Pentair Pentek DGD-5005 Big Blue Water Filter, 10-Inch Whole House Sediment Filter Cartridge Replacement, Dual-Gradient Density Spun Polypropylene, 10" x 4.5", 5 Micron, Pack of 2

Works well with our system - quick delivery

I’ve been using these “dual gradient” whole house water filters for more than 15 years to remove any sediment from our well water. The benefit of a dual gradient filter is they act like two separate filters – the first layers remove larger sediment (e.g. silt, sand) down to 25 microns and the inner layer removes tiny particles –down to 5 microns. These filters do not remove chemicals or improve taste – they simply remove particles/sediment from the water. When our well was first dug, I had to change filters every 2~3 months. Within a year, that slowed to 4~6 months, now after 20 years – I typically change the filter annually, or sooner if I notice a pressure drop. I also have a 3-stage filter system under the kitchen sink for drinking/cooking/ice-cube water which filters to 1 micron and removes bacteria and viruses.Note: The more sediment that is in your water, the more often you will need to change your filter. Some reviewers complained that their filters clogged after only a few months… gee, that is what a filter is supposed to do.Pentair does make another model (DGD-2501) dual gradient filter with a 25 micron prefilter and 1 micron final filter. If I didn’t have separate drinking water filtration system, I would use the DGD-2501 filter – knowing that I would need to change it more often. I highly recommend the Pentair Pentek family of water filters!

I was buying filters from the local water softener shop. Almost half price here. Very satisfied!

These filters are a real money saver

Great filter for my well

I have a 500 foot deep well and there’s a lot of sediment that comes up through it but being that I live on a small mountain, that’s all ledge..,500 feet down is pure springwater and this filter helps to eliminate anything that might cause an off taste or an odor… and more importantly, sediment and I get water that is better than any water you could possibly buy in a store the only thing about this filter is it doesn’t quite last as long as they say it should, now that could be due to the amount of sediment in my well? But even when I’ve left the filter unchanged for 8-10 months…my water pressure doesn’t get reduced.. I don’t really need a charcoal type filter because the water I’m getting is from the earth and it’s pure so there’s no fluoride or anything like that that they tend to put in Massachusetts water sources I will keep purchasing this product because it keeps my shower heads from clogging keeps my dishwasher from clogging… it just overall gives me the best tasting water I’ve ever had…You can’t go wrong with Pentek filters!!

We use this sediment filter before our multi-stage carbon filters, for a DIY whole home filter system. It works incredibly well, and extends a life of our carbon filters

We have absolutely terrible water and these filters are the only ones we have found to successfully keep it clean.We have them on auto order so that we never run out and anytime we notice the water pressure dropping we know we need to go change it out!

Just as described- works well

Filtre les odeurs, durée plus longue

Excelente filtro para el agua de mi sistema hidroneumático

I have been useing these filters for a while now, they work very well. Best part is that they save installing another filter housing for progressive filter sizes.I have reccomended these to several friends.

Buena calidad
