Tier1 5 Micron 10 Inch x 4.5 Inch | 2-Pack 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 water entering your home, and are placed on the main water line entering your property. This means that no matter where you are in your house, whether it's the guest bedroom shower, outside hose, kitchen or bathroom sink, you and your family can enjoy clean, healthy, and great-tasting water.

Not only does a whole house water filter provide the luxury of clean, great-tasting water from every faucet in the house, but it can also help extend the life of appliances that use water, such as dishwashers, water heaters, and washing machines. This is because the filter removes the sediment, chlorine, and other contaminants that would otherwise be entering those appliances.

The Tier1 Whole House Filter Cartridge Compatible with DGD-5005 is built to reduce virtually all types of sediment 5 microns or larger. This filter cartridge will fit easily into any system that uses 10x4.5 inch filters. Once installed, the filter will help you maintain water of the highest quality, while protecting your fixtures, faucets, and appliances from the risk of sediment corrosion.

Fill the housing 1/3 with water, add about 1 tablespoon of bleach, and scrub to disinfect. Rinse thoroughly. 5. Lubricate the o-ring with clean silicone grease and ensure it is seated level in the groove. 6. Insert the new filter cartridge and screw the housing onto the cap, hand-tightening it. 7. Turn on the water supply, press the pressure-relief button (if present), and check for leaks.

Investing in a sediment-reducing filter is beneficial for several reasons. Sediment in drinking water can be an indicator of lead or iron contamination, which can cause serious health issues. Sediment filters also help protect other appliances and possessions from the harmful effects of particles, which can cause staining, spots, and wear and deterioration on pipes and appliances. Additionally, sediment filters can increase the lifetime of other filtration media in your home by reducing the number of particles and contaminants that would otherwise wear them down.
