## Overview

The Pentair Pentek EPM-10 is a 10" x 2.5" carbon block water filter cartridge designed to reduce chlorine taste, odor, and sediment with a 10 micron rating. Featuring a high porosity carbon block and protective outer wrap, it delivers over 3,000 gallons of cleaner water at 1 gpm with minimal pressure drop (0.4 psi). Compatible with all standard and slim line housings, it is NSF/ANSI 42 certified and ideal for residential and RV use.

## Description

The Pentair Pentek EPM-10 is an economical carbon block cartridge built for reliable chlorine taste, odor, and sediment reduction in residential and RV water systems. Using bonded Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) technology with a 10 micron nominal rating, this filter delivers over 3,000 gallons of capacity at 1 gpm while maintaining a low 0.4 psi pressure drop.What sets the EPM Series apart is its high porosity design. Standard carbon blocks often plug with sediment before their adsorption capability is fully used. The EPM-10 solves this with a porous carbon structure combined with a protective outer wrap that intercepts sediment before it reaches the carbon media, extending effective filter life.This cartridge fits all standard and slim line 10-inch filter housings, making it a direct drop-in replacement. Constructed with polypropylene endcaps, polyethylene netting, and Buna-N gaskets, it handles water temperatures from 40 to 180 degrees F. NSF/ANSI Standard 42 certified for material requirements. Replace every 3 months or when flow rate or water quality declines.

Review: eliminates smell and taste and color staining. - I have tried a dozen filters and the Pentair was the only filter to take out all taste and smell without reducing the flow rate. The sediment it collects is also very efficient and has eliminated discoloring of toilets and sinks. Would recommend for anyone who has a well and has odor, color or taste issues.
Review: Good filter, removes chlorine taste. - This is a good filter, it removes chlorine taste. It also will remove sediment but that will reduce the life of the filter. If you have issues with sediment it pays to add a sediment filter before this filter. Sediment filters cartridges cost much less and extends the life of a carbon block filter. The same housing used for the carbon block will work.

## Features

- LONGER FILTER LIFE BY DESIGN - High porosity carbon block resists premature plugging, so the full adsorption capacity is used before replacement is needed; protective outer wrap traps sediment that typically clogs carbon block cartridges
- CLEANER, BETTER-TASTING WATER - Bonded Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) block reduces chlorine taste and odor for over 3,000 gallons at 1 gpm, while providing 10 micron nominal sediment filtration
- MINIMAL PRESSURE DROP - Only 0.4 psi initial pressure drop at 1.0 gpm maintains strong water flow through your system without straining pumps or reducing output at the faucet
- UNIVERSAL 10-INCH FIT - Replaces any standard 10" x 2.5" carbon block cartridge; compatible with all standard and slim line filter housings; dimensions: 2.89" x 9.840"
- NSF/ANSI 42 CERTIFIED - Tested and certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for material requirements; rated for water temperatures from 40 to 180 degrees F; replace every 3 months or 3,000 gallons

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good filter, removes chlorine taste.
*by O***. on February 23, 2026*

This is a good filter, it removes chlorine taste. It also will remove sediment but that will reduce the life of the filter. If you have issues with sediment it pays to add a sediment filter before this filter. Sediment filters cartridges cost much less and extends the life of a carbon block filter. The same housing used for the carbon block will work.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As expected

Exactly as expected.
