Pentair Pentek DGD-5005-20 Big Blue Water Filter, Whole House Sediment Filter Cartridge Replacement

The DGD Series Cartridges are manufactured from 100% pure polypropylene and are designed for use in Pentair Pentek Big Blue Filter Housings. These cartridges are engineered for purity, ensuring they will not impart any taste, odor, or color to the liquid being filtered. Furthermore, the polypropylene construction provides superior chemical resistance.

The advanced design of the DGD Series combines selective final filtration with appropriate pre-filtration, allowing it to achieve up to three times the dirt holding capacity of similar-sized sediment cartridges and even greater capacity than standard spun or string-wound cartridges. The larger diameter of the filter reduces the particle load, enabling it to operate at higher velocities. The effective filter depth is increased to a full 233%, which provides very high particulate reduction efficiencies and added loading capacity.

The design and performance characteristics of the DGD Series Cartridges make them an excellent choice for all residential, rural, municipal, and commercial applications. By removing dirt, sand, silt, and particulates, these cartridges help keep your water clean and protect your appliances.

The DGD Big Blue water filter cartridges are ideal high-flow pre-filters. The filter density increases towards the cartridge's center, resulting in superior particulate reduction and a three-fold increase in dirt holding capacity compared to similar-sized sediment cartridges.

These cartridges have been tested and certified by NSF International to NSF/ANSI Standard 42, providing you with the peace of mind that they meet the highest quality standards. Manufactured with 100% pure polypropylene, the DGD Series Cartridges are sized for use in all 20-inch Big Blue filter housings (or other heavy-duty filter housings) and can replace any 20-inch x 4.5-inch sediment filter cartridge.

For best results and performance, it is recommended to replace the DGD Series Cartridges every 6 months or when you notice a drop in water pressure or water quality.
