Premium Carbon Replacement Media for Pelican PC600 Whole House Filter

Restore your system’s filtration performance with premium coconut shell carbon that reduces chlorine, odors, and other contaminants — long-lasting and easy to install.

Pelican Is Now Pentair — This Kit Fits Both

Pelican PC600 tanks are now sold under the Pentair name. This replacement kit is designed for both Pelican PC600 and Pentair PC600 tanks — they are the same tank internally.

What’s included in the Pelican PC600 carbon replacement kit, including coconut shell carbon media, KDF55, riser cap, wide-mouth funnel, O-ring, silicone grease, hose bib adapter, and Pentair installation guide

Easier Tank Fill & Flush — Hose Bib Adapter Included

During carbon media replacement, one required step is filling and flushing the PC600 tank with a garden hose. Without the right connector, you may have to hold the hose against the tank inlet by hand while water runs through the system.

This kit includes a threaded hose bib adapter that connects a standard garden hose directly to the tank head unit, making the fill and flush process cleaner, easier, and more hands-free.

  • No awkward hose-holding during the fill and flush step
  • Helps reduce slipping and splashing while water flows into the tank
  • Included with this kit so you do not have to track down a separate connector

Core Benefits

  • Engineered for PC600 systems — ideal fit for Pelican and Pentair PC600 tanks
  • Lasts up to 5 years depending on water quality and usage
  • Improves taste & odor by reducing chlorine and other contaminants
  • Easy, no-plumber installation — includes hose bib adapter for cleaner tank fill & flush
  • Premium coconut shell carbon for broad contaminant reduction
  • Complete kit with key install components included

What This Replacement Kit Does

This is the carbon media refill for the Pelican / Pentair PC600 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 PC600 manual included with purchase for the final rinse and soak step.
