Summary
Product identification
Pentek UDS/DBC series cartridges are enhanced with KDF media to inhibit scale buildup. They are constructed of high-performance granular activated coconut shell carbon and a 5-micron spun-bonded polypropylene post-sediment element for increased dirt-holding capacity.
- EPA EST. NO.: 082989-CHN-001
- Filter Media: Coconut shell carbon, KDF media, 5-micron spun-bonded polypropylene
- Body Construction: High-grade polypropylene or polystyrene
- Assembly: Spin and sonic welding for a uniform hermetic seal
- Features: High-capacity, dirt-holding design; effective for chlorine taste and odor reduction in high-capacity situations and where lime and scale buildup problems occur.
- Applications: Suitable for reverse osmosis, distillation, bottle-less coolers, and other water-dispensing appliances.
- Compatibility: Designed to fit almost all standard housings (UDS-10EX1) and Big Blue housings (DBC-10EX2).
Operating limits
- Temperature Rating: 40–125°F (4.4–51.7°C)
- Maximum Pressure: 125 psi
