C-8

Summary

Product identification

The Pentair Pentek C8 Series Cartridge is a dual-purpose powder-activated carbon cartridge designed for general-purpose water filtration needs. It offers an economical solution for a wide range of residential applications.

Key features:

• Nominal 1 micron rating
• Basic chlorine reduction at an economic value
• Both chlorine and sediment reduction
• High dirt-holding capacity
• High flow rates possible due to low initial pressure drop

Materials of Construction

• Filter Media: PAC impregnated cellulose
• Endcaps: Polypropylene
• Outer Wrap: Polyolefin
• Netting: Polyethylene
• Core: Polypropylene
• Reinforcement backing: Polyester
• Gasket: Buna-N®

Operating limits

• Temperature Rating: 40-145°F (4.4-62.8°C)

Performance Specifications

• Model #: C8
• Part #: 155220-43
• Maximum Dimensions: 2.63" x 9.75" (67 mm x 248 mm)
• Rating (Nominal): 1 micron
• Initial ΔP (PSI) @ Flow Rate (GPM): 5 psi @ 5 gpm (0.34 bar @ 19 Lpm)
• Chlorine Taste & Odor Reduction: >8,000 gallons @ 1 gpm (>30,283 L @ 3.8 Lpm)

Notes:

• Increased flow rates may result in less effective chlorine reduction.
• Some harmless bacteria will attack cellulose media cartridges. If a cartridge seems to disintegrate or has a musty or moldy odor, switch to a synthetic media cartridge or consult the manufacturer.
• Estimated capacity tested at given flow rate using 2 ppm free available chlorine to 0.5 ppm breakthrough.
• WARNING: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
