Bring high-capacity, commercial-grade filtration to your family kitchen with the Pentair Everpure EF-6000 replacement cartridge (Item #EV985550). Designed for full flow performance at 2.2 GPM — matching the pressure of your existing faucet — this cartridge delivers clean, great-tasting water without the need for a separate filtered-water faucet, making it ideal for high-capacity areas throughout the home.

The EF-6000 uses a unique pleated filtration design to mechanically reduce particles as small as 0.5 microns, effectively lowering lead, chlorine taste and odor, dirt, cloudiness, and microplastics, while its NSF/ANSI Standard 53 certification confirms reliable reduction of cysts such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia. The filter media is also treated to inhibit biofilm and microbial buildup, helping preserve performance and filter life across its full capacity.

Rated for 6,000 gallons — roughly a full year of use for most households — the EF-6000 is triple certified to NSF/ANSI Standards 42, 53, and 401 for comprehensive contaminant reduction. Housed in Everpure's signature commercial-grade metal canister for durability, it features a built-in water shut-off and 1/4-turn cartridge connection for fast, mess-free replacements, while retaining the natural minerals that keep water tasting fresh.
