The 10" Big Blue water filter is intended for whole house or industrial applications where high flow rates are required.  The housings feature larger cartridges than our typical drinking water systems, thus enabling them to offer similar filtration performance, but without a noticeable drop in flow.

The carbon filter that removes chlorine is particularly suited to people that have allergies to chlorine, or have medical conditions such as psoriasis or eczema, which are aggravated by it.  Bathing and showering actually draws moisture from the skin and chlorine helps increase the rate of this (in effect making your skin drier).  Some people also believe that chlorine kills off some of the bacteria on your skin that may actually help with such conditions, thus preventing your body's (and nature's) natural responses to them.  Our carbon filters, once installed, mean that your bath, shower, sinks, appliances (washing machines etc.) will all be free from the vast majority (in excess of 95%) of the typical amount of chlorine in your domestic supply.

When compared to the cost of a shower filter (which are typically around £40) this is a much better solution.

Features:

• 1" or 1½" BSP threaded connectors
• Sediment and/or chlorine removal for heavy duty/whole house applications
• Available in 10" (heavy duty) or 20" (very heavy duty) models
• Ideal for industrial applications
• Suitable for domestic applications and whole house chlorine removal
• Cartridges last six months each

Big Blue systems are sold as housings only.  This means you will need to purchase an appropriate cartridge from our cartridges section for use with this product.  Typically, for physical particle removal, you would purchase a sediment cartridge.  For chlorine (taste/odour) removal you would purchase a block carbon filter.  Please ensure when selecting a filter that it matches your housing size (i.e. for this housing a 10" cartridge is required).

We also offer a fixing bracket to tidy up your installation, and a housing spanner (to make unfastening the unit easier), as options with this product.

Installation - basically it needs plumbing in somewhere close to where your water enters the property if you are going to filter your entire house.  Typically, it can be installed using common compression fittings to 15mm or 22mm pipework without too much trouble, however, if you have no plumbing experience you may require assistance for the initial installation (changing cartridges is very simple and can be done yourself).  The system should, in the vast majority of cases, take between 30 to 60 minutes to install in case you need to obtain a quotation from a local plumber.
