Tier1 1 Micron 20 x 4.5 Inch Water Filter Cartridge | Compatible with Pentek DGD-2501-20, 155360-43, P1-20BB

Whole house water filter systems are designed to remove rust, sediment, chlorine and other chemical contaminants from all water entering your home. Placed on the main water line, these systems ensure that clean and healthy water is available from every faucet in your house, whether it be the guest bedroom shower, outside hose, kitchen or bathroom sink. In addition to providing 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 and contaminants that could damage these appliances.

Here are the specifications and features of our whole house water filter system: - Actual size: 20 inches (length) x 4 1/2 inches (outside diameter) - Media: Spun Wound Polypropylene - Filter life: 8,000 gallons - Micron rating: 1 micron - Flow rate: 20 gallons per minute - Designed to fit most standard 20 x 5-inch housings

Our filter system effectively removes contaminants such as coarse sand, hard scale, limescale, oxidized iron, and particles like sand. It is comparable to other high-quality filter cartridges such as DGD-2501-20, Pentek DGD-2501-20, and 155360-43.

Installation is quick and easy with the following steps: 1. Turn off the water supply and press the red pressure-relief button (if present). 2. Unscrew the housing and remove the large o-ring. Clean the o-ring and set it aside. 3. Discard the used filter cartridge and wash the housing with dish soap and warm water. Rinse thoroughly. 4. Fill 1/3 of the housing with water and add 1 tablespoon of bleach. Scrub to disinfect and rinse thoroughly. 5. Lubricate the o-ring with clean silicone grease and insert it into the groove. Change the o-ring if it is damaged. 6. Make sure the o-ring is seated level in the groove to ensure a proper housing seal. 7. Insert the new filter cartridge. 8. Screw the housing onto the cap and hand-tighten, ensuring the cap standpipe slips into the cartridge. 9. 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 important because it protects not only your health but also your appliances and possessions. Sediment in drinking water may indicate lead or iron contamination that can cause serious health issues. Sediment filters prevent particles from causing stains, spots, and corrosion on clothes, sinks, toilets, pipes, and appliances. Additionally, using a sediment filter 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 they have to handle.

Our sediment water filter replacement is compatible with various filter cartridge models, including Pentek DGD-2501-20, 155360-43, P1-20BB, SDC-45-2001, FPMB-BB1-20, and SDF-45-2001. It is made from high-quality spun wound polypropylene that achieves filtration down to 1 micron, improving water quality. With a flow rate of 20 gallons per minute, it effectively reduces sediment, rust, dirt, sand, silt, and corrosion.

For optimal performance, we recommend replacing the filter cartridge every 3 months, depending on the quality of your water. Our Tier1 products are manufactured using durable materials and undergo strict quality assurance testing.

Installation is quick and easy, as the filter cartridge has a universal fit into your 20 x 4.5-inch whole house water filter system.
