## Overview

The Pentair Pentek EP-20 is a 20-inch whole house carbon block water filter cartridge featuring a 5 micron filtration rating and bonded powdered activated carbon. Designed with a high porosity structure to prevent clogging, it delivers superior chlorine taste and odor reduction. Compatible with all standard 20" x 2.5" housings, it offers a 12,000 gallon capacity and is NSF certified for reliable water purification in residential and commercial settings.

## Description

Pentair Pentek EP Series Carbon Block Cartridges are manufactured using a process that yields a cartridge with a nominal 5- filtration rating and high dirt-holding capacity. A high porosity design helps the cartridge from plugging before its adsorption capacity is exhausted, maximizing the utilization of the carbon while maintaining low pressure drop. These cartridges are protected by a uniquely formulated polyolefin bilaminate pre-filter, designed to significantly increase the useful life of the cartridge by trapping sediment that typically plugs carbon block cartridges. EP Series Cartridges make an ideal choice for a wide range of residential, food service, commercial and industrial applications.

## Features

- GREATER CHLORINE TASTE & ODOR REDUCTION than competitive 10 Micron carbon blocks
- FITS ALL 20" standard housings and can replace any 20" x 2.5" carbon filter cartridge
- HIGH POROSITY DESIGN helps prevent the cartridge from plugging before its adsorption capacity is exhausted
- NSF INTERNATIONAL tested and certified for your peace of mind
- 12,000 GALLON CAPACITY. Replace every 3 months or when you notice a drop in water pressure or water quality
