• String-wound design reduces fine sediment from a variety of fluids 

• Withstands temperatures up to 165° F (73.9° C) 

• Economically priced 

CW and WP Series cartridges are manufactured from a durable polypropylene cord that is wound around a 

rigid polypropylene core. They are an economical solution to reduce fine sediment, including sand, silt, rust 

and scale particles. CW cartridges are very economical and wound in a standard pattern around the core. 

They are available in 10, 30 and 50-micron ratings. WP Series cartridges are wound in a precise pattern 

around the core providing greater surface area. The result is higher dirt-loading capacity and greater 

efficiency than standard wound cartridges like the CW. 

Both of these string-wound cartridge styles are capable of withstanding temperatures up to 165° F (73.9°C), 

and will accommodate flow rates between 10 and 20 GPM (38lit./min. e 76 lit./min.) with minimal pressure 

drop. CW and WP Series cartridges are suitable for a wide variety of sediment filtration applications, 

including municipal and well water as well as many industrial fluids.

• Provides sediment filtration, bad taste & odor and chlorine taste & odor reduction* 

• High dirt-holding capacity 

• Available in three sizes and two micron ratings 

• Recommended for chlorinated water supplies 

C Series cartridges offer an economical solution for all of your general-purpose water filtration needs. 

Constructed of a carbon impregnated cellulose media, these dual-purpose cartridges filter out fine sediment 

particles and reduce unwanted taste, odor and chlorine taste and odor from your tap water.* A polyester 

reinforcement backing and external netting provide additional strength and dirt-loading capacity. C Series 

cartridges are available in three different sizes and two (2) different micron ratings. Both the C1 and C2 are 

nominally rated at 5-microns, the C8 is nominally rated at 1-micron. These dual-purpose cartridges are well 

suited for a wide range of residential applications, and make excellent polishing filters when used in 

process or closed-loop streams.

NCP SERIES NON-CELLULOSE CARBON IMPREGNATED PLEATED CARTRIDGES 

• Non-cellulose media resists bacterial attack. 

• Provides sediment filtration and chlorine taste & odor reduction. 

• Pleated for maximum dirt-loading capacity. 

• Nominal 10-micron rating. 

NCP Series cartridges are constructed from a carbonimpregnated non-cellulose media. They offer 

sediment-filtration, as well as taste, odor and chlorine taste and odor reduction in one cartridge. Unlike 

cellulose cartridges, NCP Series cartridges are resistant to bacterial attack allowing them to be used for 

municipal and nonchlorinated water applications. Pleats provide additional surface area for high dirt-loading 

capacity, while maintaining minimal pressure drop. This combination of a pleated polyester media and 

carbon filtration produces an outstanding filter cartridge with extended service life. NCP Series cartridges 

are excellent polishing filters, closed loop streams and are ideal for post reverse osmosis and well water 

applications. 

* Filtration efficiency and chlorine taste and odor reduction efficiency are reduced at higher flow rates. 

Chlorine taste and odor reduction based on greater than 50% reduction using 2ppm free chlorine feed 

concentration at 68ºF (20ºC) at continuous flow.

GAC SerieS granular activated carbon cartridges 

• effective bad taste & odor and chlorine taste & odor reduction* 

• designed for maximum adsorption 

• Post-Filter to reduce carbon fines 

• Available in a variety of sizes and flow rates 

GAC Series cartridges effectively reduce unwanted tastes, odor and chlorine taste & odor from your 

drinking water.* They are designed to allow maximum contact between the water and carbon, ensuring 

maximum adsorption. The construction of the cartridge allows water to enter at one end and pass through 

the entire length of the carbon bed before exiting the other end of the cartridge, while an internal expansion 

pad minimizes channeling or bypass. Before the water exits the cartridge, a 20-micron post filter helps 

reduce carbon fines and other suspended particles from the filtered water. The post-filter is permanently 

fastened to an innovative support basket ensuring that it is firmly secured and eliminating any potential for 

bypass. GAC Series cartridges are available in a variety of sizes and flow rates, and effectively provide 

good general-purpose drinking water filtration.

EPM series modified epsilon carbon-briquette cartridge. 

• Nominal 10-micron rating* 

• Enhanced dirt holding capacity for extended cartridge life* 

• Bad taste & odor and chlorine taste & odor reduction* 

• Lowest pressure drop 


EPM Series cartridges are a modified version of our EP Series cartridge. An economical price makes this 

cartridge suitable for taste, odor and chlorine taste & odor reduction, as well as sediment filtration.* EPM 

Series cartridges are manufactured using a patented process that yields a cartridge with a nominal 

10-micron filtration rating, high porosity and chlorine taste & odor reduction. The high porosity design helps 

prevent the cartridge from plugging before its adsorption capability is exhausted, maximizing the utilization 

of the carbon while maintaining low pressure drop. These cartridges are protected by Endurawrap®, a 

uniquely formulated polyolefin bilaminate pre-filter, designed to significantly increase the useful life of the 

cartridge by trapping sediment that typically plugs carbon block cartridges. EPM Series cartridges are 

manufactured entirely from FDA-compliant materials making them an ideal choice for a wide range of 

residential, food service, commercial and industrial applications. *Based on manufacturer’s internal testing.

PCF SERIES MIXED BED DEIONIZATION CARTRIDGES 

• Designed for deionizing water up to 16 megohms. 

• All materials and construction are FDA-compliant. 

• Three sizes and capacities. 

PCF Series filter cartridges have been developed in response to the requirements for deionized water in 

many industries. 

They are manufactured using an FDA-compliant resin that has been subjected to additional post-production 

steps to minimize the total organic carbon (TOC) level. 

These high-capacity, semi-conductor-grade resin cartridges are ideal for use in pharmaceutical and medical 

laboratories, cosmetics, and circuit board printing applications. 

PCF Series cartridges are available in three sizes, flow rates and capacities. They are convenient and cost 

effective for many applications where low levels of total organic carbon (TOC) and total dissolved solids 

(TDS) are required. 

Applications: 

• Circuit board printing • Pharmaceutical use • Steam and humidification • Cosmetics • Steam processors • 

Humidification systems • Recirculating/cooling towers • Power generating equipment • Medical/laboratory 

use • Lasers • Jet water sprayers • Boiler make-up water

This Pentek GS-10CAL/RO-B Inline Filter Cartridge Replacement is a 10" combination in-line filter 

composed of coconut shell granular activated carbon (GAC) and calcite. It can be utilized in various 

applications to correct low pH levels, polish water, brew better tasting coffee, tea, or other beverages (or in 

numerous other food service applications), as a post filter in many reverse osmosis systems, and more. It 

reduces the bad taste and odor of chlorine as well as sediment and increases the pH level of water via the 

re-mineralization of soft, acidic, or low pH water - calcite is a natural mineral which dissolves in acidic water 

to raise its pH to neutral.
