About this product

The Pentek 10-Micron Replacement Carbon Block Cartridge offers a balanced mix of performance, longevity, and value.

The Pentek 10-Micron Replacement Carbon Block Cartridge (Model/Part # 155634-43) delivers cleaner, better-tasting water by removing sediment, chlorine, bad tastes, and odors, while keeping flow efficient and extending filter life. Its high-porosity carbon block resists clogging and maximizes adsorption performance throughout its service life.

Why Choose This Cartridge?

Outstanding Sediment & Chlorine Reduction: Effectively filters sediment, dirt, rust particles, bad taste & odor, and chlorine.
High Dirt-Holding Capacity: High porosity blocks contaminants from plugging, maximizing carbon usage.
Endurawrap® Protective Outer Layer: A proprietary pre-filter layer traps large debris to extend cartridge life.
FDA‑Compliant Materials: Safe for residential, food service, commercial, and industrial applications.
Excellent Value: Modified from the EP Series, the EPM offers top-tier performance at a more budget-friendly price point for equivalent results.

Installation tips

Ensure your filter housing is a standard 10″ (2.5″ diameter) or SlimLine Ten-inch housing. EPM-10 is widely compatible.
Flush the filter for a few minutes before first use to remove any carbon fines.
Replace cartridge regularly — typically every 6–12 months depending on water quality and usage.
For high sediment water (rust, dirt), consider a pre-sediment filter before the carbon block to prolong life.
Monitor flow rate: a noticeable drop may indicate cartridge is near capacity — time to replace.

Frequently asked questions

What does “nominal 10 micron” mean?
A nominal 10‑micron rating means the filter removes the majority of particles 10 microns or larger—ideal for typical sediment and particulate contamination.

Will it reduce chlorine and tastes/odors?
Yes, the activated carbon block is engineered for bad taste & odor and chlorine taste & odor reduction, in addition to sediment filtration.

How long does the cartridge last?
The high porosity design and Endurawrap® layer help extend life by preventing premature plugging. Replace based on your usage, typically every 6–12 months or per water usage and quality.

Is it compatible with my system?
It fits most 10″ standard RO systems.

Can I use this for commercial or industrial systems? Absolutely. It’s built with FDA‑compliant materials and is suitable across residential, food service, commercial, and industrial applications.
