Product snapshot

The Pentek DGD-5005-20 Big Blue sediment filter cartridge is designed for 20-inch Big Blue housings and aims to deliver steady filtration at the source. Made from 100% pure polypropylene, it filters without imparting taste, odor, or color to your water, while offering strong chemical resistance against common household substances. This combination supports a straightforward filtration path suitable for a wide range of settings, from residential use to small commercial applications.

Designed to balance filtration depth with reliable flow, the cartridge pairs a pre-filtration approach with final filtration to capture particulates efficiently. The result is a filtration element that helps protect appliances and improve the clarity of water without complicating maintenance.

Key benefits
