Default Pentek EP-20BB Filter

I'm currently using a 20 inch x 4 and 5/8 inch Pentek EP-20BB filter for filtering water from my well. The filters used to last about 4 months. Now they are lasting only a few weeks before slowing down. I used to use a pleated paper type 20 inch filter but it began to stink because of bacterial buildup.

Can you recommend a filter that will last longer?

Default Re: Pentek EP-20BB Filter

Carbon filters should not be used without a pre-filter, and pleated cellulose are not appropriate because of bacterial issues. You need: DGD-5005-20 Water Filters and Pentek DGD500520 Sediment Filter for 20 inch Big Blue Whole House Housings.

Thank you,
