Sediment Prefilter System

The Pentair Sediment Prefilter System helps protect your water filtration system and home appliances. Stop heavy sediment, dirt, and particulates as small as 5 microns from entering your home filtration system, and improve overall performance. Install as a stand-alone filter if your water concern is sediment. Or, install with a whole home filter system to protect your faucets from clogging, damaging your water-using appliances, and for better, more refreshing water and longer-lasting, more reliable system performance.

  • Cartridge-based sediment filtration system ideal for pre-filtration and dirt and debris reduction throughout the whole home.
  • Reduce sediment down to 5 microns in size (thatâ??s 20x smaller than a human hair!)
  • Filter cartridge lasts up to 9 months, depending on source water, average water use and filter size installed
  • Two sizes to choose from to meet the demands of your home

What model is right for me?

The BB10 is ideal for homes that have 1 to 3 bathrooms. The BB20 is the right choice for homes with 4 to 6 bathrooms.

Why is the pre-filter housing blue and not clear?

Clear housing allows light to penetrate the housing, which can cause algae to grow. A blue, non-transparent housing prevents light from interacting with the water.

Where do I mount the system?

The entire pre-filter system mounts to the wall near the entry point of the water into the home using the provided bracket and screws for easy installation.
