FAQs on 10x4.5 Water Sediment Filter

What is a 10 x 4.5 water filter used for?

Generally, 10x4.5 water filter cartridge replacements are used for whole house filtration systems where the water enters the home. They may also be used as a pre-filter in RO systems and other under sink water filters, RV filters, or for other water filtration setups.
Yes, the 10-inch big blue filter name is an alternate name given to 10" x 4.5" filters by the brand Pentek. It has become an industry standard to refer to 4.5" filters as "big blue" or "BB" filters as a result.
How often you replace your sediment cartridge depends upon several factors, including contaminant levels, usage, micron rating, media type, water temperature and pressure, and more. In general, we recommend replacing your cartridge every 2-6 months. If you notice a drop in pressure, it is time for replacement.
The rating you choose depends upon the degree of filtration needed, application, water quality, desired flow rate, etc. Smaller micron ratings offer finer filtration. For most whole house applications, 10 to 25 micron filters are adequate. If replacing frequently, you may change to 50, 75, or more for your first filter.
As long as your Big Blue housing is a 10” filter housing, our 10x4.5 filters are compatible. SpiroPure 10 x 4.5 filter cartridges will fit into any water filter housing that requires a 10” BB / Big Blue filter replacement.
