How it works
How does a big blue housing filter work?
The filter housing directs water flow around the filter cartridge you have insides.
- Hard water enters your home from a main water pipe or well, and travels to Big Blue Housing Filter.
- You can put a variety of filters in this cartridge, depending on what you are trying to filter.
- Water might flow through the filter and flow out or go all the way to the bottom and flow up through the media in the drop-in cartridge.
- The purified water leaves the housing filter and flows to a water softener or throughout the plumbing of your home.
