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, by removing the sediment, chlorine, and other contaminants that would otherwise be entering those appliances.

The installation process for this whole house water filter system is relatively straightforward. First, turn off the water supply and press the red pressure-relief button (if present). Next, unscrew the housing, remove the large o-ring, and discard the used filter cartridge. Wash the housing with dish soap and warm water using a nonabrasive sponge or cloth, rinse thoroughly, and then fill it 1/3 with water. Add about 1 tablespoon of bleach and scrub to disinfect, then rinse thoroughly. Lubricate the o-ring with clean silicone grease and insert it into the groove, making sure it is seated level. Insert the new filter cartridge, screw the housing onto the cap, and hand-tighten (do not over-tighten). Finally, turn on the water supply, press the pressure-relief button (if present), and check for leaks before leaving the installation.

Sediment in drinking water is not particularly harmful to humans or pets, but it can be an indication of lead or iron contamination, which can cause serious health issues. If you suspect there is lead in your pipes, it is recommended to get your water tested. Sediment filters can help protect other appliances and possessions from the harmful effects of particles, which can cause staining and spots on clothes, sinks, toilets, and more, as well as wear and deterioration on pipes and appliances. If other filtration media are already in place in your home, sediment filters can serve as a first line of defense, increasing the lifetime of your other filters by reducing the number of particles and contaminants that would otherwise wear on them.

The 30 Micron 10 x 2.5 sediment water filter is a high-quality replacement option that is able to achieve filtration down to 30 microns, improving water quality at a flow rate of 10 GPM and reducing sediment, rust, dirt, sand, silt, and corrosion. It is recommended to replace this filter cartridge every 6 months, depending on the quality of your water, to ensure optimal performance. Tier1 products undergo strict quality assurance testing and are manufactured using the highest-quality materials, ensuring a durable and reliable product.
