Pentek - EPM-20BB - 20" x 4.5" Modified Epsilon Carbon-Briquette 10 Micron Filter

The Pentek EPM-20BB delivers economical whole-house filtration with modified epsilon carbon-briquette technology that balances sediment removal, chlorine reduction, and high flow capacity in a 20" x 4.5" cartridge. Endurawrap polyolefin pre-filter protection extends service life by trapping sediment before it clogs the carbon block, maximizing the full 30,000-gallon capacity.

INSTALLATION & USE

Installing Your EPM-20BB Filter

  1. Shut off water supply and relieve pressure from your 20" Big Blue housing by opening a downstream faucet
  2. Unscrew housing sump, remove old cartridge, and clean sump interior with mild soap and water
  3. Insert the EPM-20BB cartridge into the housing with the Endurawrap side facing outward, ensuring proper seal with the housing cap
  4. Reinstall sump hand-tight, turn water supply back on slowly, and check for leaks around the housing o-ring
  5. Flush the new cartridge for 5 minutes to remove any carbon fines and activate the media
COMPATIBILITY

Housing & Application Fit

The Pentek EPM-20BB fits all standard 20-inch Big Blue filter housings with 4.5" diameter capacity, including Pentek, Culligan, and most major brands. This cartridge is designed for whole-house, well water, and commercial applications where economical chlorine taste and odor reduction is needed alongside sediment filtration. The high-porosity carbon block construction maintains flow rates suitable for residential and light commercial installations while the Endurawrap pre-filter extends service life in moderate to heavy sediment conditions.

🔧 Pro Tip: Mark your calendar when you install the EPM-20BB. Even if pressure remains normal, replace at 30,000 gallons or 12 months to prevent channeling and ensure consistent chlorine reduction throughout the cartridge's service life.
