Pentek - RFC-20 - 20" x 2.5" Radial Flow Carbon 25 Micron Filter
Pentek RFC-20 Core Specs
Construction & Performance Data
| Model Number | RFC-20 (Pentek 1316) |
| Filter Media | Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) with polypropylene core |
| Outer Shell | 70-micron porous polyethylene |
| End Caps | Durable polypropylene |
| Primary Contaminants | Chlorine taste and odor |
| Initial Pressure Drop | 0.90 psi at 2 gpm flow rate |
| Design Type | Radial flow with carbon fines reduction |
Ideal Uses for the RFC-20
The Pentek RFC-20 radial flow carbon filter is designed for point-of-entry whole house filtration systems and well water applications where high flow rates and carbon fines reduction are priorities. It fits standard 20" x 2.5" filter housings and is particularly effective in applications requiring chlorine taste and odor removal without the carbon dust commonly released by traditional GAC cartridges. The radial flow design allows water to flow from the outside shell through the carbon bed and into the polypropylene core, maximizing contact time while maintaining low pressure drop. Recommended for municipal water supplies with chlorine, residential well systems, and any high-flow application where taste and odor control is needed.
