EPM-20 Carbon Block Filter: Superior Filtration for Cleaner, Safer Water
When it comes to maintaining crystal-clear water in your home or business, the EPM-20 Pentek Carbon Blk Filter stands out as a reliable and efficient solution. Designed specifically for water filtration systems, this high-quality carbon block filter cartridge effectively reduces chlorine taste and odor, sediment, and other contaminants. Its robust construction ensures consistent performance, making it an essential component for anyone seeking improved water quality and system longevity.
Key Benefits
- Delivers cleaner, fresher-tasting water by reducing chlorine and organic chemicals
- Protects your water treatment system by capturing fine sediment and particulates
- Enhances the lifespan of downstream equipment with superior filtration efficiency
- Fits standard 2.5x20-inch housings for easy integration into existing setups
- Reliable carbon block media ensures consistent performance throughout its service life
- Compact design minimizes pressure drop, maintaining optimal water flow
How It Works
The EPM-20 filter cartridge operates by passing water through a dense carbon block, which adsorbs chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other impurities. This process not only improves water taste and odor but also prevents these contaminants from reaching your taps. The carbon block’s microporous structure physically traps sediment and fine particles, protecting your water system components from clogging and damage.
Installed within a standard filter housing, the cartridge acts as a critical first line of defense, ensuring that subsequent filtration stages or appliances receive cleaner, safer water.
What to Expect
Upon installing the EPM-20 carbon block filter, you will immediately notice a reduction in chlorine taste and unpleasant odors. Over the first few days to weeks, the water’s clarity and flavor will continue to improve as the filter media fully activates. Regular use will help maintain these benefits, providing consistent filtration performance.
Maintenance is straightforward—replace the filter according to your water quality and usage patterns, typically every 3 to 6 months, to ensure ongoing protection and optimal system efficiency.
What’s Inside
- Carbon Block Media – High-grade activated carbon that adsorbs chlorine, VOCs, and odors for improved water taste
- Polypropylene Outer Shell – Durable housing that maintains filter integrity and prevents media extrusion
- End Caps – Secure sealing components that ensure proper flow direction and prevent bypass
- Microporous Structure – Fine pores that physically trap sediment and particulate matter, protecting downstream equipment
How to Use
- Turn off the water supply to your filter housing before beginning installation.
- Release pressure by opening a nearby faucet, then remove the old filter cartridge from the housing.
- Inspect and clean the filter housing if necessary to remove any sediment or debris.
- Insert the new EPM-20 carbon block filter into the housing, ensuring proper alignment.
- Securely reattach the housing and slowly turn the water supply back on.
- Check for leaks and flush the system for a few minutes to clear any loose carbon fines.
- Enjoy cleaner, fresher water immediately after installation.
