The PCB carbon water filters are our premium line of coconut carbon block water filter cartridges, made with high-performance coconut shell carbon and advanced binders that prevent premature clogging—a common issue with lower-quality filters. These filters deliver low pressure drop, high dirt holding capacity, and outstanding contaminant reduction. With a nominal 0.5-micron rating, this model effectively removes cysts and parasites from the water supply. It excels at reducing chlorine, sediment, taste, and odor, and is engineered to eliminate 95% of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and PFAS ("forever chemicals").

Specifications

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 PCB10SM is a premium-grade, universal-sized carbon water filter cartridge engineered for demanding filtration applications. This 10-inch carbon filter features a 0.5-micron carbon block to remove microplastics, cysts, and fine particles with exceptional efficiency. With advanced chlorine and chemical adsorption properties, this water filter cartridge delivers crisp, clean water free from unpleasant tastes and odors.

Wide Range of Contaminant Removal
This 10-inch carbon filter cartridge is engineered to remove a wide range of contaminants. It's 0.5-micron carbon-block technology effectively targets chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), and trihalomethanes (THMs)—byproducts of chlorination. It also removes a broad spectrum of organic chemicals, such as pesticides, herbicides, and industrial solvents. The fine filtration capacity removes harmful cysts such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium, safeguarding your water supply against gastrointestinal risks.

Engineered to Eliminate Difficult Contaminants
Premium-grade activated hydrophilic carbon is combined with advanced binders to create a 0.5 micron carbon block filter cartridge with a smaller pore size, zero carbon fines, and enhanced adsorption capacity. This allows it to remove over 95% of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), outperforming typical CTO filters in its class.

Perfect fit for Undersink and Reverse Osmosis Systems
Reverse osmosis membranes struggle to remove chlorine, VOCs, PFAS, and other chemical contaminants, and are vulnerable to damage from chlorine and its byproducts. The universal 10-inch carbon filter cartridge with a 0.5-micron carbon block is the perfect prefilter for any RO system. It efficiently removes chlorine, chemicals, and fine particulates—helping to protect and extend the lifespan of your reverse osmosis membranes.

Very effective for removing fine particles and chlorine from our tap water. good flow rate and price.

These are some of the best carbon block filters we have used. Comparable to much more expensive brands like pentair. They are 9 7/8 inches tall so they dont have the fiting issue the chinese filters have.

These carbon blocks work really well. They remove even tiny impurities and make the water taste great. The seals fit my RO canisters perfectly so installation was simple and there were no leaks.

These are great carbon blocks and they remove all the micro stuff out of the water and it tastes great. We are using them in our undersink Pentek setup with a prefilter. They fit great!
