Whole house water filter systems are designed to remove rust, sediment, chlorine, and other chemical contaminants from all water entering your home, ensuring that you and your family can enjoy clean, healthy, and great-tasting water regardless of where you are in the house, whether it's the guest bedroom shower, outside hose, kitchen, or bathroom sink. These filters not only provide the luxury of clean, great-tasting water from every faucet but can also help extend the life of appliances that use water, such as dishwashers, water heaters, and washing machines, by removing the sediment, chlorine, and other contaminants that would otherwise be entering those appliances.

The specifications of this specific water filter system include:

Actual Size: 10 inches (length) x 4 1/2 inches (outside diameter) Media: Bonded Polypropylene Filter Life: 6 months Micron: 1 Flow Rate: 10 GPM

3. Discard the used filter cartridge, wash the housing with dish soap and warm water using a nonabrasive sponge or cloth, and rinse thoroughly.
4. Fill the housing one-third with water, add about 1 tablespoon of bleach, and scrub to disinfect. Rinse thoroughly.
5. Lubricate the o-ring with clean silicone grease and ensure it is seated level in the groove.

8. Turn on the water supply, press the pressure-relief button (if present), and check for leaks before leaving the installation.

Investing in a sediment-reducing filter is beneficial for several reasons. Sediment in drinking water can be an indication of lead or iron contamination, which can cause serious health issues. Sediment filters also help protect other appliances and possessions from the harmful effects of particles, which can cause staining, spots, and wear and deterioration on pipes and appliances. Additionally, if other filtration media are already in place in your home, sediment filters can increase the lifetime of those filters by reducing the number of particles and contaminants they have to handle.

This 1-micron, 10 x 4.5 sediment water filter is a high-quality, durable, and easy-to-install replacement option that can significantly improve your home's water quality and protect your appliances.
