Serv-A-Pure 71300P, Professional Grade Whole House Taste & Odor Removal Filter System
The Serv-A-Pure 71300P, Professional Grade taste and odor removal filter system is designed to be used as a whole house water filter system. The filter included with this system is the Pentek 155247, RFC20-BB carbon filter. Along with removing general taste and odors from your water, this filter efficiently removes chlorine and chlorine taste and odors as well. This filter system is NOT designed to remove iron or hydrogen sulfide/sulphur from your water supply.
Upgrading to the professional grade series of filter housing gives you a few added benefits over the standard grade series of housing. With the professional grade you will receive an SW-4-HD metal spanner wrench instead of the plastic version. You will also be upgraded to a higher flow 1" inlet/outlet connection size. Finally, you will also receive a 3/8" drain sump on the filter housing that allows for the draining of the filter housing and also gives you an easier spot to relieve pressure off of the housing.
Filter Included with the system - Pentek 155247, RFC20-BB Radial Flow Carbon Filter
Alternate Part number: BBFS-2C
Professional Grade System Features
- 1" Inlet/Outlet (Professional Grade Only)
- 3/8" drain sump included (Professional Grade Only)
- SW-4-HD Heavy Duty Metal Wrench Included (Professional Grade Only)
- Mounting Bracket comes pre-installed
- Inlet/Outlet pressure gauges come installed
- Inlet/Outlet lead free brass ball valves included

- The flow direction can be user selected. When standing out front of the system, does your water flow from right to left or left to right? Which ever it is, this is the selection you choose when adding the system to your shopping cart. If you are not sure which direction you need, you can change the flow direction when you receive the unit, it will just require you taking off the bracket and pressure gauges, then flipping the flow direction and reinstalling the bracket and gauges.
Technical Specification
- Flow Rate: 5 GPM (You can push it higher, but the pressure drop would keep increasing and the filter becomes less effective at a higher flow rate

Pressure Gauges
Why include pressure gauges on my system?
- Including pressure gauges on the inlet and outlet of this system allows you to monitor the pressure drop across the filter and is a good tool for trouble shooting any issues you may have with the installed filter. The higher the pressure drop across the two gauges, lets you know the filter is starting to be plugged up and once the pressure drop gets too high, lets you know it is time to change your filter.
• Pressure Gauge #1 - Located at the inlet of the 1st filter housing. Measures incoming pressure to system.
• Pressure Gauge #2 - Located at the outlet of the 1st housing. Measures pressure leaving the system.
To figure out the pressure drop across the system, take the pressure shown on Pressure Gauge #2 and subtract the pressure shown on Pressure Gauge #1. This difference is the pressure drop you are seeing across your filter system. For best results, take these readings with water flowing through the system.
