Tier1 5 Micron 10x4.5 | 6-Pack Polypropylene Water Filter Cartridge | Compatible with Pentek DGD-5005 | Home Water Filter

Whole house water filter systems are designed to remove rust, sediment, chlorine, and other chemical contaminants from all water entering your home. They are placed on the main water line and ensure that clean and great tasting water is available from every faucet in the house, including the guest bedroom shower, outside hose, kitchen, and bathroom sink. These filters not only provide luxury and convenience but also extend the lifespan of water-using appliances like dishwashers, water heaters, and washing machines by removing sediment and contaminants that can cause damage.

The Tier1 Whole House Filter Cartridge Compatible with DGD-5005 is specifically built to reduce sediment 5 microns or larger. It easily fits into any system that uses 10x4.5 inch filters and helps maintain the highest quality water while protecting fixtures, faucets, and appliances from sediment corrosion. The filter cartridge has specifications including an actual size of 9 7/8 inches (length) x 4 1/4 inches (outside diameter), a bonded polypropylene media, a filter life of 6 months, a micron size of 5, and a flow rate of 10.

Installation is quick and easy, following a few simple 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, cleaning it and setting it aside.
3. Dispose of the used filter cartridge and wash the housing with dish soap and warm water using a nonabrasive sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly.
4. Fill the housing with 1/3 water, add about 1 tablespoon of bleach, and scrub to disinfect. Rinse thoroughly.
5. Lubricate the o-ring with clean silicone grease and insert it into the groove. Replace the o-ring if any damage, cuts, or degradation are present.
6. It is important to ensure a proper housing seal by making sure the o-ring is seated level in the groove.
7. Insert the new filter cartridge.
8. Screw the housing onto the cap and hand-tighten, making sure the cap standpipe slips into the cartridge.
9. Turn on the water supply and check for any leaks before leaving the installation.

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

1. Sediment in drinking water may indicate lead or iron contamination, which can be harmful to health. Installing a sediment filter helps protect against these contaminants.
2. Sediment filters prevent staining, spots, and wear on clothes, sinks, toilets, pipes, and appliances caused by particles.
3. If other filtration mediums are already in place in your home, adding a sediment filter as the first layer of defense can prolong the lifespan of those filters by reducing the particles and contaminants they have to deal with.

The compatible replacement for this sediment water filter is a 5 micron, 10x4.5 filter that fits most 10 inch water filter housings. It can replace brands such as Pentek DGD-5005, American Plumber WDGD-5005, Aqua-Pure AP810, and many others.

The high-quality filtration of this sediment filter can achieve a filtration down to 5 microns, improving water quality, and reducing sediment, rust, dirt, sand, silt, and corrosion. With a flow rate of 10 GPM, it ensures a steady supply of clean water.

To ensure optimal performance, it is recommended to replace the filter cartridge every 6 months, depending on the quality of your water.

Tier1 products undergo strict quality assurance testing and are manufactured using durable materials and a reliable design.
