It delivers ultra-fine 1 micron filtration, removing dirt, sand, silt, and particulates without affecting water taste or odor. Certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 42, it offers 3X the dirt holding capacity of typical sediment filters and fits all standard 10-inch Big Blue housings, making it a reliable, high-flow pre-filter solution for residential and commercial water systems. ## Description The Pentair Pentek DGD-2501 is a 10-inch Big Blue whole-house sediment cartridge built on the DGD Series dual-gradient density design. Spun from 100% pure polypropylene, it reduces dirt, sand, silt, and rust down to a nominal 1 micron while adding no taste, odor, or color to your water.The dual-gradient structure increases filter density from the outer surface toward the center, so coarse particles are captured on the outside and finer particles deeper in. This delivers up to three times the dirt-holding capacity of similar-size cartridges and a very low pressure drop of under 1 psi at 10 gpm, making it an excellent high-flow pre-filter ahead of carbon or specialty filters.Measuring 10" x 4.5", it fits all 10-inch Pentair Pentek Big Blue and other heavy-duty housings and is tested and certified by NSF International to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for material requirements. Replace approximately every 6 months, or sooner if flow drops. Ships as a single cartridge. ## Features - KEEP YOUR WATER CLEANER - Reduces dirt, sand, silt, and rust particles to help protect your appliances, water heater, and plumbing; spun from 100% pure polypropylene that will not impart taste, odor, or color to your water. - IDEAL HIGH-FLOW PRE-FILTER - Dual-gradient density traps coarse particles on the outer surface and fine particles toward the core, delivering up to 3X the dirt-holding capacity of similar-size sediment cartridges with very low pressure drop. - TESTED AND CERTIFIED - Rated at a nominal 1 micron and tested and certified by NSF International to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for material requirements; polypropylene construction gives excellent chemical compatibility. - SIZED FOR BIG BLUE HOUSINGS - Measures 10" x 4.5" and fits all 10-inch Pentair Pentek Big Blue and other heavy-duty housings; drops in to replace any 10" x 4.5" sediment cartridge. - REPLACE EVERY 6 MONTHS - Change about every 6 months, or sooner when you notice a drop in water pressure or water quality; low initial pressure drop under 1 psi at 10 gpm keeps flow high. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0014C09XG | | Best Sellers Rank | #7,929 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #2 in Industrial Process Filter Cartridges | | Brand Name | Pentek | | Compatible Refrigerator Models | Whirlpool WRS325SDHW | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (564) | | External Testing Certification | NSF, ANSI | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00051678359433 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 5"D x 12"W x 5"H | | Item Type Name | Big Blue 10-Inch Sediment Water Filter | | Item Weight | 14.08 ounces | | Manufacturer | Pentair Industries | | Manufacturer Part Number | 155359-43 | | Material Type | Polypropylene (PP) | | Model Number | DGD-2501 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Benefits | Reduces Sediment | | Set Name | 1 micron | | UPC | 643749296350 808112760276 851905131371 132017513751 051678359433 163121152017 798527260358 182682387584 851905124380 807032972370 809390003055 700999877675 163120791132 806294984121 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **External Testing Certification:** NSF, ANSI - **Item Weight:** 14.08 ounces - **Material:** Polypropylene (PP) - **Product Benefits:** Reduces Sediment - **Product Dimensions:** 5"D x 12"W x 5"H ## Images ![Big Blue 10-Inch Sediment Filter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51EZ31FAazL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Set** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the projected longevity in months?** A: Thank you for your inquiry! The average projected longevity is about 3-months. **Q: silly question but is spun the same as woven? I know I need to get woven and not paper filter.... the spun polypropelene is throwing me** A: spun is smooth outside, woven is like a continues string, pleat is paper with wire over sometimes, but not always. the 5005is good all around for most use, carbon or black is for strong smell, woven for sediment sand or fine silt. hope it helps somegene **Q: I notice this filter does not have seals on the two ends to prevent unfiltered water bypassing. Do you have to add seals when installing?** A: The filter element fits into the filter body and there is a circular raised area about 3/4" high in the bottom. After you clean any sediment out of the bottom of the filter, place one end of the filter element over this. Very important, lubricate the "O" with Vaseline, seat it in the groove at the top of the filter body, screw together with the wrench (sold by Amazon), turn on the water and check for leaks. **Q: Made in? USA? China? Korea? Mexico?** A: These are manufactured by Pentair who has multiple manufacturing facilities both in the USA and in other countries throughout the world. These filters at this date (January 2020) are manufactured in house in our Pentair facility in China. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pentair Pentek DGD-2501 Big Blue Water Filter, 10-Inch Whole House Sediment Filter Cartridge Replacement, Dual-Gradient Density Spun Polypropylene, 10" x 4.5", 1 Micron, Pack of 1 - Captain O-Ring - Replacement 151122 O-Rings Compatible with Pentair Pentek Big Blue Water Filters OEM Size ORing Buna-N (3 Pack) - Pentair Pentek 150237 Big Blue Filter Housing, 1" NPT #10 Whole House Heavy Duty Water Filter Housing with High-Flow Polypropylene (HFPP) Cap and Pressure Relief Button, 10-Inch, Black/Blue --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/7876454-big-blue-10-inch-sediment-filter](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/7876454-big-blue-10-inch-sediment-filter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-09-06*
