EP SERIES Carbon-Briquette Cartridges
EP Series cartridges are versatile and combine the long life of carbon block filtration with the higher dirt holding capacity of wound, carbon impregnated paper cartridges like our C-1.
EP Series cartridges are manufactured using a patented process that yields a cartridge with a nominal 5-micron filtration rating, high dirt-holding capacity. A high porosity design helps prevent the cartridge from plugging before its adsorption capacity is exhausted, maximizing the utilization of the carbon while maintaining low-pressure drop.
Endurawrap™, a uniquely formulated polyolefin bilaminate pre-filter, designed to significantly increase the useful life of the cartridge by trapping sediment that typically plugs carbon block cartridges, protects these cartridges.
EP Series cartridges are manufactured entirely from FDA compliant materials making them an ideal choice for a wide range of residential, food service, commercial and industrial applications.
➣ Nominal 5-micron rating
➣ High dirt-holding capacity maximizes utilization of the carbon block
➣ Highly effective bad taste & odor and chlorine taste & odor reduction
