that’s approx. 10″ height, and 4 1/2″ width. Is this Correct?

If yes, you need a 10″ ‘BB’ Big Blue filter.

The one you currently use, or mentioned, is a sediment filter, 50 micron, to remove large particles from water.
