5 Micron 20 Inch x 2.5 Inch | 6-Pack Spun Wound Polypropylene Whole House Sediment Water Filter Cartridge

Whole house water filter systems, designed to remove rust, sediment, chlorine, and other chemical contaminants, are placed on the main water line entering your home. This ensures that clean and healthy water is available from every faucet in your house, whether it's the shower in the guest bedroom, the kitchen sink, or the bathroom sink. In addition to providing clean and great-tasting water, a whole house water filter can also extend the lifespan of appliances that use water, such as dishwashers, water heaters, and washing machines. By removing sediment, chlorine, and other contaminants, these filters prevent the entry of harmful substances into these appliances.

The Tier1 sediment water filter, which is compatible with Pentek P5-20, 155016-43, effectively filters out dirt, sand, silt particles that are 5 microns or larger in size. With dimensions of 20 x 2.5 inches, this filter guarantees high-quality and great-tasting water from every faucet. It is important to note that this filter is also compatible with various other part numbers and system models.

The specifications and features of the filter include an actual size of 20 inches in length and 2 3/8 inches in outside diameter, a spun wound polypropylene media, a filter life of 6 months, a micron rating of 5 nominal, and a flow rate of 10 GPM. It is designed to fit most standard filter housings that use 20-inch x 2.5-inch filter cartridges, ensuring ease of installation.

To install the filter, you need to turn off the water supply, press the red pressure-relief button (if present), unscrew the housing, remove and clean the large o-ring, discard the used filter cartridge, wash the housing with dish soap and warm water, rinse thoroughly, fill 1/3 of the housing with water, add bleach for disinfection, rinse thoroughly, lubricate the o-ring with clean silicone grease, insert the o-ring in the groove, insert the new filter cartridge, screw the housing onto the cap and hand-tighten, and finally, turn on the water supply and check for leaks.

Investing in a sediment reducing filter has several benefits. Although sediment in drinking water is not directly harmful, it can indicate lead or iron contamination, which can have serious health effects. Sediment filters also protect appliances and possessions from the damaging effects of particles, which can cause staining and wear on clothes, sinks, toilets, pipes, and appliances. Moreover, using sediment filters as the first layer of defense can increase the lifespan of other filters in your home by reducing the number of particles and contaminants that can wear them down.

The Tier1 sediment water filter is a compatible replacement for various other filters and is capable of high-quality filtration down to 5 microns. With a 6-month filter life, it is recommended for optimal performance in the average household. The durability and quality of Tier1 products are ensured through strict quality assurance testing and the use of high-quality materials.

Installing the Tier1 sediment water filter is quick and easy, thanks to its universal fit for 20 x 2.5-inch whole house water filter systems.
