Tier1 20 Micron 10 Inch x 4.5 Inch | 6-Pack Whole House Sediment Water Filter Replacement Cartridge

Whole house water filter systems are designed to remove rust, sediment, chlorine, and other chemical contaminants from all water entering your home, ensuring that every tap in your house, from the guest bedroom shower to the outdoor hose, provides clean, healthy, and great-tasting water for you and your family. These filters are placed on the main water line entering your home, making it convenient to have access to filtered water throughout your living space.

Not only do whole house water filters provide the luxury of clean, great-tasting water from every faucet, but they can also help extend the life of appliances that use water, such as dishwashers, water heaters, and washing machines. This is because the filters remove the sediment, chlorine, and other contaminants that would otherwise enter and potentially damage these appliances.

The Tier1 20-micron sediment filter is a compatible replacement for the SWC-45-1020 and fits most 10-inch water filter housings. With its high-capacity, string-wound polypropylene construction, this filter is able to achieve filtration down to 20 microns, improving water quality and reducing sediment, rust, dirt, sand, silt, and corrosion.

Regarding the installation process, it is a straightforward and easy task. The steps involve turning off the water supply, unscrewing the housing, removing the used filter cartridge, cleaning the housing, inserting the new filter, and reassembling the system. It is important to ensure that the O-ring is properly seated to ensure a tight seal and prevent any leaks.

As for the filter's lifespan, it is recommended to replace the cartridge every 6 months, depending on the quality of your water, to maintain optimal performance. Tier1 products undergo strict quality assurance testing and are manufactured using the highest-quality materials, ensuring durability and reliability.

Sediment in drinking water, while not necessarily harmful to humans or pets, can be an indication of lead or iron contamination, which can have serious health implications. Therefore, it is essential to get your water tested if you suspect lead in your pipes. Sediment filters 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.

If you already have other filtration media in place in your home, a sediment filter can serve as the first line of defense, increasing the lifetime of your other filters by reducing the number of particles and contaminants that would otherwise wear them down.

In conclusion, the Tier1 20-micron sediment filter is a reliable and efficient solution for whole house water filtration, providing clean, great-tasting water throughout your home while also protecting your appliances and possessions from the harmful effects of sediment and contaminants.
