Pentair Freshpoint F1GC-RC Post Carbon Filter

Description

The Pentair Freshpoint F1GC-RC Post Carbon Filter is a high-quality granular activated carbon (GAC) post-filter cartridge designed specifically for Pentair FreshPoint reverse osmosis (RO) drinking water systems. This filter serves as the final polishing stage in multi-stage RO setups, enhancing taste, clarity, and overall drinking water quality by removing residual chlorine taste and odor as well as other compounds that can affect flavour.

Key Features

• Final Polishing Stage — Improves water taste and clarity after RO membrane filtration by reducing chlorine, chloramines, and other taste-and-odor compounds.
• Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) Media — High surface area carbon promotes effective adsorption of unwanted contaminants for cleaner, more refreshing water.
• Long Service Life — Typically treats up to ~675–750 gallons before replacement is recommended, depending on water quality and usage.
• Click-In Installation — Quick and tool-free cartridge exchange makes maintenance easy.
• NSF/ANSI Certified — Compatible with certified FreshPoint RO systems when installed as part of the recommended filter sequence.
