Serv-A-Pure 715002, 20" Big Blue Chloramine Removal Water Filter System
You are purchasing a 20" Big Blue Chloramine Removal water filter system. Chloramines are commonly used in low concentrations as a secondary disinfection method to chlorine. This use of chloramines is becoming more common. Chlorine is being replaced by chloramine which is much more stable and does not dissipate as rapidly.
Chloramines should be removed from water for dialysis, aquariums, hydroponic applications and home brewing beer. Chloramines can interfere with dialysis, hurt aquatic animals, give home brewed beer a medicinal taste, and in hydroponic applications it will stunt the growth and fruit production of plants.
Select Inlet/Outlet Sizing:
You can choose either 1/2", 3/4", 1" or 1-1/2" inlet/outlet sizing. All sizes are male pipe thread connections. Also, the filter system can come equipped with or with ball valves on the inlet/outlet. Installing these ball valves allows you to turn the water off right at the housing when time to change the filter and also isolate the filter housing when changing the filter so the whole house does not drain back through the filter housing. Ball valves are not a necessity but make turning the water off a much simpler task.
Select Chloramine Reduction Filter:
There are three different chloramine reduction filters we offer. Pick from this list below:
- ChlorPlus-20BB: This carbon block cartridge helps to reduce sediment while providing greater chloramine performance capacities than granular carbon. This filter is a 1 micron nominally rated filter
- AF-20-1042-BB: This filter uses Calgon Centaur Catalytic Carbon for emoval of Chloramines and Hydrogen Sulfide
- CRFC-20BB: CRFC water filters are ideal for chloramine taste and odor reduction in point of entry water filter systems and other high flow rate applications. The radial flow carbon filters have a greater life than standard GAC water filters and their flow design helps reduce the presence of carbon fines in the filtered water
Choose the flow direction that flow through your housing once it is installed. It will be either left to right or right to left. If you choose the wrong direction, that is ok. Once you receive the housing the bracket and gauges (if ordered) would just have to be turned around.
Select Pressure Gauges:
Having pressure gauges installed allow you to monitor the pressure drop of your system. If the pressure drop becomes too high, you know it is time to change out your filter. You have 3 different options here:
- 2 Pressure Gauges/No Relief Button: Having 2 pressure gauges installed allow you to see the inlet and outlet pressure of the filter. Once the difference between the 2 gauges becomes too high, you know it is time to change your filter out. Installing 2 gauges removes the pressure relief (red) button from the top of the housing.
- 1 Pressure Gauge/1 Pressure Relief Button: The pressure release button is located on the inlet of the housing and the pressure gauge will be installed on the outlet of the housing. With this option you will always be able to see the outlet pressure of the filter.
- 0 Pressure Gauges/1 Pressure Relief Button: The pressure release button is located on the inlet of the housing and no pressure gauge will be installed.
Select Accessories:
There is only 1 accessory that can be chosen with this filter housing system, a spanner wrench. The spanner wrench fits around the outside of the housing and assists you in removing the sump from the cap when it is time to change the filter. You can choose the standard plastic wrench, the metal life time warranty wrench or no wrench at all.
Drain Valve:
Adding a drain valve to this system can serve 2 purposes. The first is that this gives you a spot to release the pressure on the system when it is time to change the filter. Secondly, it helps remove some of the weight by removing the water from the housing making the system lighter to handle.
Housing Color:
This system can come in 2 different color variations. The standard way is with a black cap and a blue sump. The optional way is to get this system with a blue cap and a clear sump. Having a clear sump allows you to visually inspect the filter without having to remove it from the housing. Technical Specification
