FAQs

1. Why is a sediment filter usually the first stage in a Big Blue filtration system?

A sediment filter is placed first in a Big Blue system to trap large particles like sand, silt, rust, and dirt before they reach finer filtration stages. This not only protects more delicate filters (like carbon or specialty cartridges) from clogging but also extends their lifespan and maintains consistent water pressure throughout your home.

2. What micron rating should I choose for my Big Blue sediment filter?

The ideal micron rating depends on your water source; for municipal water, a 5-micron filter is usually sufficient, while well water often benefits from a coarser 20- or 50-micron filter to catch larger particles. Lower micron filters trap finer particles but may reduce flow more quickly if your water has high sediment content.

3. Can Big Blue filters remove limescale or soften hard water?

Standard Big Blue filters don't soften water or remove hardness minerals like calcium and magnesium, but you can add a cartridge with polyphosphate crystals or integrate a dedicated water softening stage to help prevent scale buildup in your plumbing and appliances.

4. Are Big Blue filter systems suitable for use in commercial or industrial settings?

Yes, Big Blue systems are frequently used in commercial settings due to their high flow rates, durability, and ability to handle large volumes of water. They can be customized with industrial-grade cartridges to handle the specific demands of restaurants, laundromats, clinics, and small manufacturing operations.

5. How does temperature affect the performance of Big Blue water filters?

Big Blue filters are designed for cold water applications, typically handling temperatures up to 100°F (38°C). Exposure to hot water can degrade the filter media and housing, so they should never be used with hot water lines unless specifically rated for high-temperature use.
