| Advanced design combines 
                  selective "final filtration" with appropriate "pre-filtration" 
                  to achieve up to three times the dirt holding capacity of similar 
                  size sediment cartridges, and many times that of standard spun 
                  or string wound cartridges. Both the pre- and 
                  post filter components of the DGD Series Cartridges are separate 
                  gradient density filters. Gradient density filters reduce larger 
                  particles, which would blind-off ordinary surface filters, on 
                  their outer layers while reducing the finer particles on their 
                  inner layers. This design maximizes utilization of the filtration 
                  media. |
