Parker RCP100-20EPP High Flow Filter Cartridge: 20‑Inch 100 Micron PP Pleated Replacement
Introduction:The Parker RCP100-20EPP high flow filter cartridge is a 20‑inch polypropylene pleated filter element commonly used for industrial water pretreatment, reverse osmosis pre‑filtration, and high‑flow liquid filtration systems. With a nominal filtration rating of 100 microns, it is typically selected for removing suspended solids, sediment, rust particles, colloidal contaminants, and other larger particulate impurities before RO membranes, UF systems, and precision water treatment equipment. The RCP100-20EPP cartridge is often specified in applications requiring high flow rates, low initial pressure drop, chemical compatibility, and direct replacement for existing Parker high flow filter housings.

Working Principle
The Parker RCP100-20EPP high flow filter cartridge generally adopts an inside‑to‑outside radial pleated filtration structure. Untreated water enters the inner core of the filter cartridge through the bottom opening and then flows radially outward through the multi‑layer pleated polypropylene filter media. Suspended solids, sediment, rust, and larger particulate contaminants are captured on the media surface and within the depth of the filter layer, while the filtered water passes through the outer sleeve and continues to the downstream RO or UF system.
This radial pleated design maximizes the effective filtration area within a single 20‑inch cartridge, allowing the filter to handle high flow rates with relatively low initial differential pressure. As solid contaminants accumulate in the filter media, the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet will gradually increase. When the differential pressure reaches the recommended replacement value, the cartridge should be replaced to restore flow capacity and protect downstream membrane equipment. Our compatible RCP100-20EPP replacement cartridge follows the same filtration logic, ensuring direct interchangeability and consistent system performance.
Core Advantages
20‑Inch High Flow CapacityThe RCP100-20EPP cartridge is designed as a compact 20‑inch high flow filter element, making it suitable for systems that require high throughput but have limited housing height. It can help reduce the number of filter elements per vessel and lower overall maintenance frequency.
100 Micron Pre‑Filtration PerformanceWith a typical 100 micron rating, the RCP100-20EPP is suitable for removing larger suspended solids, sediment, rust particles, and colloidal contaminants. It is commonly used as a pre‑filtration stage before finer filters or RO membranes, helping reduce the solid load on downstream equipment.
Polypropylene Media for Good Chemical CompatibilityThe use of polypropylene pleated media provides good chemical compatibility with many industrial water treatment applications. PP media is commonly selected for its resistance to a wide range of aqueous solutions, making it suitable for pre‑filtration in RO systems, circulating water pipelines, and general industrial water processes.
Low Initial Pressure Drop and High Dirt Holding CapacityThe pleated media configuration allows water to pass through a large filtration area with relatively low resistance. This helps reduce system pressure drop, lower energy consumption, and maintain stable flow rates during long‑term operation. The multi‑layer pleated structure also offers high contaminant holding capacity, extending service intervals and reducing cartridge consumption.
Direct Interchangeable Replacement SolutionOur compatible RCP100-20EPP replacement cartridge is engineered to match the original installation dimensions, interface configuration, and sealing requirements. It can be installed into standard Parker high flow filter housings without modifying existing equipment. This makes it suitable for aftermarket replacement, water treatment plant retrofits, and bulk project procurement.
