## Overview

The Pentair Pentek CBC-10 is a premium 0.5-micron carbon block water filter designed to reduce chlorine taste and odor with a robust 20,000-gallon capacity per filter. Certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 42, it fits all standard 10" x 2.5" housings and delivers superior sediment and contaminant reduction for cleaner, better-tasting water.

## Description

The Pentair Pentek CBC-10 is a bonded powdered activated carbon (PAC) block filter cartridge engineered for effective chlorine taste and odor reduction in potable water systems. With a 0.5 micron nominal rating, the CBC-10 delivers finer filtration than standard carbon block cartridges, capturing sediment and particulates while maintaining over 20,000 gallons of chlorine reduction capacity at a 1 gpm flow rate.The carbon block construction provides enhanced dirt-holding capacity compared to granular activated carbon (GAC) filters, making the CBC-10 suitable as both a standalone filter and a polishing or pre-filter in multi-stage systems. Operating temperature range is 40 to 180 degrees F with an initial pressure drop of less than 20 psi at 1 gpm.The CBC-10 fits any standard 10-inch by 2.5-inch filter housing and is used across residential, food service, commercial, and industrial applications. This 2-pack provides convenient replacement stock. Replace cartridges every 3 to 6 months or when a noticeable drop in water pressure or taste quality occurs. Certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for material requirements.

Review: Great filter for my 3 stage setup - I love these filters. I have a three stage setup in my RV. I use a 5 micron then a 1 micron and then this carbon block. The water tastes great or actually it doesn't taste like mud or whatever local nasty stuff is in the water. The water doesn't taste like like a high end battled water because they add salts for flavor. This thing removes almost all flavor. Its just plain clean water. I do get a pressure drop after all three filters but this carbon filter preforms better than any others I've tried. My shower isnt getting tons of water deposit anymore. I filled two bowls with water one filtered from my three stage and one unfiltered, covered them with paper towel and let them evaporate. The filtered bowl still had deposits but it was small and minimal, more like a film of dust at the bottom. The unfiltered had yellow/tan crystals that formed in the bottom. It looked like beach sand. If you wanted to try this but fast just boil 1/2 a cup of water in a pan until its all gone. Just make sure to watch it and dont let your pan burn! Some cites have deep wells where they get the water but its not always clean and sometimes doesn't pass regulations. Every once in a while when I change my filters I have chunks of nasty stuck to my first stage filter. sometimes it looks like metal and other times it looks like ectoplasmic residue from ghost busters. I could never drink city/well water. Some day I hope to setup a Reverse Osmosis so I can have clean water from almost any source. I love the water in Colorado but even that has salmon spawn in it :) After about 3-4 months I have to change my filters because they are clogged. My first two stages are heavy as rocks.
Review: Solid, does a good job - I got this to replace an old 7-stage cartridge for my under-sink filter. While it would take a miracle to make my municipal river-water tap water taste great, this filter does a fine job of making it drinkable and refreshing. My house still has some galvanized pipes that are rusty and impart noticeable odor and taste in my water. This filter does an effective job at removing this. Also my city makes the water smell like a swimming pool. That smell is 100% gone now. I bought this one over similarly-priced granulated carbon filters at Lowes for that extra level of protection offered by block carbon. It is built very sturdily and has a good weight to it. The micron filter on the outside feels high quality. Carbon block is a very basic but effective filtering method that won't remove everything but does a good job of general improvements to municipal crap water. I would recommend if you're on a budget and want to upgrade from Brita filters or need to swap out an old granulated carbon filter. I feel like the multi-stage filters do a better job and get out more metals and chemicals, but they cost 4x more than carbon and don't last long. I'm comfortable enough with this filter as a safety measure for better water.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Filter works well, but why the caveat emptor?
*by T***L on August 10, 2018*

This Pentek filter works great. I use an APEC RO system under the sink. It's a good RO system but the APEC system's second and third stages come with 10 micron filters and the water still has a taste. I replaced the third stage with this Pentek .5 micron and the water is noticeably cleaner tasting. I seriously haven't found better tasting water. However, I did notice a CA Prop. 65 Warning on the label: "This product contains chemicals known to the state of CA to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm." and also that it's "Made in China". Between the two it makes me nervous. And the label says "Not performance tested or certified by NSF" yet also says "This cartridge is tested and certified by NSF International under NAF/ANSI standard 42 for material requirement only".. SO...Which is it? This is not enough to knock a star off the rating but I do lose that peace of mind. I wish I knew what it was that Prop 65 was referring to, the carbon? plastic? Is it NSF tested or certified? I don't see other filters with disclaimers so why the caveat emptor for this one?
