Pentek - CBR2-10 - 10" x 2.5" Carbon Block Lead Reduction 0.5 Micron Filter
The Pentek CBR2-10 is a 10" x 2.5" carbon block filter engineered with a proprietary multimedia design that reduces lead, chlorine, cysts, and volatile organic chemicals down to 0.5 microns. Its Endurawrap pre-filter protects the carbon block from sediment plugging, extending cartridge life across multiple contaminant categories.
SPECIFICATIONS
Pentek CBR2-10 Technical Details
| Dimensions | 10 inches x 2.5 inches |
| Micron Rating | 0.5 microns |
| Filter Media | Bonded powdered activated carbon with lead adsorbent medium |
| Temperature Range | 40°F to 145°F |
| Pressure Drop | 15 psi @ 1 GPM |
| Capacity (Chlorine) | 20,000 gallons |
| Capacity (Lead) | 2,000 gallons @ 0.6 GPM |
| Cyst Reduction | > 99.95% (Giardia, Cryptosporidium, Entamoeba, Toxoplasma) |
INSTALLATION & USE
How to Install the CBR2-10 Filter
- Shut off water supply and relieve pressure from the filter housing before removing the old cartridge
- Remove the CBR2-10 from its packaging and inspect the Endurawrap outer layer for any damage during shipping
- Insert the CBR2-10 into a standard 10-inch filter housing, ensuring the cartridge seats properly against the housing base
- Hand-tighten the housing sump, turn water supply back on, and check for leaks around the housing O-ring
- Flush the cartridge for 5 minutes to remove any carbon fines before resuming normal use
COMPATIBILITY
Housing & Application Fit
The Pentek CBR2-10 fits all standard 10-inch x 2.5-inch filter housings and is compatible with both whole-house and reverse osmosis pre-filtration applications. This cartridge works in residential point-of-use systems, under-sink installations, and commercial filtration setups where lead reduction and cyst removal are required. Replace every 6-12 months depending on source water quality and contaminant load.
🔧 Pro Tip: Track your lead reduction capacity separately from chlorine capacity—the CBR2-10 removes chlorine for up to 20,000 gallons but is rated for lead reduction only up to 2,000 gallons at 0.6 GPM. If lead is your primary concern, replace the cartridge every 2,000 gallons regardless of chlorine taste performance.
