How It Works

The EPM-20BB Pentek EPM Carbon Briq Filter functions by channeling water through a dense carbon briquette core that adsorbs chlorine, chloramines, and other chemical impurities. As water passes through, the activated carbon media traps these contaminants, preventing them from reaching your faucets and appliances. Its design allows for optimized flow rates while maintaining effective filtration, making it a vital component within water softener setups or standalone filtration systems.

By integrating this filter cartridge into your water treatment system, you ensure that harmful tastes and odors are significantly reduced, resulting in cleaner, fresher water for drinking, cooking, and other household uses.

What to Expect

Once installed, you’ll notice an immediate improvement in water taste and clarity. The unpleasant chlorine smell and chemical aftertastes commonly found in municipal water supplies will diminish rapidly. Within the first few days, your water will feel softer and more refreshing.

Over the following weeks, the filter’s performance remains consistent, with minimal impact on water flow. Routine replacement based on your system’s usage and water quality will keep your filtration reliable and efficient long-term, ensuring your water softener or filtration system continues to operate at peak performance.
