Frequently Asked Questions

What contaminants does the Pentek FloPlus-20BB filter reduce?

The Pentek FloPlus-20BB is specifically engineered to reduce PFOA and PFOS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, also known as "forever chemicals") from your drinking water. In addition to PFOA/PFOS reduction, this premium carbon block cartridge also reduces chlorine taste and odor, cysts (including Cryptosporidium and Giardia), VOCs, lead, and fine sediment, making it one of the most comprehensive Big Blue-compatible cartridges available from Pentek.

What is the micron rating and flow rate of the FloPlus-20BB cartridge?

The Pentek FloPlus-20BB has a nominal 0.5 micron rating, allowing it to capture extremely fine particulates and cysts while still delivering a strong service flow rate of up to 6 gallons per minute (GPM). Its 20" x 4.5" Big Blue dimensions provide a large surface area, which minimizes pressure drop compared to standard-size carbon blocks.

Is the Pentek FloPlus-20BB NSF certified?

Yes. The FloPlus-20BB is tested and certified by NSF International to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for chlorine taste and odor reduction and NSF/ANSI Standard 53 for the reduction of PFOA/PFOS, cysts, lead, and VOCs. This third-party certification verifies that the cartridge meets strict performance claims for contaminant reduction.

How long does the FloPlus-20BB filter last before replacement?

The Pentek FloPlus-20BB has a rated capacity of 20,000 gallons for chlorine reduction and is certified for 2,500 gallons of PFOA/PFOS reduction at 6 GPM. For most households, this translates to a replacement interval of approximately 6 to 12 months, depending on your water quality and daily usage. Replacing on schedule ensures continued protection against PFOA/PFOS and maintains optimal flow.

What housings is the FloPlus-20BB compatible with?

The FloPlus-20BB is designed to fit all standard 20" x 4.5" Big Blue whole-house filter housings, including Pentek Big Blue, Pentair, and other compatible 20-inch heavy-duty housings. It features standard double open-end (DOE) gasket connections with Buna-N gaskets for a leak-free seal, making it a direct drop-in replacement for any 20BB-size filter system requiring PFOA/PFOS reduction.
