Tier1 1 Micron 20 Inch x 2.5 Inch | 6-Pack Spun Wound Polypropylene Whole House Sediment Water Filter Replacement Cartridge

Whole house water filter systems are placed on the main water line entering your home, designed to remove rust, sediment, chlorine, and other chemical contaminants from all water entering your home. As a result, you and your family can enjoy clean, healthy, and great-tasting water no matter where you are in your house, whether it's the guest bedroom shower, outside hose, kitchen, or bathroom sink. Furthermore, a whole house water filter can help extend the life of appliances that use water, such as dishwashers, water heaters, and washing machines, by removing the sediment, chlorine, and other contaminants that would otherwise be entering those appliances.

The specifications of this particular whole house water filter system are as follows: Actual Size: 20 inches (length) x 2-1/2 inches (outside diameter), Media: Spun Wound Polypropylene, Filter Life: 6 months, Micron: 1, and Flow Rate: 10. This filter is designed to fit standard filter housings using 20 x 2.5-inch filters.

The contaminants removed by this filter include particulates and sediment. It is compatible with a variety of replacement parts, including Pentek P1-20, SP-P1-20, PX01-20, PS1-20C, 155755-43, 255691-43, SP-P1-20, SDC-25-2001, 93125, and 155304-43.

The installation process is straightforward and involves the following 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, and wipe it clean, 3) Discard the used filter cartridge, wash the housing with dish soap and warm water, and rinse thoroughly, 4) Fill the housing 1/3 with water, add about 1 tablespoon of bleach, and scrub to disinfect, then 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, 7) Screw the housing onto the cap and hand-tighten (do not over-tighten), and 8) Turn on the water supply, press the pressure-relief button (if present), and check for leaks.

Investing in a sediment-reducing filter is a wise decision for several reasons. Sediment in drinking water can be an indication 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, such as staining, spots, and wear and deterioration on pipes and appliances. Additionally, if other filtration mediums are already in place in your home, sediment filters can increase the lifetime of those filters by reducing the number of particles and contaminants that would otherwise wear on them.

This 1 Micron 20 x 2.5 sediment water filter is a high-quality and durable option, capable of achieving filtration down to 1 micron and reducing sediment, rust, dirt, sand, silt, and corrosion at a flow rate of 10 GPM. Replacing the filter every 3 months is recommended for optimal performance, and Tier1 products undergo strict quality assurance testing to ensure the use of the highest quality materials.
