## Overview

The Pentair Pentek DGD-5005-20 is a 20-inch whole house sediment filter cartridge featuring advanced dual-gradient density spun polypropylene technology. Designed for high-flow applications, it delivers 5-micron filtration with 3X the dirt holding capacity of standard filters. Certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 42, it fits all 20" Big Blue housings and ensures clean, taste-free water while protecting your plumbing and appliances. Ideal for residential and commercial use, it requires replacement every 6 months for optimal performance.

## Description

DGD Series Cartridges are manufactured from 100% pure polypropylene and are sized for use in Pentair Pentek Big Blue Filter Housings. DGD Series Cartridges are designed for purity and will not impart taste, odor or color to the liquid being filtered. Additionally, the polypropylene construction provides superior chemical resistance. The DGD Series' advanced design combines selective final filtration with appropriate pre-filtration to achieve up to three times the dirt holding capacity of similar size sediment cartridges and even greater capacity than standard spun or string-wound cartridges. The larger diameter of the filter reduces the particle load, allowing it to operate at higher velocities. The effective filter depth is increased to a full 233%. This increased depth provides very high particulate reduction efficiencies and added loading capacity. The design and performance characteristics of the DGD Series Cartridges make them an excellent choice for all residential, rural, municipal and commercial applications.

Review: Every Day Use Just Have to Clean it Every 6 months - I use this filter for a small house and also for irrigation. It does a good job catching dirt and debris before it gets into the system. The filter gets dirty but the water stays clean. I usually clean it or change it about every six months depending on how dirty the water is. It has been working well so far and seems like good quality.
Review: Looks different than OEM but works great - Just know they look a little different than the original/oem. Initially they look a little taller, but they don't have the plastic end cap and black rubber seal. So overall length is actually the same. Fits perfectly. Working well so far.

I’ve bought the Pentair Pentek DGD‑2501‑20 filter before, and I keep coming back because it truly makes a difference in my home. When I use it, the water looks clearer and tastes fresher, which makes me feel good about what my family is drinking. It catches the dirt and sand that used to slip through other filters I tried. I like that it lasts a long time and fits my system without any trouble. This filter has earned my trust, and I’m happy to say I really love this product.
