The Pentek BFS-201 filter system typically utilizes a housing constructed from durable, reinforced polypropylene. This material is selected for its resistance to a wide range of chemicals and its ability to withstand the pressures associated with typical water filtration applications. The housing is designed to securely contain the filter cartridge and provide a leak-proof seal.
Employing a robust and chemically resistant housing is critical for maintaining the integrity of the filtration process. A well-designed housing prevents contaminants from bypassing the filter, ensuring the desired water quality is achieved. Historically, similar filtration systems have relied on various materials, but polypropylene has emerged as a standard due to its balance of cost-effectiveness, durability, and compatibility with different water sources.
