Pentek DGD-2501 Big Blue Sediment Water Filter, 10-Inch, Whole House, 100% Pure Polypropylene Gradient Density Cartridge, 4.5" X 10", 1 micron

Good sediment filters but somehow I like the 5 microns better.

I’ve been using these “dual gradient” whole house water filters for more than 15 years to remove any sediment from our well water. The benefit of a dual gradient filter is they act like two separate filters – the first layers remove larger sediment (e.g. silt, sand) down to 25 microns and the inner layer removes tiny particles –down to 5 microns. These filters do not remove chemicals or improve taste – they simply remove particles/sediment from the water. When our well was first dug, I had to change filters every 2~3 months. Within a year, that slowed to 4~6 months, now after 20 years – I typically change the filter annually, or sooner if I notice a pressure drop. I also have a 3-stage filter system under the kitchen sink for drinking/cooking/ice-cube water which filters to 1 micron and removes bacteria and viruses. Note: The more sediment that is in your water, the more often you will need to change your filter. Some reviewers complained that their filters clogged after only a few months… gee, that is what a filter is supposed to do. Pentair does make another model (DGD-2501) dual gradient filter with a 25 micron prefilter and 1 micron final filter. If I didn’t have separate drinking water filtration system, I would use the DGD-2501 filter – knowing that I would need to change it more often. I highly recommend the Pentair Pentek family of water filters!

Works just like any other water filter and is cheaper than in a retail store.

I have been useing these filters for a while now, they work very well. Best part is that they save installing another filter housing for progressive filter sizes. I have reccomended these to several friends.
