NCP Series Non-Cellulose Carbon-Impregnated Pleated Cartridges

NCP Series cartridges are constructed from a carbon-impregnated non-cellulose media. They offer sediment filtration, as well as taste, odor, and chlorine taste & odor reduction in one cartridge. Unlike cellulose cartridges, NCP Series cartridges are resistant to bacterial attack allowing them to be used for municipal and non-chlorinated water applications.

Pleats provide additional surface area for high dirt-loading capacity while maintaining minimal pressure drop. This combination of a pleated polyester media and carbon filtration produces an outstanding filter cartridge with extended service life.

NCP Series cartridges are excellent polishing filters for closed-loop streams and are ideal for post reverse osmosis and well water applications.

Features, Options & Benefits


• Non-cellulose media resists bacterial attack
• Provides sediment filtration and chlorine taste & odor reduction
• Pleated for maximum dirt-loading capacity
• Nominal 10-micron rating



CBC Series Carbon-Briquette Cartridges

EP Series Carbon Briquette Cartridges

EP Series carbon briquette cartridges are manufactured using a patented process that yields a cartridge with 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 bi-laminate pre-filter, designed to significantly increase the useful life of the cartridge by trapping sediment that typically plugs carbon block cartridges.

Features, Options, Benefits


• Nominal 5-micron rating
• High dirt-holding capacity maximizes utilization of the carbon block
• Highly effective bad taste & odor and chlorine taste & odor reduction

Chloramines Reduction Carbon Cartridges

PENTEK® offers multiple product solutions for chloramines reduction. Chloramines is increasingly becoming more common as an alternative to chlorine for water treatment.

The ChlorPlus® carbon block cartridges help reduce sediment while providing greater chloramines performance capacities than granular carbon. They also significantly reduce the carbon fines found in many granular canisters.
The CRFC20-BB heavy duty radial flow cartridge measures 4-1/2" in diameter and 20 inches long, which is ideal for higher flow rate and capacity applications. This cartridge incorporates a 70-micron porous polypropylene outer shell and a spun polypropylene-wrapped core. The bed of granular activated carbon (GAC) between the outer shell and core creates a unique radial flow design which effectively removes chloramines, has a low pressure drop, and helps to reduce fines commonly seen in GAC-style cartridges.

Features, Options, & Benefits


• Superior chloramines and chlorine reduction
• CRFC20-BB Radial Flow
• ChlorPlus® Series Carbon Briquette

CFB Series Modified Molded Block Cartridges

CFB Series cartridges provide the effective chlorine taste & odor reduction found in traditional carbon block media while offering excellent sediment reduction capabilities.

CFB Series products are a modified molded block created by use of our proprietary Fibredyne® technology. This technology creates a unique filter media by attaching powdered activated carbon onto a cellulose-free synthetic fiber matrix. The result is a single cartridge that combines the benefits of both a sediment filter and a carbon block into a single cartridge. Fibredyne's carbon block technology also offers up to two times the chlorine taste & odor reduction and dirt-holding capacity of traditional blocks. In addition, this technology will not release fines into the effluent stream due to a unique post-filtration layer that is fused to carbon/fiber media blend.

Features, Options & Benefits


• Nominal 10-micron rating
• Excellent dirt-holding capacity
• High chlorine taste & odor and bad taste & odor reduction
• Economic choice for high sediment applications leading to premature plugging
