FAQs

1. Why are Big Blue water filters considered better for whole house filtration?

Big Blue water filters are preferred for whole house filtration because of their large housing size, which allows for higher flow rates and longer filter life. Their robust 10" or 20" cartridges can handle higher volumes of water, making them ideal for families or homes with multiple water outlets. This means fewer replacements, better water pressure, and more consistent water quality across the entire house.

2. Can I use a Big Blue filter for well water treatment?

Big Blue filters are commonly used for well water because they can handle high sediment loads, iron, and other common contaminants found in groundwater. Pairing them with the appropriate sediment, carbon, or iron removal cartridges allows them to efficiently protect appliances, pipes, and even your drinking water.

3. What size Big Blue filter should I choose—10 inch or 20 inch?

Choosing between a 10" or 20" Big Blue filter depends on your household size, water usage, and flow rate needs. A 20" filter has twice the surface area of a 10", which means longer lifespan, better pressure retention, and less frequent cartridge changes—making it ideal for larger homes or higher water demand scenarios.

4. Do Big Blue water filters remove chlorine and taste from water?

Yes, when fitted with the right carbon block or granular activated carbon (GAC) cartridges, Big Blue filters effectively reduce chlorine, bad taste, and odours. This not only improves the taste of your drinking water but also prevents the buildup of chlorine in your shower, laundry, and appliances.

5. How often should I replace cartridges in a Big Blue water filter?

Cartridge replacement depends on the type of filter used, water quality, and household consumption. Generally, sediment filters may need replacement every 3–6 months, while carbon filters can last 6–12 months. Monitoring water pressure and clarity helps determine when a change is due.
