Pentek - EPM-20 - 20" x 2.5" Modified Epsilon Carbon-Briquette 10 Micron Filter
EPM-20 Modified Epsilon Carbon Block Filter
Three-Layer Filtration Design
Endurawrap Pre-Filtration
Polyolefin bilaminate outer wrap traps sediment and particulates before they reach the carbon block, preventing premature clogging and extending cartridge life in high-sediment applications.
Modified Epsilon Carbon Block
High-porosity bonded PAC core provides nominal 10-micron filtration while reducing chlorine taste and odor. The open structure maintains low pressure drop even as the cartridge loads with contaminants.
Final Filtration Stage
Polyethylene netting support and polypropylene end caps ensure structural integrity under pressure while maintaining consistent water quality throughout the full service life.
Service life: 6,000 gallonsTechnical Details
| Model Number | EPM-20 |
| Dimensions | 20" x 2.5" |
| Micron Rating | 10 micron (nominal) |
| Filter Media | Bonded Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) |
| Outer Wrap | Endurawrap Polyolefin Bilaminate |
| End Caps | Polypropylene |
| Support Netting | Polyethylene |
| Temperature Range | 40°F to 180°F |
| Pressure Drop | 1.0 psi @ 2 GPM |
| Service Life | 6,000 gallons (typical) |
| Materials Compliance | FDA compliant |
Where It Fits
The EPM-20 fits standard 20-inch filter housings with 2.5-inch diameter cartridge capacity. It works in whole-house systems, well water applications, food service installations, and commercial or industrial settings where chlorine taste and odor reduction is needed alongside sediment filtration. The high-porosity design makes it particularly well-suited for municipal water sources with moderate sediment loads, and the FDA-compliant construction meets requirements for potable water contact in residential and commercial applications.
