Designed for universal fit in all standard 20" x 2.5" housings, it offers a high porosity structure to maximize filter life and maintain optimal water flow. Certified by NSF and ANSI, it effectively reduces chlorine, taste, odor, and sediment with a robust 6,000-gallon capacity, making it an economical and reliable choice for superior water quality. ## Description Pentair Pentek EPM Series Cartridges are a modified version of our EP Series Cartridge. An economical price makes this cartridge suitable for taste, odor and chlorine taste & odor reduction, as well as sediment filtration. EPM Series Cartridges are manufactured using a process that yields a cartridge with a nominal 10 filtration rating, high porosity and chlorine taste & odor reduction. The high porosity design helps the cartridge from plugging before its adsorption capability is exhausted, maximizing the utilization of the carbon while maintaining low pressure drop. These cartridges are protected by an outer wrap designed to significantly increase the useful life of the cartridge by trapping sediment that typically plugs carbon block cartridges. Review: Very good quality - Exactly as described works well Review: Better water flow - I was using the 2-5 micron model and it restricted the flow where as this one works much better flow wise. ## Features - ECONOMICAL SOLUTION for chlorine, taste & odor reduction, as well as sediment filtration - FITS ALL 20" Standard housings and can replace any 20" x 2.5" carbon water filter cartridge - HIGH POROSITY DESIGN helps prevent plugging, maximizing utilization while maintaining low pressure drop - NSF INTERNATIONAL tested and certified for your peace of mind - 6,000 GALLON CAPACITY. Replace every 3 months or when you notice a drop in water pressure or water quality ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003HKDMU0 | | Best Sellers Rank | #21,832 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #167 in Replacement Under-Sink Water Filters | | Brand | Pentek | | Brand Name | Pentek | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 465 Reviews | | External Testing Certification | ANSI, NSF | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00051678635438 | | Included Components | Carbon Block Filter | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 3"D x 10"W x 20"H | | Item Type Name | EPM-20 Big Blue Carbon Water Filter, 20-Inch, Whole House Modified Epsilon Carbon Block Filter Cartridge with Bonded Powered Activated Carbon (PAC) Filter, 2.5" X 20", 10 Micron | | Item Weight | 1.79 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Pentair Industries | | Manufacturer Part Number | 155635-43 | | Material | Extruded Carbon Block | | Material Type | Extruded Carbon Block | | Model Number | EPM-20 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Benefits | Reduces Chlorine | | Product Dimensions | 3"D x 10"W x 20"H | | UPC | 807032972813 700999877972 798527288475 132017513089 115971035750 163120790524 851905131005 182682385474 648152269779 806294984541 809390003499 051678635438 808112760726 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **External Testing Certification:** ANSI, NSF - **Item Weight:** 1.79 Pounds - **Material:** Extruded Carbon Block - **Product Benefits:** Reduces Chlorine - **Product Dimensions:** 3"D x 10"W x 20"H ## Images ![Pentair Pentek EPM-20 Carbon Water Filter, 20-Inch, Whole House Modified Epsilon Carbon Block Replacement Cartridge with Bonded Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) Filter, 20" x 2.5", 10 Micron - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61LV3y3PssL.jpg) ![Pentair Pentek EPM-20 Carbon Water Filter, 20-Inch, Whole House Modified Epsilon Carbon Block Replacement Cartridge with Bonded Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) Filter, 20" x 2.5", 10 Micron - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31PtyCOoWcL.jpg) ![Pentair Pentek EPM-20 Carbon Water Filter, 20-Inch, Whole House Modified Epsilon Carbon Block Replacement Cartridge with Bonded Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) Filter, 20" x 2.5", 10 Micron - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Nl6X4thyL.jpg) ![Pentair Pentek EPM-20 Carbon Water Filter, 20-Inch, Whole House Modified Epsilon Carbon Block Replacement Cartridge with Bonded Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) Filter, 20" x 2.5", 10 Micron - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41MxdC-GIvL.jpg) ![Pentair Pentek EPM-20 Carbon Water Filter, 20-Inch, Whole House Modified Epsilon Carbon Block Replacement Cartridge with Bonded Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) Filter, 20" x 2.5", 10 Micron - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61qZ6hYaZ4L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good quality *by J***C on March 14, 2025* Exactly as described works well ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better water flow *by D***I on February 27, 2026* I was using the 2-5 micron model and it restricted the flow where as this one works much better flow wise. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ First In Line *by B***Z on November 3, 2024* When we moved into the house, I had a plumber install a water softener in the garage and a RO filter at the kitchen sink. Before everything, he installed the canister for this Big Blue filter. Our Phoenix suburb city water isn't bad, but we do have high content of dissolved solids and minerals because a blend of our water comes all the way from the Colorado river and everything it picks up along the way. I have to say that using this as a pre-filter has help eliminate any problems with the water softener mechanism and resin. When I do the ritual slight drain of the electric hot water tank, there is no sediment and the tank hasn't leaked so far after 16 years. The RO system filters and membrane have long life. As the number of people under roof have declined as empty nesters, I now change the filter about every 18 months. Simple to change, although my technique involves using two of the custom wrenches -- one pull and one to push to get the spinning started. I also keep the threads and seal properly lubricated. I have found that this same Pentek numbered carbon filter as originally came in the housing remains the one we need. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pentair Pentek EPM-20 Carbon Water Filter, 20-Inch, Whole House Modified Epsilon Carbon Block Replacement Cartridge with Bonded Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) Filter, 20" x 2.5", 10 Micron - Pentair Pentek DGD-5005-20 Big Blue Water Filter, 20-Inch Whole House Sediment Filter Cartridge Replacement, Dual-Gradient Density Spun Polypropylene, 20" x 4.5", 5 Micron, Pack of 6, White - Captain O-Ring - Replacement 151122 O-Rings Compatible with Pentair Pentek Big Blue Water Filters OEM Size ORing Buna-N (3 Pack) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/29412954-pentair-pentek-epm-20-carbon-water-filter-20-inch-whole](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/29412954-pentair-pentek-epm-20-carbon-water-filter-20-inch-whole) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-13*
