Tier1 1 Micron 20 Inch x 4.5 Inch | 3-Pack Spun Wound Polypropylene Whole House Sediment Water Filter Replacement Cartridge

Whole house water filter systems are designed to remove rust, sediment, chlorine, and other chemical contaminants from all the water entering your home, regardless of where you are using it, whether it's the guest bedroom shower, outside hose, kitchen, or bathroom sink. These filters are placed on the main water line entering your home, ensuring that you and your family can enjoy clean, healthy, and great-tasting water throughout your house.

Not only do whole house water filters provide the luxury of clean, great-tasting water from every faucet, but they can also help extend the life of appliances that use water, such as dishwashers, water heaters, and washing machines. This is because the filters remove the sediment, chlorine, and other contaminants that would otherwise enter and potentially damage these appliances.

The Tier1 20-inch x 4.5-inch sediment water filter is a compatible replacement for various models, including the Pentek DGD-2501-20, 155360-43, P1-20BB, SDC-45-2001, FPMB-BB1-20, and SDF-45-2001, and it fits most 20-inch water filter housings. This high-quality filter is capable of achieving filtration down to 1 micron, improving water quality at a flow rate of 20 GPM and reducing sediment, rust, dirt, sand, silt, and corrosion.

To ensure optimal performance, it is recommended to replace the filter cartridge every 3 months, depending on the quality of your water. Tier1 products undergo strict quality assurance testing and are manufactured using the highest-quality materials, ensuring durability and reliability.

The installation process is straightforward and easy. Here are the steps:

1. Turn off the water supply and press the red pressure-relief button (if present).
2. Unscrew the housing, remove the large o-ring, wipe it clean, and set it aside.
3. Discard the used filter cartridge, wash the housing with dish soap and warm water using a non-abrasive sponge or cloth, and rinse thoroughly.
4. Fill the housing one-third with water, add about 1 tablespoon of bleach, and scrub to disinfect. Rinse thoroughly.
5. Lubricate the o-ring with clean silicone grease, change it if there are any cuts or degradation, and make sure it is seated level in the groove.
6. Insert the new filter cartridge.
7. Screw the housing onto the cap and hand-tighten, making sure the cap standpipe slips into the cartridge.
8. Turn on the water supply, press the pressure-relief button (if present), and check for leaks before leaving the installation.

Investing in a sediment-reducing filter is beneficial for several reasons. Sediment in drinking water can be an indication of lead or iron contamination, which can cause serious health issues. Even if the sediment is not harmful on its own, it can still cause staining and spots on clothes, sinks, toilets, and other possessions, as well as wear and deterioration on pipes and appliances. Additionally, if you have other filtration media in your home, a sediment filter can act as a first layer of defense, increasing the lifetime of those other filters by reducing the number of particles and contaminants that would otherwise wear them down.
