Designed for heavy-duty use, it fits all standard 20" Big Blue housings and offers up to three times the dirt holding capacity of similar filters. Certified by NSF, it effectively removes sediment down to 5 microns without affecting water taste or odor, ensuring cleaner water and longer appliance life. Ideal for residential and commercial applications, it requires replacement every six months or upon pressure drop. ## Description Pentair Pentek DGD Series Cartridges are manufactured from 100% pure polypropylene and are sized for use in Pentair Pentek Big Blue Filter Housings (and other heavy duty 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 and is not prone to bacterial attack. 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. ## Features - KEEP YOUR WATER CLEAN and protect your appliances by removing dirt, sand, silt and particulates - FITS ALL 20" Big Blue or other heavy duty housings and can replace any 20" x 4.5" sediment filter cartridge. - ACHIEVES UP TO 3X the dirt holding capacity of similar size sediment cartridges - NSF CERTIFIED for your peace of mind - REPLACE EVERY 6 MONTHS or when you notice a drop in water pressure or quality ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001VXW0U8 | | Best Sellers Rank | #186,025 in Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Kitchen ) #565 in Water Filter Cartridges | | Brand Name | Pentek | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,150) | | External Testing Certification | ANSI, NSF | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00051678358436 | | Included Components | 1 filter | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 11.4D x 11.4W x 50.8H centimeters | | Item Type Name | Big Blue Sediment Water Filter, 20-Inch, Whole House Heavy Duty Dual-Gradient Density Spun Polypropylene Replacement Filter Cartridge, 20" x 4.5", 5 Micron | | Item Weight | 1.81 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Pentair Industries | | Manufacturer Part Number | 155358-43 | | Material Type | Polypropylene (PP) | | Model Number | DGD-5005-20 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Benefits | Reduces Sediment | | UPC | 051678358436 643749296329 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **External testing certification:** ANSI, NSF - **Item weight:** 821 g - **Material:** Polypropylene (PP) - **Product benefits:** Reduces Sediment - **Product dimensions:** 11.4D x 11.4W x 50.8H centimeters ## Images ![Pentek Pentair DGD-5005-20 Big Blue Sediment Water Filter, 20-Inch, Whole House Heavy Duty Dual-Gradient Density Spun Polypropylene Replacement Filter Cartridge, 20" x 4.5", 5 Micron - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41O4Y1Q0EYL.jpg) ![Pentek Pentair DGD-5005-20 Big Blue Sediment Water Filter, 20-Inch, Whole House Heavy Duty Dual-Gradient Density Spun Polypropylene Replacement Filter Cartridge, 20" x 4.5", 5 Micron - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/816traxi28L.jpg) ![Pentek Pentair DGD-5005-20 Big Blue Sediment Water Filter, 20-Inch, Whole House Heavy Duty Dual-Gradient Density Spun Polypropylene Replacement Filter Cartridge, 20" x 4.5", 5 Micron - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71YuLjXiZRL.jpg) ![Pentek Pentair DGD-5005-20 Big Blue Sediment Water Filter, 20-Inch, Whole House Heavy Duty Dual-Gradient Density Spun Polypropylene Replacement Filter Cartridge, 20" x 4.5", 5 Micron - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61aHZKgvv3L.jpg) ![Pentek Pentair DGD-5005-20 Big Blue Sediment Water Filter, 20-Inch, Whole House Heavy Duty Dual-Gradient Density Spun Polypropylene Replacement Filter Cartridge, 20" x 4.5", 5 Micron - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71PMor+RgcL.jpg) ## Frequently Bought Together - Pentair Pentek DGD-5005-20 Big Blue Water Filter, 20-Inch Whole House Sediment Filter Cartridge Replacement, Dual-Gradient Density Spun Polypropylene, 20" x 4.5", 5 Micron, Pack of 1, White - Captain O-Ring - Replacement 151122 O-Rings Compatible with Pentair Pentek Big Blue Water Filters OEM Size ORing Buna-N (3 Pack) - Pentair Pentek RFC-20BB Big Blue Carbon Water Filter, 20-Inch, Whole House Heavy Duty Radial Flow Carbon Replacement Cartridge with Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) Filter, 20" x 4.5", 25 Micron --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/284356027-pentek-pentair-dgd-5005-20-big-blue-sediment-water-filter](https://www.desertcart.us/products/284356027-pentek-pentair-dgd-5005-20-big-blue-sediment-water-filter) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
