BIG-10 Whole House Water Filter Features
- Wall-mounted systems with 1-inch water inlet ports and a built-in pressure relief valve.
The pressure relief valve is used when changing the filters. After turning off the water to the house, simply press the relief valve on the filter head. This relieves the line pressure allowing the housings to be removed easily without having to turn on the water at a faucet downstream somewhere in the house.
- Includes mounting bracket(s)
- Heavy-duty filters remove suspended material from all water entering homes
- Protects water heater, faucets, and fixtures from damage due to sand, grit, rust, and pipe scale
- Little or no pressure loss
- No discharge from wasted water
- 1 year limited warranty

Features and Benefits of the BIG-10 Whole House Water Filtration System
What Exactly is Sediment? Sediment occurs naturally as particles from the earth (such as dirt, rocks, and minerals) are broken down through weathering and erosion. Not only does sediment consist of minerals, rocks, sand, but it and can also consist of organic particles from plants and microbes. If you’ve ever noticed a yellowish ‘color’ or (murky) cloudiness to municipal or well water, this is usually caused by sediments. Dissolved solids (organic or inorganic) are also considered sediments, and these may or may not be seen with the naked eye.
How can Sediments Affect Me? Sediment can affect the quality of water by causing wear and tear to indoor plumbing, water pumps, and water appliances (such as washing machines, dishwashers, and refrigerator ice makers). Sediment can clog your pipes or water system resulting in reduced water flow, or even the breakdown of appliances. Sediment can also be a potential health risk… pathogens attach themselves to sediment and can hitch a ride right into your drinking water. These waterborne contaminants include microbes such as bacteria, viruses, and protozoa; pollutants such as fertilizers and pesticides; and dissolved metals like mercury, lead, and arsenic.
Why is Carbon Used to Filter Water? Carbon is probably the most absorbent material known to man. It’s widely used in water filtration AND air filtration. Carbon’s uniqueness comes from its ability to adsorb impurities into its thousands of tiny pores. In fact, 1 pound of carbon has a filtering surface area of 100 football fields.
Granular Activated Carbon – Activated carbon is produced by heating organic matter, such as coal, wood, or coconut shell, in the absence of air, which is then crushed into carbon granules. Because activated carbon is positively charged it’s able to remove negatively charged contaminants from water such as chlorine, fluorides, and dissolved organic solutes by absorption.
