Carbon block filters are advanced water filtration components crafted by compressing premium coconut shell carbon into a dense, microporous block. This structure maximizes surface area and contact time, enabling the filter to efficiently remove a wide range of contaminants—including chlorine, chlorine byproducts, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), chemicals, tastes, odors, and particulates—while delivering high dirt-holding capacity and maintaining strong performance at elevated flow rates. The hydrophilic carbon in our PCB filters is surface-modified to enhance adsorption of dissolved substances, resulting in cleaner, better-tasting water.

By combining mechanical filtration, physical adsorption, and chemical reactions, these innovative filters excel at removing harmful pollutants and are manufactured using advanced techniques to ensure exceptional quality and consistency. Their versatility makes them ideal for standard under-sink and whole-house filtration setups and a must-have pre-filter in reverse osmosis (RO) systems, helping prevent membrane fouling caused by chlorination.  

The PCB carbon block water filter is designed to effectively remove various contaminants from water, including sediment, chlorine, chlorine byproducts, pesticides, herbicides, PFOS, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The models rated at 0.5 nominal microns are also capable of removing most bacteria, cysts, and Giardia.

This filter model has been formulated and tested to eliminate over 95% of VOCs and PFAS from the water supply.

Measuring 2.75 x 9.8 inches (70 mm x 250 mm), this filter fits most universal 10-inch housings from leading brands like Watts, Pentek (including slimline), iSpring, Culligan, EcoPure, SimPure, and Hydronix. It is not compatible with Rainfresh models, which require proprietary filters. For best results, consult the compatibility chart in the main images before purchasing.

Exceptional Performance Water Filter Cartridge
The PCB1005 is a premium water filter cartridge designed for superior performance in demanding filtration environments. This universal 10-inch carbon filter utilizes a 5-micron carbon block to efficiently capture microplastics and fine particles, even at high flow rates, while maintaining minimal pressure drop. As an ideal prefilter for reverse osmosis systems, it protects your membranes and extends system life. Its advanced chlorine and chemical adsorption capabilities ensure consistently fresh, great-tasting water, free from unwanted odors.


Wide Range of Contaminant Removal
Engineered for maximum contaminant removal, this 10-inch carbon filter cartridge utilizes advanced carbon block technology to effectively reduce chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), and trihalomethanes (THMs)—common byproducts of chlorination. In addition, it reliably eliminates a wide range of organic chemicals, including pesticides, herbicides, and industrial solvents, ensuring safer and cleaner water for your home or business.

 

Engineered to Eliminate Difficult Contaminants
Crafted with premium activated hydrophilic carbon and advanced binders, this 5-micron carbon block water filter cartridge features a fine-pore structure, zero carbon fines, and superior adsorption capacity. As a result, it removes more than 95% of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and PFAS, delivering contaminant removal performance that surpasses standard CTO filters.

 

Perfect prefilter for Reverse Osmosis Systems
Reverse osmosis membranes are susceptible to damage from chlorine and other persistent chemical contaminants, limiting their effectiveness and lifespan. By installing a universal 10-inch carbon filter cartridge equipped with a 5-micron carbon block as a prefilter, you significantly boost your system’s protection. This cartridge excels at removing chlorine, chemicals, and fine particulates, safeguarding your RO membranes and ensuring optimal performance over time.
