Installation Tips: This system installs directly onto your main plumbing line. To prevent leaking, ensure the O-ring is properly lubricated and seated deeply in the groove of the sump. Use the provided wrench to tighten, but do not over-tighten the sump.
First Use: After installing a new cartridge, always flush the system for 5 minutes before using the water.
Maintenance: Disposable filter cartridges generally need replacing every 3 to 6 months (or 13,000 gallons) depending on your water quality. If you notice a sudden reduction in your home's water pressure, it is time to change the filter cartridge early. Caution: Do not use with microbiologically unsafe water without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

Common Questions
Does this filter housing come with a filter cartridge?
No, this package includes the filter housing, bracket, wrench, and screws only. It is a universal size, allowing you to separately purchase and install any standard 4.5-inch by 10-inch filter cartridge that best suits your specific water quality needs.
Will this reduce the water pressure in my house?
The Big Blue housing is specifically designed for high flow rates, featuring a large 1-inch inlet and outlet that allows up to 75 litres of water to pass through per minute. Under normal conditions, you will not notice a drop in pressure. If pressure drops, it usually means your filter cartridge is full and needs replacing.
