Whole House Water Filtration 3 Stage Big System

GENERAL INFO

The Aqua Whole House Triple Stage Water Filtration system is manufactured by Pentair, a global company known for being the quality choice for water treatment professionals due to their strong, reliable brands and product lines. Pentair’s Whole House Water Filtration is a 3 stage system consisting of a pleated filter, dual gradient filter and KDF-GAC filter (Mains supply) and radial flow GAC (Rainwater supply). The whole house system has flow rate of 40 to 50 lpm and is installed at the water’s point of entry (POE) to the house. The system treats all incoming water before it goes into individual supply lines that feed your laundry, bathrooms, kitchen, outside faucets and taps.

The first two filters are for sediment removal. The pleated filter is manufactured from a durable, nonwoven polyester fabric that is suitable for the removal of coarse sediment. The dual gradient filter which is manufactured from 100% pure polypropylene is designed to remove sediment, particles and for cyst reduction. Using an advanced design the filter is able to achieve up to three times the normal dirt holding capacity as other sediment filters. It has a 25 micron outer for larger particles and a 1 micron inner core for finer particles and cysts.

Pentair’s heavy duty Big White® housings offer large capacity filtration for high-flow and heavy sediment applications. These are durable and can last, whereas cheap imitations last half the time or less.

The third filter for mains supply is the KDF-GAC, a two media cartridge consisting of KDF (Kinetic Degradation Fluxion) and GAC (Granulated Activated Carbon). When the KDF media is combined with GAC it strips the chlorine from the water before it contacts the carbon. This frees the carbon to reduce more chemical contaminants including herbicides, pesticides, VOC’s and THM’s. try (POE) to the house. The system treats all incoming water before it goes into individual supply lines that feed your laundry, bathrooms, kitchen, outside faucets and taps. The third filter for rainwater supply the radial flow GAC, a unique radial flow design which offers the benefits of granular activated carbon (GAC) filtration, such as low pressure drop, while at the same time significantly reducing the release of carbon fines commonly associated with GAC style cartridges. It is ideal for point-of-entry (POE) and other high flow rate applications.
