High-Performance Pentek Dual Gradient Polypropylene Filter Cartridge for Cleaner, Clearer Water

Designed to tackle sediment and particulate contaminants efficiently, the DGD-5005-20-BB Pentek Dual Grad Polypropylene Filter Cartridge offers superior filtration for your water treatment system. Unlike generic filter cartridges, this model provides a reliable 5-micron filtration rating combined with a high flow rate of 20 gallons per minute, making it ideal for residential or commercial setups requiring consistent water clarity and system protection.

Key Benefits

• Protects your water system from sediment buildup, extending the lifespan of downstream equipment
• Delivers high flow capacity of 20 GPM, supporting larger water demands without compromising filtration quality
• Provides consistent 5-micron filtration to remove fine particles, improving water clarity and taste
• Constructed with durable polypropylene for chemical resistance and long-lasting performance
• Easy to install and replace, minimizing downtime during routine maintenance
• Compatible with standard filter housings, ensuring seamless integration into existing systems

How It Works

The DGD-5005-20-BB employs a dual gradient density design that traps particles throughout the depth of the filter media rather than just on the surface. Water enters the cartridge and flows through progressively finer layers of polypropylene fibers. This structure captures larger sediment near the outer layers and finer particles closer to the core, maximizing dirt-holding capacity and maintaining flow rate.

This depth filtration approach reduces clogging and pressure drop, ensuring your water treatment system operates efficiently while delivering consistently filtered water.

What to Expect

Upon installation, you’ll notice an immediate improvement in water clarity as sediment and particulate matter are effectively captured. During the first days and weeks, the cartridge maintains high flow rates while safeguarding your plumbing and appliances from damaging sediments.

Over time, the durable polypropylene construction sustains performance without frequent replacements, reducing maintenance needs. Routine checks and timely cartridge changes will keep your system performing at peak efficiency.

What’s Inside

• Polypropylene Filter Media – Provides chemical resistance and effective sediment filtration at 5 microns
• Dual Gradient Density Layers – Enhance dirt-holding capacity and maintain high flow rates
• Rigid Core Support – Ensures structural integrity under pressures typical in residential and commercial water systems
• Sealed End Caps – Prevent bypass and ensure all water passes through the filter media for maximum efficiency

How to Use

1. Turn off water supply to the filter housing before beginning replacement.
2. Release pressure by opening a downstream faucet or using the housing’s pressure release valve.
3. Remove the filter housing and carefully take out the old cartridge.
4. Insert the DGD-5005-20-BB filter cartridge, ensuring it seats properly with end caps aligned.
5. Reattach the filter housing securely and turn the water supply back on.
6. Check for leaks and flush the system by running water for a few minutes before normal use.
7. Replace the cartridge as recommended by your water system’s maintenance schedule or when water flow decreases noticeably.
