PENTEK® (Ametek) CBC Series Carbon Briquette Filters by Pentair

CBC Series cartridges are highly effective at reducing unwanted tastes and odors, including chlorine taste & odor and other contaminants. CBC Series cartridges are an ideal choice for a wide range residential, food service, commercial and industrial applications. They also make excellent polishing filters or pre-filters in applications requiring fine filtration and high capacity.

PENTEK® (Ametek) EP Series Carbon Briquette Filters by Pentair

EP Series carbon briquette cartridges have a nominal 5-micron filtration rating, high dirt-holding capacity. A high porosity design helps prevent 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 Endurawrap®, 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.

PENTEK® (Ametek) EPM Series Carbon Briquette Filters by Pentair

EPM Series cartridges are a modified version of our EP Series cartridge. An economical price makes this cartridge an attractive choice for taste, odor, and chlorine taste & odor reduction, as well as sediment filtration.  EPM Series cartridges have a nominal 10-micron filtration rating, high porosity and chlorine taste & odor reduction. The high porosity design helps prevent the cartridge from plugging before its adsorption capability is exhausted, maximizing the utilization of the carbon while maintaining low pressure drop.

PENTEK® (Ametek) CBR1 Series Carbon Briquette Filters by Pentair
