## Overview

The Pentair Pentek C2 is a compact, dual-purpose carbon water filter cartridge designed for standard 5-inch housings. It effectively removes fine sediment down to 5 microns while reducing chlorine taste and odor, delivering over 2,500 gallons of clean water at a steady flow with minimal pressure drop. Built with durable materials, it ensures reliable residential filtration performance and easy replacement every three months.

## Description

The Pentair Pentek C2 is a dual-purpose carbon water filter cartridge engineered for standard 5-inch housings. Its powdered activated carbon-impregnated cellulose media performs double duty, capturing fine sediment particles down to 5 microns while reducing chlorine, unwanted taste, and odor from residential water supplies. This compact cartridge measures 2.5" x 4.88" and drops directly into any compatible housing without adapters or modifications.With a chlorine reduction capacity exceeding 2,500 gallons at 0.5 gpm, the C2 delivers reliable performance between replacements. The filter operates in water temperatures from 40 to 125 degrees F and produces only 2 psi of pressure drop at 2 gpm, so water flow remains strong at the tap. Durable vinyl plastisol endcaps, polyethylene netting, and a polypropylene core provide dependable construction for everyday residential use.For best results, replace the C2 cartridge every three months or sooner if you notice a decline in water pressure or a change in taste. The C2 also serves as an effective polishing filter in process filtration or closed-loop applications where fine particle reduction and taste improvement are needed.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this tha same as am. plumber w5cip478?**
A: Yes, this is the same filter, it just has a different brand name on the label.   Both brands (American Plumber and Pentek) are owned by Pentair.

**Q: What size are the inlet and outlet nipples?**
A: I really don't know.  They fit the filter canister that I bought from my plumber.

**Q: I have a model ccf-201 ametek filter system.  what filter will be great to replace the cartridges with?**
A: Probably best to go to the manufacturer's website and see what they recommend

**Q: What is the carbon made from? What is the cellulose powder made from?**
A: We use the C1-20 Carbon filter in our ware treatment system for our summer cabin. It is one of 4 filters, plus a UV-Light.  I assume the carbon filter is some sort of activated carbon for controlling the taste of the water. Lov2Read
