Description
Enhance Water Quality with the DGD-5005-10-BB 10" 5 Micron Dual Gradient BB Filter – Superior Sediment Filtration for Cleaner, Safer Water
The DGD-5005-10-BB filter cartridge stands out in the realm of filter cartridges by offering reliable, dual gradient sediment filtration designed to protect your water treatment system efficiently. Unlike traditional single-layer filters, this 5 micron dual gradient BB filter captures a wider range of sediment particles, preventing buildup and extending the life of downstream components. Trusted for both residential and commercial setups, it’s a smart upgrade for anyone seeking consistent water clarity and system durability.
Key Benefits
- Protects your water system from sediment buildup, reducing maintenance frequency.
- Dual gradient design efficiently traps both large and fine particles for enhanced filtration.
- Compatible with standard 10" housings, ensuring easy integration into existing setups.
- Extends the lifespan of downstream equipment like water softeners and reverse osmosis membranes.
- Constructed with durable materials for consistent performance under various water conditions.
- Improves overall water clarity and quality by removing visible and microscopic sediments.
How It Works
The DGD-5005-10-BB filter utilizes a dual gradient polypropylene media that captures sediment particles in two stages. The outer layers trap larger debris such as sand and rust, while the inner layers capture finer particles down to 5 microns. This layered approach prevents premature clogging and maintains steady water flow through your system.
Installed inside a standard 10-inch filter housing, the cartridge acts as a first-line defense in your water treatment setup, ensuring that downstream components like water softeners and filters receive cleaner water for improved efficiency and longevity.
What to Expect
Immediately after installation, you’ll notice clearer water with reduced sediment presence, which improves the taste and appearance. During the first few weeks, the filter efficiently captures suspended particles without affecting water pressure significantly. Over time, the dual gradient design helps maintain consistent performance by evenly distributing particle capture, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
Regular monitoring and timely replacement based on water usage and sediment levels will keep your system running smoothly, enhancing overall reliability and reducing maintenance headaches.
What’s Inside
- Dual Gradient Polypropylene Media – Provides layered filtration capturing both large and small sediment particles effectively.
- 10-Inch Polypropylene Core – Offers structural support to withstand water pressure while maintaining flow.
- Polypropylene Outer Shell – Durable and resistant to common water contaminants, ensuring long-lasting use.
How to Use
- Turn off the water supply to the filter housing before starting installation.
- Release pressure by opening a nearby faucet or using the housing’s pressure relief valve.
- Unscrew the filter housing carefully and remove the old cartridge if present.
- Insert the DGD-5005-10-BB filter cartridge into the housing, ensuring proper alignment.
- Check the housing O-ring for wear and lubricate or replace if necessary to prevent leaks.
- Screw the housing back into place securely but avoid overtightening.
- Turn the water supply back on slowly and check for leaks.
- Flush the system by running water through the filter for several minutes before use.
