Engineered with a bonded powdered activated carbon block and a polyolefin pre-filter, it ensures extended cartridge life and low pressure drop (1.7 psi at 1 gpm). Certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 42, this 9.75" x 2.89" cartridge fits standard 10-inch housings, making it ideal for residential and commercial water purification needs. ## Description Pentair Pentek EP-10 cartridges are manufactured using a process that yields a carbon block with a nominal 5 micron filtration rating and high dirt-holding capacity, for cleaner, better-tasting drinking water. A high-porosity design maximizes the utilization of the carbon while maintaining low pressure drop, just 1.7 psi at 1.0 gpm, so the cartridge keeps working before its adsorption capacity is exhausted.Each cartridge is 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. The block is built from bonded powdered activated carbon with polypropylene end caps, a polyolefin outer wrap, polyethylene netting, and TPE/Santoprene gaskets, and it is rated for 40 to 180 degrees F. The EP-10 is tested and certified by NSF International to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for material requirements.This 9.75" x 2.89" cartridge fits standard 10-inch housings and makes an ideal choice for residential, food service, commercial, and industrial applications. It reduces chlorine taste and odor for more than 6,000 gallons at 1.0 gpm. ## Features - Reduces fine sediment and chlorine taste and odor in residential and commercial drinking water - Nominal filtration rating of 5 microns - Bonded PAC media with polyolefin pre-filter and polyethylene netting for extended life - Initial pressure drop of 3.4 psi at a flow rate of 1 gpm - Temperature range of 40 to 180 degrees F (4.4 to 82.2 degrees C) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0031O95KS | | Best Sellers Rank | #408,717 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) #3,329 in Water Purifier Accessories | | Brand | pentek | | Country of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (239) | | Enclosure Material | Extruded Carbon Block | | External Testing Certification | NSF/ANSI Standard 42 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00051678531433 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 6.4D x 6.4W x 25.4H Centimeters | | Item Weight | 240 g | | Manufacturer | small parts | | Manufacturer Part Number | 155531-43 | | Model number | 1/2” 3G Slim Line BSP | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Benefits | Reduces fine sediment and chlorine for cleaner, better-tasting water | | UPC | 182682388017 051678531433 807032972769 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **External Testing Certification:** NSF/ANSI Standard 42 - **Item Weight:** 240 g - **Material:** Extruded Carbon Block - **Product Benefits:** Reduces fine sediment and chlorine for cleaner, better-tasting water - **Product Dimensions:** 6.4D x 6.4W x 25.4H Centimeters ## Images ![Pentek EP-10 Carbon Block Filter Cartridge, 9-3/4" x 2-7/8", 5 Microns - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31yWmSUkA6L.jpg) ![Pentek EP-10 Carbon Block Filter Cartridge, 9-3/4" x 2-7/8", 5 Microns - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/517IL9S27DL.jpg) ![Pentek EP-10 Carbon Block Filter Cartridge, 9-3/4" x 2-7/8", 5 Microns - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41aLEFNDQZL.jpg) ![Pentek EP-10 Carbon Block Filter Cartridge, 9-3/4" x 2-7/8", 5 Microns - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41yn9W58lML.jpg) ![Pentek EP-10 Carbon Block Filter Cartridge, 9-3/4" x 2-7/8", 5 Microns - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/514N6lFxqeL.jpg) ## Frequently Bought Together - Pentair Pentek EP-10 Carbon Water Filter, 10-Inch, Under Sink Carbon Block Replacement Cartridge with Bonded Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) Filter, 10" x 2.5", 5 Micron - Captain O-Ring - Replacement 151122 O-Rings Compatible with Pentair Pentek Big Blue Water Filters OEM Size ORing Buna-N (3 Pack) - Pentair Pentek DGD-5005-20 Big Blue Water Filter, 20-Inch Whole House Sediment Filter Cartridge Replacement, Dual-Gradient Density Spun Polypropylene, 20" x 4.5", 5 Micron, (Pack of 2), White --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/444670348-pentek-ep-10-carbon-block-filter-cartridge-9-3-4](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/444670348-pentek-ep-10-carbon-block-filter-cartridge-9-3-4) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-10-09*
