## Description

Pentair Pentek C Series Cartridges offer an economical solution for all your general-purpose water filtration needs. Constructed of a carbon impregnated cellulose media, these dual-purpose cartridges filter out fine sediment particles and reduce unwanted taste, odor, and chlorine taste & odor from your tap water. External netting provides additional strength and dirt-holding capacity. C Series Cartridges are available in a variety of sizes and are nominally rated at 5-microns. These dual-purpose cartridges are well suited for a wide range of residential applications, and make excellent polishing filters when used in process or closed-loop streams.

## Features

- DUAL-PURPOSE FILTRATION - One cartridge filters fine sediment and reduces unwanted taste, odor, and chlorine taste and odor from municipal tap water, an economical all-in-one carbon and sediment solution.
- FOR CHLORINATED WATER ONLY - Made from carbon-impregnated cellulose, this cartridge is for use in chlorinated (municipal or city) water supplies only; it is not recommended for non-chlorinated or well water.
- 10,000-GALLON CAPACITY - Rated at a nominal 5 microns, it delivers up to 10,000 gallons of filtration at a low 1 psi drop at 5 gpm; replace about every 3 months or when taste, odor, or flow change.
- FITS 20-INCH STANDARD HOUSINGS - Measures 20" x 2.5" and fits all 20-inch standard filter housings; drops in to replace any 20" x 2.5" carbon cartridge. Note the 2.5-inch diameter is not a Big Blue cartridge.
- ECONOMICAL POLISHING FILTER - A cost-effective general-purpose choice that also works well as a polishing filter in process or closed-loop streams; external netting adds strength and dirt-holding capacity.
