The HUM Water 10BB 5005 Dual Gradient Sediment Filter provides high-capacity whole-home filtration with staged sediment capture. This cartridge starts with a coarser outer layer and finishes with a finer inner layer, allowing it to trap larger particles first and smaller debris second. The result: longer lifespan, better flow, and improved protection for the rest of your filtration system.

Ideal for both municipal and well water, especially where sand, rust, scale, or turbidity are present.

Key Benefits

• Dual Gradient Technology
  Larger sediment is captured first, preventing early clogging and maximizing filter life.
• Improves System Performance
  Protects downstream carbon filters, UV systems, and softeners from premature buildup.
• High-Capacity Big Blue Format
  Designed for 10 x 4.5 housings to support higher flow and greater sediment load.
• Reliable and Durable Construction
  Built to maintain strong water pressure while effectively reducing particulate matter.

Specifications

• Size: 10″ x 4.5″ (Big Blue)
• Filtration Type: Dual Gradient Sediment
• Micron Rating: 50 5 Micron
• Removes: Sand, rust, scale, silt, and particulate debris
• Replacement Frequency: 612 months depending on water use and sediment level

When to Replace

Consider changing the filter if you notice:

• Lower water pressure or reduced flow
• Visible sediment or discoloration
• Carbon or secondary filters wearing out faster than expected
• Homes with untreated well water or high sediment levels may require more frequent replacement.
