Tier1 20 Micron 10 Inch x 2.5 Inch | 2-Pack Pleated Cellulose Whole House Sediment Water Filter Replacement Cartridge

Whole house water filter systems are placed on the main water line entering your home and are designed to remove rust, sediment, chlorine, and other chemical contaminants from all water entering your house. Consequently, no matter where you are in your home, whether it's the guest bedroom shower, outside hose, kitchen, or bathroom sink, you and your family can enjoy clean, healthy, and great-tasting water.

Not only does a whole house water filter provide the luxury of clean, great-tasting water from every faucet in the house, but it can also help extend the life of appliances that use water, such as dishwashers, water heaters, and washing machines. This is because the filter removes the sediment, chlorine, and other contaminants that would otherwise be entering those appliances.

The actual size of the filter is 9 3/4 inches (length) x 2 1/2 inches (outside diameter), and it features a pleated polyester media with a 20-micron nominal filtration rating and a flow rate of 12 GPM. It is designed to fit most standard 10 x 2.5-inch housings.

The filter is capable of removing a variety of contaminants, including coarse sand, dirt, hard scale, limescale, oxidized iron, particles, sand, and sediment. It is compatible with a wide range of replacement part numbers, including 48237, 49641, 1019124, 155001-131, Ace 49641, W20CL, W20CLa, W34-PR, 583228, Kleen-Plus S1, S1, SIA-D, Cuno Aqua-Pure AP101S, Cuno Aqua-Pure AP110, Do It Best 432695, Flotec FPWF-RS2, GE FXUSC, GE FXWPC, GE FXWSC, GE FXWTC, GE GXWH01C, GE GXWH04F, GE GXWH08C, GE GXWH20F, HF-150, HF-160, HF-360, 583328, 614-800, Omni Regular, OB1, OB5, R12, R14, RS1, RS1-DS, RS1-SS, U24, U25, U26, 155001, S1, Pollenex FWP36, S1, S1A, S-1A, S1A-D, True Value 614-800, US Filter S1, WHCF-WHPL, Whirlpool WHKF-WHPL, RB-AP-110, and 084691794820.

The installation process is straightforward and involves turning off the water supply, removing the used filter cartridge, cleaning the housing, inserting the new filter cartridge, and reconnecting the water supply. It's important to ensure that the o-ring is properly seated to ensure a proper housing seal.

Investing in a sediment-reducing filter can bring several benefits. Sediment in drinking water can be an indication of lead or iron contamination, which can cause serious health issues. Sediment filters can also help protect other appliances and possessions from the harmful effects of particles, which can cause staining, spots, and wear and deterioration on pipes and appliances. Additionally, sediment filters can increase the lifetime of other filtration media already in place in your home by reducing the number of particles and contaminants that would otherwise wear on those other filters.

The 20-micron 10 x 2.5 sediment water filter from Tier1 is a high-quality replacement option that is designed to provide effective filtration, with a 6-month recommended filter life and a durable construction. It is easy to install and compatible with a wide range of whole house water filter systems.
