## Overview

The Pentair Pentek EPM-BB Big Blue Carbon Water Filter is a 10-inch whole house replacement cartridge featuring a 10 micron modified epsilon carbon block with bonded powdered activated carbon. Designed for high porosity to reduce clogging and maintain low pressure drop, it fits all standard 10" Big Blue housings and offers a 15,000 gallon filtration capacity. NSF certified, it effectively reduces chlorine, taste, odor, and sediment, delivering clean, fresh water throughout your home.

## Description

Pentair Pentek EPM Series Cartridges are a modified version of our EP Series Cartridge. An economical price makes this cartridge suitable for taste, odor and chlorine taste & odor reduction, as well as sediment filtration. EPM Series Cartridges are manufactured using a process that yields a cartridge with a nominal 10 filtration rating, high porosity and chlorine taste & odor reduction. The high porosity design helps the cartridge from plugging before its adsorption capability is exhausted, maximizing the utilization of the carbon while maintaining low pressure drop. These cartridges are protected by an outer wrap designed to significantly increase the useful life of the cartridge by trapping sediment that typically plugs carbon block cartridges.

Review: Drastically Cleans My Water - Works great. Cleans our water. It's really surprising how much sediment is in our water. I replace this yearly and it's dark brown when I switch it out.
Review: Been happily using this high-quality carbon filter for several years at the cottage - Been using this filter model for several years at the cottage, where we pump water out of the lake. Initially, I found that using this filter alone, the tiny algaes and whatnot in the lake water clogged the filter in a few days. I modified my setup to have two sediment filters first to screen out the junk, then this high-quality carbon filter. The sediment filters are Pentek DGD-5005 Spun Polypropylene Filter Cartridge, 10" x 4-1/2" , which screen out 50 micron and 5 micron sediment. The setup works great. Filling up the bathtub, the water is clear and odor-free. There is no discernable pressure drop when new. When the pressure drops after a month or so, changing the first sediment filter keeps things going for another few weeks. The carbon filter has to be changed about every two months.
