Summary
Product identification
Pentair® Pentek® CBC Series Carbon Block Cartridges.
These cartridges are designed to reduce unwanted bad taste & odor and chlorine taste & odor from potable drinking water. They are suitable for a wide range of residential, food service, commercial, and industrial applications, and can also serve as polishing filters or pre-filters in applications requiring fine filtration and high capacity.
Features
- Reduces particles as small as 0.5 micron in size by mechanical means.
- Reduces cysts such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia by mechanical means.
- Premium high capacity bad taste and odor, and chlorine taste & odor reduction.
- Enhanced dirt-holding capacity.
Materials of Construction
- Filter Media – Bonded PAC
- Endcaps – Polypropylene
- Inner/Outer Wrap – Polyolefin
- Netting – Polyethylene
- Gaskets – Santoprene
Operating limits
- Temperature Rating: 40-180°F (4.4-88.2°C)

Notes on Performance:
- Performance capacity depends on system design, flow rate, and certain other application conditions.
- Micron ratings are based on 85% or greater removal of a given particle size.
- Estimated capacity for chlorine reduction uses 2 ppm free available chlorine at 0.5 ppm breakthrough.
- Cartridges are capable of reducing 99.95% of Cryptosporidium and Giardia cysts.
- Cartridges may contain a very small amount of carbon fines (very fine black powder). After installation, follow the instructions for flushing the cartridge to remove the fines before using the water.
Certifications
- The CBC-10, CBC-20, CBC-BB, and CBC-20BB models are Tested and Certified by NSF International to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for material requirements only.
Warnings
- Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
