Pentek - PCC-1 - 9-5/8" x 2-7/8" Poly Phosphate Crystals - Scale Inhibitor Cartridge Filter
Pentek PCC-1 Key Specs
Complete Filter Specifications
| Model Number | Pentek PCC-1 |
| Housing Compatibility | Standard 10" x 2.5" (Pentek #10 Standard) |
| Filter Media Type | Sodium calcium hexametaphosphate crystal with polypropylene post-filter |
| Maximum Flow Rate | 5 gallons per minute |
| Operating Temperature | 40–100°F (4.4–37.8°C) |
| Cartridge Dimensions | 9-5/8" height x 2-7/8" diameter (244 x 73 mm) |
| End Cap Gaskets | Nitrile butadiene rubber (Buna-N) |
Where the PCC-1 Fits
The Pentek PCC-1 scale inhibitor cartridge installs in any standard 10-inch filter housing with 2.5-inch diameter capacity, making it compatible with whole-house systems, point-of-use installations, and RO pre-filtration setups. It's commonly deployed in ice machines, food service equipment, evaporative coolers, air conditioners, boilers, and any application where dissolved minerals cause scale deposits or where iron precipitation is a concern. The polyphosphate sequestering action keeps calcium, magnesium, and iron in solution rather than allowing them to plate out on heating elements, heat exchangers, and plumbing fixtures. This cartridge is not a softener and does not remove hardness minerals—it prevents them from forming visible scale while they remain in the water.
