Whole House Systems

Big Blue

 

Big Blue Sediment Filters offer the versatility to meet all of your large capacity filtration needs, including high-flow and heavy-sediment application.

Sumps are constructed of durable reinforced polypropylene and are available in both 10” and 20” lengths.

 

The filter should be installed to the main water inlet so then the whole house will get filtered water.

 

The sediment filters are designed to remove sediment such as sand, silt, scale, sludge, and rust particles up to 5 micron in size and reduce rust and iron (dissolved and particulate).

 

Big Blue Carbon

 

The combination of Sediment Filter and Carbon Filter will even improve the quality of the water.

The carbon filter will remove chlorine, odor, reduce organics and improve taste.

 

Sumps are constructed of durable reinforced polypropylene and are available in both 10” and 20” lengths.

 

The filter should be installed to the main water inlet so then the whole house will get filtered water.

 

Automatic Backwash

 

The Automatic Backwash Sediment Filter is designed for the removal of turbidity in the water caused by sand, silt, ferric iron and oxidized manganese or sulfur. It is used in applications such as general turbidity removal and as pre-filtration for ultraviolet sterilizers or water softeners.

 

Sediment filter typically removes the normal suspended solids, down to 20-40 micron range.

 

The automatic backwash system is equipped with the automatic control valve.

 

The control valve is designed to backwash and rinse the media at a set time automatically. This normally occurs every 3-4 days during nighttime. While in the backwashing and rinsing cycle, the media is reclassified to keep it from packing down inside the tank. Also during the backwash and rinse cycle, the valve automatically rinses the media clean, sending unwanted, trapped sediment particles down the drain preparing the unit for continued sediment removal.

 

Automatic Backwash

 

Automatic Backwash Carbon Filter is used for removing chlorine and can remove any trace of salt produced by your softener from your water. Activated carbon absorbs tastes and odors making your water taste cleaner and fresher.

 

Like the Automatic Backwash Sediment Filter, this carbon filter also comes with automatic control valve.

 

The control valve is designed to backwash and rinse the media at a set time automatically. This normally occurs every 3-4 days during nighttime. While in the backwashing and rinsing cycle, the media is reclassified to keep it from packing down inside the tank.

 

Also during the backwash and rinse cycle, the valve automatically rinses the media clean, sending unwanted, trapped sediment particles down the drain preparing the unit for continued process.

 

Water Softener

 

Clean, soft water is a complete sensory experience. You'll be able to feel the softness, taste the difference and see new brightness in your clothing.

 

Water problems may vary from home to home depending on the water source and other factors, for most residential and commercial applications, it is desirable to soften and filter the water. For example, clothes washed in soft water lasts up to 33% longer.

 

Take a person's clothing replacement estimate; multiply it by .33 and the answer equals how much a single person can save on clothing alone.

 

 

Another benefits of having water softener are:

  • You will use less soap
  • Prevent corrosion and costly damage to plumbing and fixtures
  • Removes low levels of iron and manganese (less than 2 ppm)

This water softener comes with automatic control valve. The control valve is designed to regenerate, backwash and rinse the media at a set time automatically. This normally occurs during nighttime.

 

To determine the size of a softener you need, first you need your water analyzed. Call us to help you find out which laboratory perform that water analysis.

 

Calculate the Total Equivalent Hardness (TEH) using this formula:

Hardness =

Manganese x 10 =

Iron x 5 =

---------------------- +

TEH =

 

(TEH x number of people in home x 240) will determine the size of the water softener you need.

 

Iron Remover

 

The presence of iron in the ferric form and manganese will stain clothes and plumbing fixtures. It also affects the taste of beverages. Ferrous iron is in the soluble form and cannot be seen in water. When water containing ferrous iron is exposed to air, the iron oxidizes to the insoluble ferric form. Ferric iron usually appears as rust to black colored particles in the water.

 

There are two types of iron remover, one is Greensand type and the other one is Chemical Free type.

 

Greensand Iron Filter system uses a high quality manganese greensand media. The system is installed in the main water line. When the raw water enters your iron filter it passes down through the filter media and gets oxidized. This causes precipitation of the minerals and any iron, manganese or hydrogen sulfide present in your water supply is trapped resulting in a clean, filtered water flow to your household.

 

The filter media is periodically regenerated automatically, backwashing the trapped minerals to the drain and regenerated by replacing the oxygen. This is done by introducing potassium permanganate to the media. The system comes with the Potassium Permanganate container. With proper installation it removes the following contaminants resulting in healthier water.

Chemical Free Iron Filter system uses atmospheric air to oxidize the iron and sulfur (hydrogen sulfide) in your water and then removes it in a filter bed designed to capture the oxidized material. Its operation is completely chemical-free. It is a complete system for iron removal that is intended for use on private wells that contain up to 10 ppm iron and 4 ppm sulfur. For best results, water pH should be between 6.5 and 10.0.

 

The first operation is the injection of air into the water line by an aerator valve, a unique valve with a built-in, adjustable venturi. The injected air then oxidizes the soluble iron and sulfur in the raw water as it passes through a mixing and air release tank. The fine particles of oxidized iron and sulfur are then filtered out of the water in the filter tank by a bed of specially formulated media. This media is periodically backwashed to waste by the automatic filter valve attached to the top of the tank. The backwashing process rinses the precipitates that have been collected in the bed to your drain line.
