## Overview

The Pentair Pentek EP-BB Big Blue Carbon Water Filter is a 10-inch whole-house replacement cartridge featuring a 5-micron extruded carbon block that excels in chlorine taste and odor reduction. Designed to fit all standard 10" Big Blue housings, it offers a high porosity structure to prevent clogging and extends filter life up to 22,000 gallons or 6 months. NSF certified for safety and performance, this cartridge ensures clean, great-tasting water throughout your home with minimal pressure loss.

## 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.

Review: does the job, reasonable price - It came before scheduled. It filtered well, can't say how long it would last as I had trouble with the well.
Review: Excellent filter! - I used this filter with a Pentair Big Blue housing as part of my water filtration system. Unfortunately, after plumbing was done and when I took the filter out, I discovered that the blue rim on one end of the filter was broken. The damage was not visible until I removed the filter from its packaging. This is not a defect of the filter itself; rather, desertcart needs to ship these filters more securely, perhaps with bubble wrap or additional protective packaging. Fortunately, desertcart made it easy to request a replacement. The replacement arrived without any defects, but it was still simply placed in a box without much protection, which could easily result in damage during shipping. As for the filter's performance, it has been exceptional. I experienced very little pressure loss—about 2 to 4 PSI at most. The filter is also NSF-certified, which was one of the main reasons I chose to purchase it. Overall, I am very satisfied with the product; my only concern is the inadequate packaging during shipping.

Pricey. Good for a year minimum on my kitchen sink. The Chloromine Reduction drops off first, but the taste improvement keeps going.
