This Pentek IC-101L in-line filter is suitable for reduction of chlorine taste and odor and other unwanted tastes and odors. It has a polypropylene housing for dimensional stability and resistance to chemicals, and a coconut shell granular activated carbon filtering medium. It measures 10-1/2 x 2 inches (H x W). It has 1/4" female National Pipe Taper (NPT) threaded inlet and outlet ports, and its estimated lifespan is 2,500 gallons. This in-line filter causes an initial pressure drop of 10 pounds per square inch (psi) at 0.5 gallons per minute (gpm) and operates at a maximum temperature of 100 degrees F (37.8 degrees C). It is tested and certified by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF), and is suitable for residential and commercial drinking water filtration.

Water filters remove undesirable particles, chemicals, and microorganisms from water by means of a semipermeable barrier, adsorption, or biological processes. They are made of densely packed synthetic or natural fibers that trap suspended particles, materials that block microbes or adsorb unwanted chemicals, or substances that cause a chemical change, such as acid neutralization. For most residential, commercial, and industrial applications, water filters are manufactured in the form of replaceable cartridges that fit inside permanent housings. Filtration systems typically consist of a series of two or more types of filters, each designed to remove different contaminants. The performance of filters is measured by the minimum particle size that is blocked, the percentage of particles or microorganisms that are removed, the downstream concentration of unwanted chemicals, the maximum flow rate, and the amount of water that can be filtered before the filter must be replaced. Water filters are used in a wide range of applications, including drinking water purification, swimming pools, industrial processes, and irrigation, among others.
