Tier1 5 Micron 20 Inch x 4.5 Inch Pleated Polyester 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 – 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 does a whole house water filter provide the luxury of clean, great-tasting water from every faucet, 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 enter these appliances, preventing potential damage and wear.

The Tier1 20-inch sediment water filter has a pleated cellulose polyester media that can achieve filtration down to 5 microns, improving water quality at a flow rate of 20 gallons per minute (GPM). This high-capacity filter is designed to reduce sediment, dirt, sand, and particles, ensuring that your water is clean and healthy.

Measuring 20 inches in length and 4.5 inches in outside diameter, the Tier1 filter is a compatible replacement for Pentek ECP5-20BB, 255494-43, 255496-43, and 4PAY5 filters, making it suitable for most 20-inch water filter housings.

The easy installation process involves turning off the water supply, pressing the red pressure-relief button (if present), unscrewing the housing, removing the large o-ring, discarding the used filter cartridge, and washing the housing with dish soap and warm water. After disinfecting the housing, lubricating the o-ring, and inserting the new filter cartridge, the housing is screwed back onto the cap and the water supply is turned on. This simple process ensures a proper housing seal and prevents potential leaks.

Investing in a sediment-reducing filter like the Tier1 20-inch filter can provide several benefits. Sediment in drinking water may not be directly harmful to humans or pets, but it can be an indication of lead or iron contamination, which can cause serious health issues. Additionally, sediment filters 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. If other filtration mediums are already in place in your home, a sediment filter can increase the lifetime of those filters by reducing the number of particles and contaminants that would otherwise wear them down.

The Tier1 20-inch sediment water filter is designed to provide high-quality filtration, with a recommended 6-month filter life for the average household. Tier1 products undergo strict quality assurance testing and are manufactured using the highest-quality materials, ensuring durable performance and reliability.
