Description
The 20″ Big Blue Housing Kit with 3/4″ ports is a heavy-duty filter housing designed for high-flow residential and light commercial water filtration applications. Built to accept standard 20″ cartridges — including sediment, carbon, and specialty media filters — this robust housing provides reliable performance, easy maintenance, and versatile installation.
Complete with a mounting bracket and housing wrench, this kit makes installation and service fast and simple. It’s ideal as a point-of-entry (POE) whole-house pre-filter or for higher-demand point-of-use systems.
Key Features
- 20″ Big Blue Format – Larger capacity housing accommodates longer filter cartridges for higher flow and extended service life compared to slimline housings.
- 3/4″ Port Size – Standard 3/4″ inlet and outlet fittings provide compatibility with a wide range of plumbing configurations while supporting good flow for whole-house and point-of-use systems.
- Durable Construction – Rigid, impact-resistant polypropylene housing delivers long-term performance and corrosion resistance.
- Complete Kit – Includes mounting bracket for secure wall/structure installation and a housing wrench for easy filter changes.
- Versatile Filter Compatibility – Works with sediment, carbon, and specialty 20″ cartridges (e.g., GAC, CTO, KDF, fluoride, alkaline media). Filter cartridges sold separately.

Applications
- Whole-House Water Filtration — pre-filter to protect appliances and plumbing from sediment and chlorine odors/taste
- Reverse Osmosis Pre-Filtration — improves RO membrane life by removing particulates and chlorine
- Well or Municipal Water Treatment — reduces sediment, turbidity, and contaminant load before additional treatment stages
- Commercial & Light Industrial Water Filtration — higher flow needs where 10″ housings are insufficient
Maintenance & Replacement
- Replace filter cartridges based on water quality and usage — commonly every 3–12 months
- Use the included wrench to loosen and remove the housing during cartridge changes
- Periodically inspect O-rings and seals; lubricate with food-grade silicone and replace if worn
