Pentair Pentek DGD-5005-20 Big Blue Whole House Sediment Filter Cartridge

The DGD Series Cartridges, manufactured from 100% pure polypropylene, are designed for use in Pentair Pentek Big Blue Filter Housings. These cartridges are engineered for purity, ensuring that they will not impart any taste, odor, or color to the liquid being filtered. Furthermore, the polypropylene construction provides superior chemical resistance.

The advanced design of the DGD Series Cartridges combines selective final filtration with appropriate pre-filtration, resulting in a dirt holding capacity up to three times greater than similar-sized sediment cartridges and even greater capacity than standard spun or string-wound cartridges. The larger diameter of the filter reduces the particle load, allowing it to operate at higher velocities. The effective filter depth is increased to a full 233%, which provides very high particulate reduction efficiencies and added loading capacity.

These design and performance characteristics make the DGD Series Cartridges an excellent choice for a wide range of applications, including residential, rural, municipal, and commercial settings. By removing dirt, sand, silt, and particulates, these cartridges help keep your water clean and protect your appliances.

The DGD Big Blue water filter cartridges are an ideal high-flow pre-filter solution. The filter density increases toward the cartridge's center, resulting in superior particulate reduction and three times the dirt holding capacity of similar-sized sediment cartridges.

For your peace of mind, the DGD Series Cartridges have been tested and certified by NSF International to NSF/ANSI Standard 42. Manufactured with 100% pure polypropylene, these cartridges are sized for use in all 20-inch Big Blue filter housings (or other heavy-duty filter housings) and can replace any 20-inch x 4.5-inch sediment filter cartridge.

To maintain optimal performance and water quality, it is recommended to replace the DGD Series Cartridges every 6 months or when you notice a drop in water pressure or water quality.
