High-Performance Pentek Carbon Block Filter Cartridge for Cleaner, Better-Tasting Water

The CBC-BB Pentek Carbon Block 10" BB filter cartridge is designed to tackle common water impurities effectively, delivering cleaner, clearer water for your household or commercial water system. Unlike standard filters, this carbon block cartridge offers reliable contaminant reduction, making it an essential component in any water treatment setup needing efficient sediment and chemical filtration. Trust this filter cartridge for consistent performance in your water softener or filtration system.

Key Benefits

• Improves water taste and odor by reducing chlorine and other chemicals
• Protects plumbing and appliances by filtering out sediment and particulate matter
• Enhances overall water quality, supporting safer and more enjoyable water usage
• Fits standard 10" big blue housings for easy integration into existing systems
• Durable construction ensures long-lasting filtration performance
• Helps extend the life of your water softener and other filtration components

How It Works

This Pentek carbon block filter uses activated carbon compressed into a dense block to physically trap sediments and chemically adsorb impurities. As water passes through the cartridge, chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other contaminants bind to the carbon surface, while particulates are filtered out mechanically. This dual-action filtration improves water clarity, taste, and safety for everyday use.

Installed inside a 10" big blue filter housing, the CBC-BB cartridge works seamlessly with water softeners and other treatment equipment, serving as a dependable pre-filter or standalone solution to reduce unwanted substances from your water supply.

What to Expect

Upon installation, you’ll notice an immediate improvement in water taste and odor, with reduced chlorine and chemical presence. In the first few days to weeks, the filter will settle in, providing consistent filtration without compromising flow rate. Over time, expect reliable performance with regular cartridge replacement based on your water usage and quality.

Maintenance is straightforward—simply replace the cartridge when flow decreases or after recommended usage duration to maintain optimal filtration efficiency. This ensures your water system continues running smoothly without sediment buildup or chemical contamination.
