Summary
Product identification
Pentair® Pentek® NCP Series Cartridges are non-cellulose, carbon-impregnated pleated cartridges designed for sediment filtration and the reduction of taste, odor, and chlorine taste & odor. They feature a pleated design for high dirt loading capacity while maintaining minimal pressure drop.
These cartridges are suitable for municipal and non-chlorinated water applications, serving as excellent polishing filters for closed-loop streams, post-reverse osmosis, and well water applications.

- Filtration efficiency and chlorine taste & odor reduction efficiency are reduced at higher flow rates.
- Chlorine taste & odor reduction is based on greater than 50% reduction using 2 ppm free chlorine feed concentration at 68°F (20°C) at continuous flow.
Warning: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
