## Questions & Answers

**Q: How often does this filter need to be replaced? We are using it as a whole house filter.**
A: Ours is a whole house system as well. We need to replace the filter on average about every 4-6 weeks. However, that really depends on the amount of sediment the well pump is encountering and that varies. Our well is 475 feet deep and we are in North/Central Massachusetts.

**Q: 0.5 microns or 5.0 microns???   Thought any filter under 5 was not string wound.**
A: This filter (WP.5BB97P) is rated at 0.5 Micron.  It is constructed from polypropylene string that is wound around a rigid polypropylene core.

**Q: Our current Pentair filter is 9 3/4" - will this 10" fit in the housing?**
A: Hi Kathy.  This filter will fit standard 10" Big Blue housings and should fit into most all industry standard Big Blue or heavy duty housings that take the 4" diameter cartridges.  If you have any other questions or would like help choosing the best filter for your application, please reach out to our technical support team (USA based) at 800-279-9404.
