Key Benefits

• Improves water taste and odor by effectively reducing chlorine and organic compounds
• Protects plumbing and appliances by minimizing sediment and chemical buildup
• Ensures consistent water flow with a sturdy 2-1/2 x 10-inch design compatible with most standard housings
• Enhances system longevity by reducing strain on downstream filters and equipment
• Easy to install and replace, supporting hassle-free maintenance

How It Works

The EP-10 Pentek Carbon Briquette filter cartridge works by channeling water through its dense carbon briquette media, which adsorbs chlorine, volatile organic compounds, and other impurities. This carbon media is specially formulated to provide a large surface area for contaminant removal, ensuring that water passing through is purified without sacrificing flow rate.

Installed within a standard water filtration housing, the cartridge acts as a critical barrier that improves water quality before it reaches your taps or appliances. Its design promotes efficient filtration while maintaining system pressure, making it a trusted choice for residential and light commercial water treatment systems.

What to Expect

Once installed, you will immediately notice an improvement in water taste and smell, especially if your water previously had a chlorine or chemical odor. During the first few days, the filter will work to eliminate residual tastes and odors, providing cleaner water for drinking and cooking.

Over the following weeks, the cartridge continues to maintain consistent filtration performance, protecting your system from sediment and chemical buildup. Regular replacement ensures optimal results and prolongs the life of your entire water treatment setup.

What’s Inside

• Carbon Briquette Media – Provides high adsorption capacity to remove chlorine, taste, and odor effectively
