Description
Water Softener Inline Filter with Bypass 1" for the Whole House + FCCST10BB Cartridge is a complete water filter designed for installation on the main water line, intended to reduce water hardness and limit limescale buildup. The set is based on a 10" Big Blue housing with a built-in bypass, providing convenient operation, easy servicing, and flexible performance of the entire water filtration system. The kit includes the FCCST10BB softening filter cartridge, and the additional 3/8" connection makes it easy to integrate with solutions such as reverse osmosis or another system supporting water treatment in the home.
Complete 10" Big Blue inline softener for the home
This set has been prepared as a versatile and reliable solution for whole-house water filtration. The 10" BB housing with bypass allows convenient flow control, simplifies maintenance, and makes it easy to quickly adjust the system operation to current needs.
It is a practical solution for users who want to reduce the effects of hard water, better protect the plumbing system, and simplify everyday operation of the treatment system.
Key advantages of the set
- 10" Big Blue housing with built-in bypass,
- 3 operating modes: filtration, bypass and shut-off,
- control valve for quick mode switching,
- excess pressure relief button for safe operation,
- FCCST10BB softening cartridge included,
- 1" connection thread,
- 1" to 3/4" reducer included,
- additional 3/8" connection for easier cooperation with RO installations,
- ability to use various filter cartridges,
- universal use in the home and in selected utility systems.
Bypass and full control over water flow
The built-in bypass is one of the most important elements of this set. It allows you to manage the water flow without dismantling the unit and significantly improves convenience during everyday use and servicing.
3 valve operating modes
- Service – water flows through the filter and is filtered.
- Bypass – water bypasses filtration.
- Off – the water is completely shut off.
As a result, you can freely switch the system between normal filtration, temporary cartridge bypass, and complete flow shut-off. This solution increases flexibility and makes it easier to adapt the housing operation to various operating situations.
Innovative control valve design
The control valve allows easy switching between three operating modes: filtration, bypass, and shut-off. Operation is quick and intuitive, which translates into everyday convenience.
FCCST10BB Aquafilter softening cartridge
The set includes the FCCST10BB water softening cartridge, designed to reduce water hardness and limit limescale buildup. It is a particularly useful element where hard water affects user comfort, the condition of the installation, and the durability of household appliances.
What the FCCST10BB cartridge provides
- reduction of water hardness,
- reduction of limescale buildup,
- ion-exchange resin effectively removing calcium and magnesium ions,
- reduction of lime scale deposits in installations and devices,
- improved performance of household appliances such as washing machines and dishwashers,
- support in protecting water installations and heating boilers,
- easy installation in home filtration systems.
The use of ion-exchange media helps limit the negative impact of hard water on fittings, pipes, heating elements, and household appliances. It is a practical way to reduce limescale buildup and maintain the efficiency of the installation.
Safe operation and easier servicing
The housing is equipped with an excess pressure relief button. This practical solution increases user safety and simplifies servicing tasks related to opening the housing.
Releasing excess pressure before servicing the housing helps prepare the unit more conveniently for maintenance or cartridge replacement. As a result, everyday operation is more comfortable and servicing work is smoother.
Before servicing, replacing the cartridge, or opening the housing, switch the appropriate operating mode and use the pressure relief button to make safe operation of the unit easier.
Compatibility with RO systems and flexible application
The additional 3/8" connection makes it easier to integrate the set with RO solutions. This allows the housing to work with systems where a osmotic filter, reverse osmosis filter, or an advanced reverse osmosis system is used.
This solution increases the versatility of the entire set and makes it easier to match it to the existing water installation.
Versatile applications
The 10" BB housing with bypass can be installed in various locations thanks to universal connectors and the ability to use different types of filter cartridges. It works well both in home applications and in selected utility systems where convenient flow control and easy service access are needed.
