Tier1 1 Micron 10 Inch x 4.5 Inch Whole House Sediment Water Filter Replacement Cartridge

Whole house water filter systems are designed to remove rust, sediment, chlorine, and other chemical contaminants from all the water entering your home, providing clean, healthy, and great-tasting water no matter where you are in the house. These filters 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 the 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

The filter is designed to fit most standard 10 x 4.5-inch housings and is compatible with replacement cartridges such as Pentek DGD-2501, 155359-43, SDC-45-1001, P1-10BB, FPMB-BB1-10, and SDF-45-1001.

The installation process is straightforward:

1. Turn off the water supply and press the red pressure-relief button (if present).
2. Unscrew the housing, remove the large o-ring, and discard the used filter cartridge.
3. Wash the housing with dish soap and warm water, rinse thoroughly, and disinfect by filling 1/3 with water, adding about 1 tablespoon of bleach, and scrubbing before rinsing thoroughly.
4. Lubricate the o-ring with clean silicone grease and ensure it is seated level in the groove.
5. Insert the new filter cartridge and screw the housing onto the cap, hand-tightening it.
6. Turn on the water supply, press the pressure-relief button (if present), and check for any leaks.

Investing in a sediment-reducing filter is beneficial for several reasons:

1. Sediment in drinking water can be an indication of lead or iron contamination, which can cause serious health issues. If you suspect lead in your pipes, it's essential to get your water tested.
2. Sediment filters 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.
3. 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 that would otherwise wear them down.

The high-quality spun wound polypropylene sediment filter is able to achieve filtration down to 1 micron, improving water quality at a flow rate of 10 GPM and reducing sediment, rust, dirt, sand, silt, and corrosion. Replacing the filter cartridge every 3 months is recommended for optimal performance, and Tier1 products undergo strict quality assurance testing, ensuring the highest quality materials and design.
