How It Works

The CBC-10 Pentek Carbon Block Cartridge functions by passing water through a dense carbon block material that adsorbs chlorine, volatile organic compounds, and other impurities. This carbon block filter also traps sediment and fine particles, preventing them from reaching your plumbing and appliances. By integrating this cartridge into your water treatment system, it acts as a critical barrier that improves water quality and system longevity.

Its precise design ensures a high surface area for contaminant capture while maintaining optimal flow rates, making it an efficient element of any water filtration setup.

What to Expect

Once installed, you will immediately notice an improvement in water taste and clarity. The reduction of chlorine and odors happens from the first use, giving you fresher, cleaner water for drinking, cooking, and bathing. Over the first few weeks, the cartridge will continue to effectively trap fine sediments and reduce contaminants, ensuring consistent water quality.

With proper maintenance, the CBC-10 filter cartridge offers reliable, long-term performance. Periodic replacement helps maintain filtration efficiency and protects your entire water system from premature wear.
