How It Works

The CBC-20BB Pentek Carbon Block Filter uses activated carbon compressed into a solid block to trap impurities as water passes through. This dense carbon structure adsorbs chlorine, volatile organic compounds, and other contaminants, improving water clarity and taste. It acts as a critical barrier inside your water softener or filtration system, ensuring only cleaner water reaches your faucets.

Water flows evenly through the 20-inch filter, maximizing contact with the carbon surface for thorough purification. This process helps maintain the health of your plumbing and appliances by reducing corrosive elements and sediment buildup over time.

What to Expect

Once installed, you will notice a significant improvement in water taste and odor almost immediately. Over the first few days, the filter will efficiently reduce chlorine and other unwanted chemicals, making water safer and more pleasant to use. Throughout weeks of use, the CBC-20BB maintains consistent filtration performance, supporting reliable water quality.

With proper maintenance and timely replacement, this carbon block filter offers dependable, long-term protection for your water system, reducing the need for frequent repairs and preserving appliance lifespan.
