• Large filter housing for high-flow and heavy sediment applications
• Reinforced polypropylene sump for strength and chemical resistance
• Use with a 20" x 4-1/2" filter cartridge (sold separately)
• Pressure relief button for easier cartridge replacement
• Initial pressure drop of 1 psi at a flow rate of 15 gpm

These are the standard by which all others are measured. I live on a small farm with 3 low flow wells and they all have their problems. Currently I''m doing a 2 step process bringing water into a cistern and then into the house from there. I''ve had a big blue before the cistern and then one between there and the house for several years now. Good flow, great pressure, never a problem, never a leak. I couldn''t ask for more. I''m now setting up a second cistern for irrigation water and just ordered two more and noticed these are hardly reviewed. It''s a shame as these are a great product.

I know the dimensions are given, but the size of this thing is surprising when seen in person. I had a water softener and charcoal filter installed but felt I needed a prefilter to prevent premature failure of the media in those two filters. I wanted something that would take a large filter so that I wouldn''t have to change it as often and also maximize flow and this thing fits the bill. The life expectancy of the sump is 10 years so I should get plenty of life out of it.

My only complaint is that while directions aren''t necessary, the product doesn''t come with screw to mount it to a bracket, nor does it indicate the proper size. I had to do some research to find the right sizes needed. Those turned out to be 5/16" x 1 1/4" lag bolts for anyone looking at one of these.

Installed this Pentek 20" filter housing along with the Pentek filter cartridge DGD-5005-20 (which filters down to the 5 micron level). Before doing this our well water from the faucet was so cloudy you couldn''t see thru an 8 oz. glass of water. After installing it a 1 gallon jug filled from the faucet is absolutely crystal clear. No more discoloration in the shower, tub, sink, laundry, etc. It works amazingly well. I am no plumber but I figured out how to install it myself using about $20 of parts from Lowes (plastic pipe and couplings, pipe cement/solvent, a shut-off valve, and two 1" to 3/4" adapters). If you have cloudy water from sediment and iron, this unit (with the above filter cartridge) takes care of the problem completely.

I bought this in conjunction with a g.a.c. to filter the sulfer out of my water. It was pretty easy to install. The threaded connection required 8 wraps of teflon tape and to be tightened all the way in order not to leak. Use 5/16 hex screws to fasten. After install there was no more sulfer smell.
