Get the high-quality sediment filters you deserve by ordering P5-20BB Tier1 sediment water filters from us today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis Tier1 comparable filter matches the Pentek DGD-5005-20 specification -- a dual-gradient depth filter designed for 4.5-inch x 20-inch Big Blue housings. The dual-gradient construction is what distinguishes this cartridge from standard single-stage sediment filters, providing multi-stage sediment capture in a single cartridge body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eDual-Gradient Filtration Explained\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eMost sediment filters are wound to a single nominal micron rating throughout the cartridge. The DGD-5005-20 uses a dual-gradient design: the outer layers are wound to a coarser 50-micron rating to capture large particles first, while the inner core is wound to 5 microns to capture finer sediment before water exits the cartridge. This gradient approach significantly extends filter life by distributing particulate load across the full depth of the filter rather than loading the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"overflow-x-auto w-full px-2 mb-6\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"min-w-full border-collapse text-sm leading-[1.7] whitespace-normal\"\u003e\n\u003cthead class=\"text-left\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\" class=\"text-text-100 border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/60 py-2 pr-4 align-top font-bold\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\" class=\"text-text-100 border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/60 py-2 pr-4 align-top font-bold\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/30 py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003eOuter Layer Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/30 py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003e50 microns (nominal)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/30 py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003eInner Core Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/30 py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003e5 microns (nominal)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/30 py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/30 py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003e4.5\" x 20\" (Big Blue)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/30 py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003eFilter Media\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/30 py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003eSpun polypropylene (dual-gradient wound)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/30 py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003eMax Flow Rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/30 py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003e20 GPM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/30 py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003eMax Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/30 py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003e145 degrees F\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/30 py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003eOEM Equivalent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-border-300\/30 py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003ePentek DGD-5005-20, comparable equivalents\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eAdvantages Over Single-Stage Sediment Filters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe dual-gradient design offers two primary advantages over a single-micron filter: longer service life (the coarse outer stage takes the bulk sediment load, preserving the fine inner stage) and more thorough sediment removal in a single cartridge (no need to stack a 50-micron pre-filter ahead of a 5-micron final stage).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eDue to the dual-gradient design, this filter typically lasts longer than a standard single-stage cartridge under equivalent conditions. Inspect based on pressure differential across the housing (a notable pressure drop indicates filter loading) or on a scheduled 3 to 6-month interval for most applications. Well water with heavy silt may require more frequent changes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tier1","offers":[{"title":"Single","offer_id":49823845908791,"sku":"TIER1-P5-20BB","price":33.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2 PACK","offer_id":49823845941559,"sku":"TIER1_P5_20BB_2_PACK","price":67.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"4 PACK","offer_id":49823845974327,"sku":"TIER1_P5_20BB_4_PACK","price":132.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"6 PACK","offer_id":49823846007095,"sku":"TIER1_P5_20BB_6_PACK","price":197.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"24 PACK","offer_id":49823846039863,"sku":"TIER1_P5_20BB_24_PACK","price":715.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0878\/0270\/8279\/files\/tier1-p5-20bb_3.jpg?v=1726425491","url":"https:\/\/discountfilterstorehot.com\/products\/p5-20bb-tier1-sediment-water-filter-grouped","provider":"DiscountFilterStore.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
