FAQ
| Q. Does the Pentair Carbon Series PC600 Premium Whole House Water Filters pre-filter system remove COPEPODS from the water? |
| Yes. Copepods are tiny crustaceans commonly found in reservoirs and public water sources. The little creatures range in size from 30 to 50 microns, meaning the largest are visible with the naked eye but small enough to move through many water filtration systems. This poses a difficulty if you eat a kosher diet (or if you just find the idea of tiny crustaceans in you water icky). The 5-micron prefilter provided with the Pentair Carbon Series PC600 Premium home water filtration system will remove Copepods. This type of water filtration system is approved for removing copepods by OU Kosher, the world's leading kosher certification program. |
| Q. How easy is it to install the Pentair Carbon Series PC600 Premium Whole House Water Filter? |
The Pentair Carbon Series PC600 Premium Whole House Water Filter will be shipped pre-assembled (the tank comes pre-loaded) and Ready-To-Install which greatly simplifies the installation process and also reduces installation cost and time. Detailed installation instructions and supplied fittings make it easy to understand and install the filter system. Also, you or your plumber may contact our knowledgeable Customer Service Technicians for further assistance during the installation if necessary. 1-877-207-7380
|
| Q. Where should the Pentair Carbon Series PC600 Premium Whole House Water Filter be installed? |
The Pentair Carbon Series PC600 Filtration System is a Point-of-Entry (POE) system, or whole-house/whole home system, and is usually installed in your garage, basement, or water heater closet. The system can also be installed outside or buried in the ground in climates where the temperatures do note reach below freezing.
|
| Q. What is the cost to replace the carbon media inside the Pentair Carbon Series PC600 after 5 years of 600,000 gallons? |
The cost to replace the media for the Pentair Carbon Series PC600 is currently only $205.00 including free shipping. Replacing the carbon media instead of the tank makes the replacement process simple and very cost effective.
|
| Q. How often should I change the 5-micron sediment pre-filter? |
|
Approximately every 6 to 9 months, depending upon the actual amount of sediment or particulate matter present in your water supply. The pre-filter starts off white in color so it is easy to see when the pre-filter is dirty by looking at the color of it.
|
| Q. How will the Pentair Carbon Series PC600 Premium Whole House Water Filter be shipped to my home? |
|
The filter system will be shipped via Free UPS Ground in the highest quality doubled walled box with side cushions and a custom top piece to protect the top of the filter system. No expense has been spared to ensure your filter arrives in factory fresh condition. These filter systems travel long distances, so we feel it is vital that the packaging be of the utmost quality. All orders will receive tracking numbers so you can track your filter system right to your door.
