Pentek - EPM-10 - 10" x 2.5" Modified Epsilon Carbon-Briquette 10 Micron Filter

The Pentek EPM-10 combines reliable 10-micron carbon block filtration with a high-porosity design that resists premature plugging. Its Endurawrap protective pre-filter extends cartridge life by trapping sediment before it clogs the carbon media, making it ideal for chlorine, taste, and odor reduction in residential and commercial applications.

INSTALLATION & USE

How to Install the EPM-10 Cartridge

  1. Shut off water supply and relieve pressure from the filter housing by opening a downstream faucet or using the pressure release button if equipped.
  2. Unscrew the housing sump using a filter wrench, remove the old cartridge, and clean the housing interior and o-ring with warm water.
  3. Insert the new Pentek EPM-10 cartridge into the housing, ensuring it seats properly on the center standpipe.
  4. Reinstall the housing sump with a lubricated o-ring, hand-tighten firmly, then turn on water and check for leaks.
  5. Flush the cartridge for 3-5 minutes to remove carbon fines before resuming normal use.
COMPATIBILITY

Housing & Application Compatibility

The Pentek EPM-10 fits all standard 10-inch filter housings designed for 2.5-inch diameter cartridges. It works in both whole-house and point-of-use applications including under-sink systems, RO pre-filtration stages, refrigerator lines, and commercial food service equipment. Compatible with Pentek, Ametek, Culligan, and other housings accepting 10" x 2.5" cartridges. Suitable for municipal and well water where sediment and chlorine reduction are priorities.

🔧 Pro Tip: The Endurawrap pre-filter adds life, but if you have heavy sediment, install a 5-micron sediment cartridge upstream to maximize the EPM-10's carbon adsorption capacity and prevent early plugging.
