Reviews

Quality degraded. Disappointed because new

"Quality degraded. Disappointed because new filter pleats/folds were not uniformly spaced around the filter and slightly twisted bottom to top. Previous filter was much better."

— Merritt C. (4/5)

— Joe B. (5/5)

Changing my whole house filter

"US Water Systems always knows the exact filter I need and maintains records of all my purchases for quick and easy reference. I included pictures of how I manage any water spillage, during the filter exchange, and put a light coat of silicon grease (provided by USWS) on my o-ring to make the canister easier to remove next season."

— Christopher C. (5/5)

The filter works great. I

"The filter works great. I changed it at 8 months cause I was curious but didn’t need to. I put it on subscription cause the price is good and it’s nice to have extra on hand. After 8 months the filter wasn’t misshapen or anything like I’ve seen with other filters. Definitely worth it."

— Jerry W. (5/5)

"Quality filter, easy to replace, fits perfectly. Still happy that I chose US water systems!"

Q&A

How long does it last?
There’s no fixed lifespan—it depends on your sediment load and water usage. This pleated 5-micron cartridge is designed for longer life thanks to high surface area, but a common guideline is about 3–6 months, replacing sooner if you see a noticeable pressure/flow drop (gauges make this easiest to track).
Will this fit a standard 20"x4.5" Big Blue filter housing?
No. That cartridge has a double O-ring (SOE) end, which locks onto a post inside the housing. A standard 20" × 4.5" Big Blue housing uses DOE (double-open-end) cartridges. This fits this housing : https://uswatersystems.com/products/4-5-x-20-high-flow-filter-housing-1-reinforced
When installing do we remove the strap that is around the filter?
No, the strap should remain on the filter.
How to clean.
The US Water Magna 4.5" x 20" 5 Micron Replacement Cartridge with a 222 seal is a pleated polyester sediment filter designed for high-capacity filtration. These filters are generally intended for replacement rather than cleaning. However, under certain conditions, a light cleaning can temporarily extend their usability. Cleaning Instructions (Temporary Use Only) If you choose to clean the filter for short-term reuse, follow these steps: Shut Off Water Supply: Turn off the main water supply to the filter system. Amazon +3 USWS PDFs +3 Wikipedia +3 Release Pressure: Open a downstream faucet to relieve pressure in the system. The Home Depot +5 Reddit +5 Fountain Filters +5 Remove Filter Housing: Use the appropriate wrench to unscrew the filter housing. Reddit +2 USWS PDFs +2 Reddit +2 Extract the Cartridge: Carefully remove the filter cartridge from the housing. Rinse the Cartridge: Gently rinse the filter with clean water to remove loose debris. Soak if Necessary: If the filter is heavily soiled, soak it in a mild solution of water and a gentle detergent. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the filter media. Rinse Thoroughly: After soaking, rinse the filter thoroughly with clean water to remove any detergent residue. Inspect for Damage: Check the filter for any signs of damage or wear. If the filter media appears compromised, replace the cartridge. Reassemble the Housing: Place the cleaned filter back into the housing and securely reattach it. Restore Water Supply: Turn the water supply back on and check for leaks
