PUREPLUS 5-Micron Whole House Filter

This PUREPLUS 5-micron whole house filter is designed to remove fine sediments such as iron oxide, sand, and particles from your water supply, helping maintain cleaner and safer water for daily use. It features a high surface area media that effectively traps impurities while allowing water to flow smoothly through the system. Ideal for homes using well water or areas with high sediment levels, this filter improves water clarity and supports healthier drinking water.

Key Points

The filter is made from food-grade material and is built to last for up to 6 months or 30,000 gallons of water usage. It fits securely into standard models including Pentair Pentek Series S1, EP Series, EPM Series, CCBP, and CEP Series, with the same 10-inch by 4.5-inch dimensions. The polypropylene construction provides durable performance and efficient filtration. It’s especially effective in environments where water sources contain high levels of sediment or particulates.

Benefits

It removes common contaminants like iron oxide and sand, which can affect both the taste and clarity of water. By filtering out fine particles, it helps prevent clogs in pipes and appliances. This filter supports consistent water quality for drinking, cooking, and household use. The design ensures smooth water flow without requiring significant pressure changes.

Usage Recommendations

Install the filter directly into your existing filtration system where the inlet or outlet connects to your main water line. Replace it every 6 months or when you reach 30,000 gallons of usage, whichever comes first. For best results, run the filter continuously and maintain it during seasonal changes when sediment levels may rise. Always ensure the filter is properly seated to avoid leaks or reduced performance.

The filter performs well in homes with well water or older plumbing systems that carry sediment. According to the manufacturer, it maintains effective filtration over time, even under moderate flow conditions. It does not replace a full water softener or purification system but works best as part of a layered water treatment approach.
