Get high-capacity sediment filtration in a compact 10" cartridge with the Pentek DGD-5005 (Item #155357-43). Sized for standard 10" Big Blue filter housings, this dual-gradient density cartridge combines a 50-micron nominal outer pre-filter layer with a 5-micron nominal inner post-filter layer in a single unit — eliminating the need for a separate step-down filtration system.

Made from 100% pure polypropylene, the DGD-5005 offers up to three times the dirt-holding capacity of standard spun or string-wound cartridges of the same size, with an effective filter depth of 233% compared to conventional designs. The graded density construction reduces particle load progressively as water passes through, supporting a flow rate of up to 10 GPM while keeping pressure drop low and extending time between cartridge changes.

Resistant to chemicals and bacteria, the DGD-5005 won't impart taste, odor, or color to filtered water, making it a reliable choice for residential, rural, commercial, or municipal applications. It's a direct-fit replacement for Pentek Big Blue and most other standard 10" x 4.5" heavy duty filter housings, effectively reducing sand, silt, rust, and scale particles from your water supply.
