What This Replacement Kit Does

This is the carbon media refill for the Pelican / Pentair PC1000 whole-house filter tank — the media inside your tank that actually performs the chlorine, taste, and odor reduction.

In most homes, the media is replaced about every 5 years, or sooner if chlorine taste or odor begins returning.

Why Replace the Media Instead of Buying a New System?

Reason Replace Media Buy New System
Cost ✔ Much lower ✘ Much higher
Performance ✔ Restores like-new filtration —
Installation time ✔ Quick DIY ✘ More complex
Waste ✔ Reuses your existing tank ✘ Replaces hardware unnecessarily

Easy Installation — What to Expect

Most homeowners can replace the media themselves. The process is straightforward and does not require a plumber for most setups.

  • Remove the filter tank from the bypass
  • Open the tank and dump out the old media
  • Apply the riser cap and pour in the new media
  • Reconnect the tank and follow the rinse / soak instructions

Pro tip: Follow the Pelican / Pentair PC1000 manual included with purchase for the final rinse and soak step.
