Tier1 5 Micron 20 Inch x 4.5 Inch | 2-Pack Spun Wound Polypropylene 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. These systems are placed on the main water line entering your house, ensuring that no matter where you are - whether it's the guest bedroom shower, outside hose, kitchen, or bathroom sink - you and your family can have clean, healthy, and great-tasting water.

Not only does a whole house water filter provide the luxury of clean, great-tasting water from every faucet in the house, but it can also help extend the life of appliances that use water, such as dishwashers, water heaters, and washing machines. This is because the filter removes the sediment, chlorine, and other contaminants that would otherwise be entering those appliances.

The Tier1 Whole House Filter Replacement Cartridge, compatible with Pentek DGD-5005-20 and 155358-43, is an affordably priced option that ensures you serve only high-quality water from every faucet throughout your home. This filter is built to capture and filter virtually all types of sediment particles, 5 microns or larger, out of the water in your home. Additionally, these filters help ensure your water tastes great while reducing the risk of sediment corrosion in your fixtures and appliances.

The filter has the following specifications: - Actual Size: 20 inches (length) x 4 1/4 inches (outside diameter) - Media: Spun Wound Polypropylene - Filter Life: 6 months - Micron: 5 Nominal - Flow Rate: 20 GPM

The Tier1 Whole House Filter Replacement Cartridge is designed to fit filtration system housings that accept 20 x 4.5 inch cartridges. It is compatible with a variety of part numbers, including 155358-43, PENTEK-DGD-5005-20, DGD-5005-20, SDC-45-2005, FPMB-BB5-20, and Hydronix SDC-45-2005.

The installation process is straightforward and easy. It involves turning off the water supply, removing the used filter cartridge, cleaning the housing, and inserting the new filter cartridge. Lubrication of the o-ring and ensuring a proper housing seal are crucial steps to ensure a successful installation.

Investing in a sediment-reducing filter can be 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 mediums 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 on them.
