"Really gets the sediment out. I replace every 3 months."
"it was my first time having to place this order. The gentleman who helped me on the phone was extremely knowledgeable and very sweet. I received my items within two days, so it was very fast service."
"I use this filter in my big blue. Works great in areas where there are many types of rock formations with minerals that can give your water a terrible taste. I also use the EPM 20BB with the DGD-5005-20,👌"
"works great!"
"Little different from string filters will see how it does."
"Excellent products!"
"Easy replacement."
"2 i n one filter allows you to put in a carbon filter in the 2nd housing"
"This product gives us approximately 11 to 12 months in the Deep South states. In mountainous states we go approximately 7 to 9 months before changing filters. Great product!"
"Haven't had time to install it yet, but I really liked the one I purchased last year. It has protected me and my friends from diarrhea that we suffered when we didn't have the filter."
Q:
What does the DGD-5005-20 / 155358-43 filter reduce?
A:
It is a nominal 5-micron polypropylene cartridge for fine sediment. It is designed not to add taste, odor, or color to the water.
Q:
What housing fits this DGD filter?
A:
The cartridge measures 4.5 inches by 20 inches and is designed for the corresponding Pentek Big Blue-style housing. Match both the 4.5-inch diameter and housing length.
Q:
What does dual-gradient density mean?
A:
The outer layers capture larger particles while progressively denser inner layers retain finer sediment. This spreads loading through the cartridge and increases dirt-holding capacity.
Q:
What flow performance does Pentair publish?
A:
Pentair reports less than 1 psi initial pressure drop at 20 GPM under manufacturer test conditions. Actual pressure drop rises as sediment accumulates and varies with water conditions.
Q:
Is this filter for chlorine taste and odor?
A:
No. It is a sediment cartridge. Use an appropriately sized carbon filter when chlorine taste and odor reduction is also needed.
Q:
When should the DGD cartridge be changed?
A:
Change it when pressure drop or reduced flow indicates loading, or at the interval specified for the system. Sediment-heavy well water may require more frequent service.
