Microguard

Summary

Product identification

The Pentair® Pentek® MicroGuard™ Series membrane filters provide safer and cleaner drinking water. The MG-10MCB model is designed with integral carbon block and sediment pre-filtration.

• Model #: MG-10MCB
• Part #: 255420-43
• EPA EST. NO.: 086074-NH-001

Features & Benefits

• Reduces particles as small as 0.15 micron in size by mechanical means.
• Membrane filtration provides 99.9999% reduction of bacteria and 99.9999% reduction of virus by mechanical means (based on manufacturer's internal testing).
• Combined carbon block and sediment pre-filtration for extended life and chlorine taste & odor reduction.
• Utilizes highly asymmetric polyethersulfone membrane with proprietary hydrophilic formulation for immediate wetting and high flow.
• Double O-ring endcap seals for absolute sealing in Pentair Pentek 3G housings.
• No electrical power required.
• Retains natural mineral content of water.
• The MG-10MCB has 2.5 times greater filtration surface area than some anti-microbial carbon blocks, and operates at a higher flow rate with lower pressure drop, making it ideal for Point-of-Use (POU) applications.
