This is a Pentek LR-FB10 10″ carbon block water filter for lead, cyst, taste, and odor removal. LR-FB10 cartridges utilize a revolutionary new technology that significantly enhances the traditional Fibredyne product, making it possible to obtain cyst reduction in a cartridge that functions like a nominal 10-micron cartridge.
This product boasts extremely low-pressure drops and high flow rates – comparable to 10-micron (very open) carbon cartridges. Its efficiency is so high that a 0.5-micron rating is possible, so cysts and very small particles can be removed to create cleaner, safer water.
This product is ideal for applications where pressure drop and low flow have been chronic problems in the past, as well as whole house water treatment (using larger cartridges) with the addition of cyst reduction. However, it will address the needs of any end user looking for a product that offers high flow, low pressure drop, infrequent cartridge changes and cyst-free water.

Pentek LR-FB10 10″ Carbon Block Water Filter for Lead, Cyst Taste & Odor Removal Benefits:
- High flow rates and low-pressure drop similar to a nominal
10-micron cartridge - Maximum life – the dirt-holding ability of a 10-micron carbon block with the particulate efficiency of a 0.5-micron cartridge
Applications:
- Cyst reduction where low flow, high-pressure drop, or premature plugging has been problematic
- Areas where low water pressure has made cyst reduction
difficult due to high-pressure drops (low flow)
