This is a Pentek C1-20 Series dual purpose 20″ x 2-1/2″ 5 micron carbon cartridge.
C Series cartridges offer an economical solution for all of your general-purpose water filtration needs. Constructed of a carbon-impregnated cellulose media, these dual-purpose cartridges filter out fine sediment particles and reduce unwanted taste, odor, and chlorine taste and odor from your tap water.* A polyester reinforcement backing and external netting provide additional strength and dirt-loading capacity.
C Series cartridges are available in three different sizes and two (2) different micron ratings. Both the C1 and C2 are nominally rated at 5-microns, the C8 is nominally rated at 1-micron.
These dual-purpose cartridges are well suited for a wide range of residential applications, and make excellent polishing filters when used in process or closed-loop streams.
