WHOLE HOUSE FILTER HIGH WATER FLOW MULTIPLE USE

Effective water filtration at the building inlet

The BIG BLUE 20" water filter housing set with a 5 micron accordion mechanical cartridge is designed to work on the pipe supplying cold water to a house or apartment. It is a practical solution for those who want to capture mechanical impurities right at the beginning of the installation and thereby limit their passage to the downstream elements of the system.

The filter removes typical mechanical contaminants such as sand, rust, and various suspensions. As a result, it supports everyday water treatment in the installation and improves the operating conditions of the next devices installed in the system.

Main advantages of the BIG BLUE 20" set

• installation on the pipe supplying cold water to a house or apartment,
• single or series installation possible,
• suitable for domestic and industrial use,
• effective protection of the installation and devices against contaminant buildup,
• 5 micron filtration accuracy,
• high efficiency with low pressure drop,
• reusable accordion cartridge that can be put back into service after washing,
• housing with an air bleed valve and pressure gauge for easy cartridge status monitoring,
• possibility to add an additional pressure gauge to measure water inlet and outlet pressure.

How the 5 micron accordion cartridge works

The mechanical accordion cartridge used here captures solid impurities present in the water. The 5 micron filtration accuracy makes it possible to effectively reduce the presence of particles that could accelerate wear of fittings, valves, and treatment devices.

A major advantage of this solution is the possibility of reusing the cartridge after washing. It is a convenient option for users looking for a durable solution for cold water and wanting to maintain high filtration performance without having to replace it every time after the first contamination.

Mechanical contaminants removed

• sand,
• rust,
• suspended particles.

Protection of the installation and devices

The BIG BLUE 20" filter helps protect plumbing components and devices sensitive to mechanical contaminants. This is especially important where water supplies several draw-off points and devices operating in the system that require pre-filtration.

• protects water softeners,
• protects iron filters,
• protects boilers,
• reduces contaminant buildup in the installation.

In practice, it is a good first stage of water filtration for the whole building. Such a water filter can serve as a standalone solution for installation protection or as part of a larger water treatment system.

BIG BLUE housing construction

The BIG BLUE in-line housing consists of two parts: the bowl and the head with a 1" brass thread. This design ensures convenient operation and secure installation in the system.

The housing includes an air release valve that makes it easier to vent air after replacing the cartridge. In addition, the filter is equipped with a pressure gauge that allows monitoring the contamination status of the cartridges, simplifying day-to-day assessment of the set's operation.

An important element is also the brass insert, which makes it easier to install and remove the air release valve and the pressure gauge. The housing can also be expanded with an additional pressure gauge to measure water inlet and outlet pressure. The second pressure gauge must be purchased separately.

Application in houses, apartments and utility buildings

The BIG BLUE 20" model works wherever a high water flow and effective mechanical filtration are needed at the same time. The possibility of single or series installation allows the system to be adapted to the specific installation and desired level of protection.

This solution is suitable for:

• single-family homes,
• apartments,
• installations supplying water treatment devices,
• selected industrial applications.

In extended systems, it can operate as a pre-stage before further water treatment. In practice, it works well with solutions used later in the installation, including when the system involves more advanced technologies such as a membrane filter, reverse osmosis filter, reverse osmosis system, or reverse osmosis at drinking water draw-off points.

Operation and ease of use

The filter has been designed with convenient everyday operation in mind. High efficiency with low pressure drop makes it well suited for operation on the main water connection. At the same time, monitoring via the pressure gauge makes it easier to assess the level of cartridge contamination.

The cartridge life is from 3 to 6 months, depending on water quality. With a higher contaminant load, this period may be shorter, while the possibility of washing the cartridge and reusing it increases the functionality of the entire set.
