The
Pentek EPM-10 Water Filter (Part #155634-43) is a high-performance carbon block filter designed to improve drinking water quality by reducing chlorine taste, odor, and capturing fine sediment. This 10-micron cartridge is built with bonded powdered activated carbon (PAC) media to provide superior adsorption of chlorine and other taste/odor causing compounds while also removing particulate matter.
The filter features a pre-filter wrap (Endurawrap®) that captures larger sediment particles before they reach the carbon block, extending the cartridge life and maintaining flow. This combination makes it ideal for under-sink drinking water systems, reverse osmosis pre-filtration, and point-of-use systems where both sediment reduction and taste/odor improvement are desired.
The compact design fits most standard
10" x 2.5" filter housings, making installation simple for residential and commercial applications.

When to Replace
For optimal performance, the
Pentek EPM-10 carbon block filter should typically be replaced every
6 to 12 months, depending on water usage and quality.
Regular replacement ensures continued reduction of chlorine taste and odor, maintains proper flow rate, and protects downstream filters from sediment buildup.
