A whole house water filter system is installed on the main water line that enters your home. Its purpose is to eliminate rust, sediment, chlorine, and other chemical contaminants from all the water that flows into your home. This means that no matter where you are in your house, whether it's the guest bedroom shower, outside hose, kitchen, or bathroom sink, you and your family can enjoy clean, healthy, and great tasting water.

The benefits of a whole house water filter system go beyond just providing clean water from every faucet in your house. It can also help prolong the lifespan of appliances that utilize water, such as dishwashers, water heaters, and washing machines. By removing sediment, chlorine, and other contaminants, it prevents these substances from entering and potentially damaging these appliances.

The specifications of the filter system are as follows: - Actual Size: 20 inches (length) x 4 1/2 inches (outside diameter) - Media: Spun Wound Polypropylene - Filter Life: 6 months - Micron: 20 - Flow Rate: 20

The system is designed to fit most standard housings that accept 20-inch x 4.5-inch water filter cartridges. It effectively removes dirt, sediment, and particulates. It can be easily installed by following these 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. Wash the housing with dish soap and warm water using a nonabrasive sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly. 4. Fill 1/3 of the housing with water and add about 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 there are any signs of damage, cuts, or degradation. 6. Insert the new filter cartridge. 7. Screw the housing onto the cap and hand-tighten. Ensure that the cap standpipe slips into the cartridge. 8. Turn on the water supply, press the pressure-relief button (if present), and check for any leaks before finishing the installation.

Investing in a sediment reducing filter has several advantages. While sediment itself may not be harmful to humans or pets, it can indicate the presence of lead or iron contamination, which can lead to severe health issues. If you suspect lead in your pipes, it's recommended to have your water tested. Additionally, sediment filters protect other appliances and possessions from the negative effects of particles, such as staining and spots on clothes, sinks, toilets, and more. They also help prevent wear and deterioration on pipes and appliances. Using sediment filters as the first layer of defense can prolong the lifespan of other filters in your home by reducing the number of particles and contaminants that would otherwise wear them down.

This sediment water filter is a compatible replacement for various models, including Pentek DGD-7525-20, 155356-43, P20-20BB, and COMP-P20-20BB. It achieves high-quality filtration down to 20 microns, improving water quality and reducing sediment, rust, dirt, sand, silt, and corrosion. To ensure optimal performance, it's recommended to replace the filter cartridge every 6 months, depending on your water quality. Tier1 products are made using durable materials and designed to undergo strict quality assurance testing. The installation is quick and easy, with a universal fit for 20 x 4.5 Inch whole house water filter systems.
