Stages of Filtration
1. Sediment filtration
This is a 50 micron sediment filter that will remove sediment, silt, rust and loose particles to ensure clear water.
2. Activated carbon filtration
The activated carbon filter that will remove chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) and bad tastes and odours from the water.
3. Polishing filter
This is a 5 micron sediment filter for finer filtration. It is also used as a polishing filter before the UV light. This is to ensure that the UV light receives clear water which in turn will ensure effective penetration of the UV light through the water.
* Big blue filters are intended for fine filtration and limits apply to water quality and quantity. Have your water tested before installing a big blue filter to ensure that it is the right solution. It is important to note that the volume of water put through the unit as well as the quality of the water will greatly influence the lifetime of the filters.
