Enjoy Clean, Clear, Sediment and Chlorine Free Water at Every Faucet
The three (3) 4.5"X 20" BB specialty filters can effectively treat a variety of water concerns. This filter combo system can effectively filter out sediment, chemicals and iron to deliver cleaner more manageable water to every faucet for all your water needs. Uniquely designed for versatile use to meet all of your large capacity filtration needs. Suitable for simple whole house filtration, light commercial use or industrial applications with a fast flow rate.
The 1st stage Sediment filter captures and traps dirt, sand, silt, scale and rust particles down to 30 microns. This durable, polyester filter has a pleated design to maximize dirt-holding capacity and is washable and reusable. The 2nd stage Iron filter utilizes high purity manganese dioxide to effectively reduce iron, iron staining and the metallic taste in your water by converting soluble ferrous iron into insoluble ferric iron. The 3rd stage Carbon filter is a radial flow granular activated carbon (GAC) cartridge that adsorbs the insoluble ferric iron to effectively treat iron. Lastly, chlorine, odors, taste and organic compounds are removed by the carbon filter to provide chemical-free water to every faucet and water outlet.
You can enjoy all these benefits:
Reduces fine particles, rust, and sediment for cleaner and clearer water.
Chlorine free water for softer skin and smoother hair after every shower.
Improved water taste and completely odor-free, perfect for beverage shop owners or small restaurants.
Protects against harmful chemicals and organic compounds (VOCs) in tap water.
Eliminates ugly orange and brown iron and mineral stains that help protect appliances and fixtures.
Reduces formation of iron and mineral deposits and potential for clogs.

Makes a big difference in the water qualityMy home has a deep well with a lot of iron. When I bought the home there was a small filter that removed most of the suspended iron but some got through and discolored the sink and toilet. The water also had a sulfur smell. I installed the filter system about 5 years ago and it has solved the discoloration and sulfur smell.I would give 5 stars if there was a drain values at the bottom of the Big Blue filter housing so when changing the filters I didn’t have to deal with the mess and weight of the filter housing filled with water.

Water filter systemsI purchased these replacement filters for my system that was installed 2 years ago.
This sets works very well for the area I live in. We have extremely hard water that will leave mineral rings with any amount of water that is left on the counter or in the sinks. These filters remove nearly all the mineral deposit problems.

Just what I needI have purchased the filters from APEC because I have had great success with my water filtration and purification system with their products.

Easy to InstallWhen I built a new house 13 months ago, I specified the APEC CB3-SED-IRON-CAB20-BB system for our house. Oh, the "poor" plumber resisted because he had to purchase it from Lowes since his plumbing company did not carry it. He did install the system just fine, but struggled with the filters and used some silicone caulk to seal them from leaking. Not sure why. I had no trouble removing the filter cases, although I did have to clean the silicone residue away from the housing. Once I did this, I cleaned the O-rings and lubricated them with some Vaseline. Then I installed the new filters. No leaks...no problems. Don't know why the plumber had made such a big deal out of this. This system works great. My only suggestion: The directions that come with the filters suggest that the O-rings be replaced at the same time. This was not mentioned to me by the customer service rep who took my order. New O-rings should be added to their script.
