Review on 🚰 Pentair Pentek ChlorPlus10 Carbon Water Filter, 10-Inch, Chloramine Reduction Carbon Replacement Cartridge, 10" x 2.5", 1 Micron – Under Sink by Anthony Gupta

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Better to use cow magnet and standard coconut shell filter

Bought to try. It's an activated carbon filter, not coconut shell, so it doesn't have as good porosity (filters out fewer VOCs). Chloramine removal works well for 2-3 months at 2 gallons per day in my area, but then wears off. So at $20 a year, water treatment costs $80. for it (4 replacements) compared to $12 for standard coconut shell activated charcoal, which lasts 6 months at $6 each (2 replacements). Instead, to remove chloramine (charged particles), I use a cow magnet on the bottom of a glass pitcher and fill it with filtered coconut shell water with activated charcoal. After an hour the chloramine settles to the bottom around the magnet and the top 80% of the water is chloramine free. I just drain the bottom 20% of the water with the top water once. This allows me to filter chloramine without having to pay an additional $68/year for that filter and skip all the extra filter changes. I will not buy again.

Pros
  • FITS ALL 10" cases and can replace any 10" x 2.5" carbon filter
Cons
  • Doubtful
