Frequently Asked Questions

What is the micron rating of the Tier1 CW50 whole house sediment filter?

The Tier1 CW50 is a 50-micron spun polypropylene sediment filter designed to capture dirt, sand, silt, rust, and other coarse particulates from your whole house water supply. This micron rating makes it ideal as a pre-filter to protect downstream filtration systems, water heaters, and household appliances from sediment buildup, while still maintaining strong water flow throughout your home.

How often should I replace the Tier1 CW50 sediment filter?

The Tier1 CW50 whole house sediment filter should typically be replaced every 3 months, though replacement frequency depends on your water quality and household usage. Homes with heavily sedimented well water may need to change it more often, while homes with cleaner municipal water may get slightly longer life. Regular replacement keeps flow rates consistent and prevents sediment from bypassing into your plumbing.

What housings is the CW50 filter compatible with?

The Tier1 CW50 is a Pentek CW50 comparable filter and fits standard 9-3/4" x 4-1/2" Big Blue-style whole house filter housings. It is a direct replacement for the Pentek CW-50 and works with most 10-inch heavy-duty housings from brands that use this universal size, making it a versatile drop-in sediment cartridge for whole house applications.

Is the Tier1 CW50 made from safe, certified materials?

Yes, the Tier1 CW50 is manufactured from 100% pure polypropylene with no binders, adhesives, or surfactants, and the materials used meet FDA standards (CFR Title 21) for food and beverage contact. The spun polypropylene construction ensures reliable sediment reduction without introducing any contaminants back into your water supply.

What contaminants does the Tier1 CW50 reduce?

The Tier1 CW50 is specifically engineered to reduce sediment-based contaminants including dirt, sand, silt, rust flakes, scale particles, and other suspended solids down to 50 microns. It does not reduce chlorine, taste, odor, or chemical contaminants — for those, pair the CW50 with a carbon-based whole house filter as part of a multi-stage filtration setup for complete water treatment.
