Q:
What does the 155357-43 / DGD-5005 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 9.88 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 10 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.
