It has a nominal filtration rating of 30 microns at an efficiency of 85%. The filter is made of resin-impregnated cellulose and polyester media pleated around a polypropylene core for strength. It has an initial pressure drop of less than 1 pound per square inch (psi) at a flow rate of 10 gallons per minute (gpm), and operates over a temperature range of 40 to 125 degrees F (4.4 to 51.7 degrees C). This pleated polyester filter cartridge is for use in various applications, including drinking water purification, irrigation, and industrial processes, among others.SpecificationsNominal filtration rating30 micronsInitial pressure drop at 10 gpm<1 psiTemperature range40 to 125 degrees F (4.4 to 51.7 degrees C)Maximum dimensions (H x W)20 x 4-1/2 inches (508 x 114 mm)The nominal filtration rating is for a particle removal efficiency of 85%.H is height, the vertical distance from lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.Water filters remove undesirable particles, chemicals, and microorganisms from water by means of a semipermeable barrier, adsorption, or biological processes. They are made of densely packed synthetic or natural fibers that trap suspended particles, materials that block microbes or adsorb unwanted chemicals, or substances that cause a chemical change, such as acid neutralization. For most residential, commercial, and industrial applications, water filters are manufactured in the form of replaceable cartridges that fit inside permanent housings. Filtration systems typically consist of a series of two or more types of filters, each designed to remove different contaminants. The performance of filters is measured by the minimum particle size that is blocked, the percentage of particles or microorganisms that are removed, the downstream concentration of unwanted chemicals, the maximum flow rate, and the amount of water that can be filtered before the filter must be replaced. Water filters are used in a wide range of applications, including drinking water purification, swimming pools, industrial processes, and irrigation, among others.Pentair manufactures industrial, commercial, and residential water filtration components and systems. The company, founded in 1966 and headquartered in Minneapolis, MN, meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards 9001 and 14001 for quality assurance. ## Features - KEEP YOUR WATER CLEAN and protect your appliances by removing dirt, sand, silt and particulates - FITS ALL 20" Big Blue Housing and can replace any 20" x 4.5" sediment filter - PLEATED MEDIA maximizes dirt holding capacity and extends the time period between changes or cleaning - DURABLE, NON-WOVEN AND REUSABLE POLYESTER FABRIC that is suitable for a wide range of filtration uses - REUSABLE TO EXTEND CARTRIDGE LIFE ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0030ZP8AE | | Best Sellers Rank | #44,060 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #321 in Replacement Under-Sink Water Filters | | Brand Name | Pentek | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (252) | | External Testing Certification | NSF | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00051678430439 | | Included Components | Sediment Water Filter, 20" | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 4.63"D x 19.75"W x 4.63"H | | Item Type Name | Sediment Water Filter | | Item Weight | 1.2 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Pentair Industries | | Manufacturer Part Number | 155430-43 | | Material Type | Polyester | | Model Number | R30-20BB | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Benefits | Protects appliances by removing impurities and sediment from water | | Set Name | Big Blue | | UPC | 807032975067 051678430439 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Material:** Polyester - **Item weight:** 544 g - **External testing certification:** NSF - **Product benefits:** Protects appliances by removing impurities and sediment from water - **Brand:** Pentek ## Images ![Pentair R30-20BB Big Blue Sediment Water Filter, 20-Inch, Whole House Pleated Polyester Filter Cartridge, 20" x 4.5", 30 Micron - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61vocQoWIIL.jpg) ## Frequently Bought Together - Pentair Pentek R30-20BB Big Blue Sediment Water Filter, Whole House Pleated Polyester Filter Cartridge, 20" x 4.5", 30 Micron, White - Pentair Pentek RFC-20BB Big Blue Carbon Water Filter, 20-Inch, Whole House Heavy Duty Radial Flow Carbon Replacement Cartridge with Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) Filter, 20" x 4.5", 25 Micron - Captain O-Ring - Replacement 151122 O-Rings Compatible with Pentair Pentek Big Blue Water Filters OEM Size ORing Buna-N (3 Pack) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/253575596-pentair-r30-20bb-big-blue-sediment-water-filter-20-inch](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/253575596-pentair-r30-20bb-big-blue-sediment-water-filter-20-inch) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-08*
