A Jumbo 20" water filter housing is a high-capacity filtration system designed to hold large water filter cartridges (20 inches in length, typically 4.5 inches in diameter). These housings are often used for whole-house, commercial, or industrial water filtration.
✅ Benefits:
High Flow Rate: Suitable for applications requiring high volumes of water (ideal for large homes, commercial or industrial use).
Longer Filter Life: The larger size allows for more filter media, resulting in longer intervals between cartridge replacements.
Versatility: Compatible with a wide range of filter cartridges (sediment, carbon block, iron removal, etc.).
Improved Water Quality: Removes sediment, chlorine, rust, scale, and other contaminants, depending on the cartridge used.
Durability: Made from heavy-duty materials such as reinforced polypropylene; withstands higher pressures and longer use.
🛠️ Features:
Size: Accommodates 20" x 4.5" "Big Blue" style cartridges.
Material: Heavy-duty polypropylene or stainless steel options available.
Pressure Rating: Typically handles 90–125 PSI (check manufacturer specs).
O-Ring Seal: Ensures leak-proof operation; often includes a pressure relief button for easy cartridge changes.
Thread Type: Usually has NPT (National Pipe Thread) ports—commonly 1", 1.25", or 1.5".
📌 Applications:
Residential:
Whole House Filtration: Removes sediment and chlorine before water reaches taps and appliances.
Well Water Systems: First line of defense for removing sand, silt, and debris.
Commercial:
Restaurants and Cafes: Ensures clean, odor-free water for cooking and beverages.
Laundries and Hotels: Protects plumbing and improves water quality for guests.
Industrial:
Manufacturing Plants: Pre-treatment for equipment to reduce scale and sediment.
Agriculture: Used for irrigation systems to prevent clogging from particulates.
🧰 Usage & Installation Tips:
Placement: Install at the main water entry point to filter all incoming water.
Mounting: Use a wall bracket for secure installation; make sure it's level and accessible.
Cartridge Type: Choose the right filter for your needs:
Sediment (5, 10, 20 micron)
Carbon block (for chlorine, taste, odor)
Specialty filters (iron, heavy metals, etc.)
Maintenance: Replace filters every 6-12 months depending on water quality and usage.
Tools Needed:
Filter wrench (for tightening/loosening)
Plumber’s tape for fittings
Pressure gauge (optional) for monitoring performance
