INSTALLATION & USE

Installing Your CBC-10 Carbon Block

  1. Turn off water supply and relieve system pressure before removing the old filter from your 10" x 2.5" standard housing.
  2. Remove the CBC-10 from packaging and inspect the carbon block for any shipping damage. Check that o-rings on the housing are in good condition.
  3. Insert the CBC-10 into the filter housing, ensuring it seats properly at the base. Hand-tighten the housing onto the cap.
  4. Turn water supply back on slowly and check for leaks. Flush the filter for 5 minutes to purge carbon fines before use.
  5. Replace the CBC-10 every 6-12 months or when you notice reduced flow rate or taste and odor breakthrough, whichever comes first.
COMPATIBILITY

Where the CBC-10 Fits

The Pentek CBC-10 fits any standard 10-inch filter housing designed for 2.5-inch diameter cartridges. It works as a standalone filter for whole-house sediment and chlorine reduction, as a pre-filter upstream of RO membranes and UV systems, or as a polishing filter in multi-stage residential and commercial water treatment applications. Compatible with Pentek, Culligan, Omnifilter, and other brands using the 10" x 2.5" standard size. Ideal for city water, well water, food service, and light commercial installations where both particulate and chemical reduction are required.

🔧 Pro Tip: Always flush the CBC-10 for at least 5 minutes after installation to clear carbon fines. If you're using this as an RO pre-filter, monitor your pressure gauge—when the drop exceeds 10 psi, it's time to replace the cartridge even if you haven't hit the 6-month mark.
