Key Benefits

• Improves water taste and odor by reducing chlorine and other chemicals
• Protects your water softener and appliances from sediment and particulate buildup

How It Works

The EP-BB Pentek Carbon Briquette Big Blue 10" filter cartridge uses activated carbon briquettes to adsorb chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other contaminants from your water supply. As water flows through the carbon media, impurities adhere to the surface of the briquettes, effectively reducing unpleasant tastes and odors.

This process not only improves water quality but also protects downstream equipment such as water softeners and household appliances by minimizing sediment and chemical exposure. The large capacity of the Big Blue cartridge supports higher flow rates, making it ideal for whole-house filtration systems.

What to Expect

Immediately after installation, you’ll notice fresher, cleaner water with reduced chlorine taste and smell. Over the first few days and weeks, the carbon briquette media will continue to remove additional organic compounds and impurities, enhancing water clarity and quality.

With proper maintenance and timely cartridge replacement, this filter provides reliable performance over its service life. Regular inspection ensures your water treatment system operates efficiently and your water remains consistently clean.

What’s Inside

• Activated Carbon Briquettes – High-density media for superior adsorption of chlorine, VOCs, and odors
• Polypropylene Core – Provides structural support and prevents media migration
• Durable Outer Wrap – Ensures even water flow and protects carbon integrity
