## Overview

The Pentair Pentek DGD-2501 Big Blue Water Filter is a 10-inch whole house sediment cartridge featuring a dual-gradient density spun polypropylene design that delivers ultra-fine 1 micron filtration. Certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 42, it offers 3X the dirt holding capacity of similar filters, ensuring superior sediment removal without affecting water taste or odor. Ideal for high-flow applications, this pack of 8 cartridges fits all Big Blue housings and is recommended for replacement every 6 months to maintain optimal water quality and appliance protection.

## 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: Works great - I rarely leave reviews, but this one indicates a great product. I’ve tried various filters, from cheap to expensive, and this one surpasses expectations. My well water is high in iron (reddish clay), but this filter works wonders. Highly recommended, though the price is on the expensive side.
Review: Great Buy - This is the go-to water softener filter we use every month for bad water in our neighborhood. Works great with sediment removal. Helps extend life of tank. Got in on subscription and keep six month supply on hand.
