It is often the first point of contact between your water supply and your home and is used as a pre-filtration unit before the water continues to reverse osmosis and activated carbon filters. It catches unwanted particles, including sand, dirt, silt, rust, and other fine particles as they attempt to enter your house??s water system. These particles and pollutants come from water sources, old and dirty pipes, as well as contaminants that are used to treat the water. The Big Blue filters are made of fine-melted polypropylene that are blown and spun into cylinder-like form. Removal of these particles allows filters, such as Carbon Block or GAC (Granular Activated Carbon) filters, as well as household water appliances like boilers, refrigerators, ice-makers, and many more, to perform better for longer periods of time. The Big Blue water filter has wider dimensions than standard water filters, allowing it to process more water in less time for your house.
