Bring commercial-grade water filtration to any tap in your home with the Pentair Everpure EF-1500 replacement cartridge (Item #EV985850). Designed for full flow performance at 2.2 GPM — matching the pressure of a standard faucet — this cartridge delivers clean, great-tasting water without the need for a dedicated filtered-water faucet, making it ideal for bathroom sinks, wet bars, coffee makers, ice makers, and prep sinks.

The EF-1500 uses advanced 0.5-micron filtration to mechanically reduce lead, chlorine taste and odor, dirt, and cloudiness, while its NSF/ANSI Standard 53 certification confirms effective reduction of cysts such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia. The filter media is also treated to inhibit biofilm and microbial buildup, helping preserve cartridge performance and filter life over its full 1,500-gallon capacity.

Housed in a commercial-grade metal canister that resists splitting or bursting, the EF-1500 features a built-in water shut-off and quick 1/4-turn cartridge connection for fast, mess-free replacements. It also helps prevent lime and scale buildup in water-using appliances while retaining the natural minerals that keep water tasting fresh. Replace annually, or sooner depending on local water conditions and usage.
