Water Filter Housing Jumbo 20″

Description

💧 What is a Jumbo 20″ Water Filter Housing?

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:

1. Sediment (5, 10, 20 micron)
2. Carbon block (for chlorine, taste, odor)
3. Specialty filters (iron, heavy metals, etc.)

• Maintenance: Replace filters every 6-12 months depending on water quality and usage.

Tools Needed:

1. Filter wrench (for tightening/loosening)
2. Plumber’s tape for fittings
3. Pressure gauge (optional) for monitoring performance
