Description
Triple Whole House Water Filter System for Tank Water. Comes with three 20″ x 4.5″ Big Blue Water Filter Housings on a stainless steel bracket. This unit has disposable filters which are simply discarded once they have reached full capacity.
This larger filtration unit is ideal for busy households or businesses. Having three cartridges allows the use of multiple sediment or carbon filters for improved sediment or chemical reduction.
Comes with three high-quality Big Blue housings, a stainless steel bracket, sump spanner, and the filters of your choice. A pressure limiting valve is an optional extra, recommended for installation where water pressure may exceed 550kpa.
The carbon filters use silver impregnated carbon, which is bacteriostatic — reducing the risk of bacteria growing within the carbon itself. This is helpful when using untreated rain water, bore water, or creek water as it reduces the risk of the carbon fouling. Please note: if you think bacteria or other pathogens are in your water, a UV Steriliser is recommended to kill or neutralise them.
The Triple Big Blue housings take standard 20″ x 4.5″ double open ended (DOE) filters. This is an industry-standard size, which makes finding replacement filters simple. You will never have any issues sourcing replacement components and there is a large selection of compatible products available.
Features
- Triple Big Blue Housing with Stainless Steel Bracket and Sump Spanner
- Uses standard 20″ x 4.5″ Double Open Ended Filters
- Multiple filter options available
- Ideal for rainwater, creek water, river water, and bore water*
- Optional stainless steel cover available
* Please note: This unit will not reduce pathogens like viruses, bacteria, cryptosporidium, or giardia. If you suspect your source water contains pathogens, a UV steriliser or finer filtration is recommended.
Filter Options
The following filter options are available. Please contact us if you require a different combination of filters.
Option 1: Improved Sediment Reduction
Option 1: 2045PS20, 2045PS5, 2045CB5Silver
Option 1 is designed for water that contains more sediment. It has two disposable sediment filters followed by a single disposable silver impregnated carbon filter.
Stage 1: 20 Micron Disposable Polyspun Sediment Filter (2045PS20)
The first sage is a 20 micron sediment filter for reducing particulate contaminants including rust, sand, silt, dust, dirt, faeces, leaf matter, algae, and general sediment particles. It is made from dense food-grade polypropylene.
Once the filter has reached maximum capacity, it is simply discarded and a fresh filter is inserted into the housing.
Other micron ratings are also available.
Stage 2: 5 Micron Disposable Polyspun Sediment Filter (2045PS5)
A finer sediment filter to capture even smaller particles. This combination of two sediment filters produces very clean water with much lower levels of turbidity and particulates.
Stage 3: 5 Micron Disposable Silver Impregnated Carbon Filter (2045CB5Silver)
A 5 micron silver impregnated carbon block to reduce bad taste/odour, chemical overspray (pesticides, herbicides, insecticides), and other chemical compounds. Excellent capacity and reduction rates.
Please note that there are various micron ratings available, so you are able to customise filters to suit your water quality. In most cases, slightly dirty water can be treated with a 20 micron sediment filter, followed by a 5 micron sediment filter. It provides a reasonable balance of performance and filter lifespan.
If you water is coming from a dam or bore and is very dirty, it may require additional pre-filtration to remove the larger sediment particles.
Option 2: Improved Chemical Reduction
Option 2: 2045PS5, 2045CB5Silver, 2045CB0.5Silver
Option 2 includes one sediment filter followed by two carbon filters. Ideal for situations where you have very clean water and want to focus on chemical reduction or taste/odour improvement.
Stage 1: 5 Micron Disposable Polyspun Sediment Filter (2045PS5)
The first sage is a 5 micron sediment filter for reducing particulate contaminants including rust, sand, silt, dust, dirt, faeces, leaf matter, algae, and general sediment particles. It is made from dense food-grade polypropylene.
Once the filter has reached maximum capacity, it is simply discarded and a fresh filter is inserted into the housing. Other micron ratings are also available.
Stage 2: 5 Micron Disposable Silver Impregnated Carbon Filter (2045CB5Silver)
A 5 micron silver impregnated carbon block to reduce bad taste/odour, chemical overspray (pesticides, herbicides, insecticides), and other chemical compounds. Excellent capacity and reduction rates.
Stage 3: 0.5 Micron Disposable Silver Impregnated Carbon Filter (2045CB5Silver)
A super-fine 0.5 micron silver impregnated carbon block which provides even more improvement to water quality. Reduces bad taste/odour and complex chemical molecules which are typically difficult to remove.
Specifications
- Housing Dimensions: 698mm high with bracket x 620mm wide.
- Temperature range: 0.5°C – 37.8°C
- Maximum pressure: Limit pressure to a maximum of 500kPa
- AS/NZS 3497:1998 Amdt 1 2001 Drinking Water Treatment Units Plumbing Requirements
- Watermark Certificate 052014 for Model ID #IT002715
If your water pressure may exceed 80 PSI at any time, a 500 kPa (70 PSI) pressure limiting valve must be installed to protect the housing. Failure to install a PLV on high pressure water can void warranty.
3/4″ BSP female 500 kPa pressure limiting valves are available here: PR20 3/4″Pressure Limiting Valve. If your system has plastic ports do not use pipe dope or other liquid thread sealers. Use only Teflon tape to seal threaded connections.
If a shipping charge does not appear in your cart, it is due to the weight or size of your order being over a certain threshold. We will get back to you with a custom quote on your freight.
