## Overview

The Pentair Pentek DGD-5005-20 Big Blue Water Filter is a 20-inch whole house sediment cartridge featuring dual-gradient density spun polypropylene for superior filtration. Certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 42, it removes dirt, sand, and silt down to 5 microns without affecting water taste or odor. Designed for high flow and extended dirt-holding capacity—3 times that of similar filters—this cartridge fits all standard 20" 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: Great filter - Cleans up the water.
Review: Works as expected - I forgot to replace my filter for a year and well I needed a replacement. This looked exactly like the filter I used for last time so I bought it. Installed it and it working as expected. No problems as Its the correct size. Will buy again in 6 months. This time not forgetting to replace it for a year. Changing a water filter sucks when you have no water to clean the housing. Lesson Learned and will have a bucket of water for cleaning. Also not replacing during a freezing winter can help also.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works very well. I will buy it again.
*by L***E on June 13, 2025*

The filter worked very well. The city did some water pipe repairs locally and mud came down the line. The filter was replaced by a plumber after only 3 days. A simple white filter was covered with dirt. The water quality in the house remained excellent. It saved a lot of money replacing fixtures etc.
