20" x 4.5" Scale Inhibitor GAC Filter Cartridge - Chemical Removal & Hard Water Protection

Multi-Function Water Filter Cartridge with Scale Control – Removes Chlorine, PFAS, & Chemical Contaminants While Preventing Hard Water Scale Damage – 20" x 4.5" Big Blue Compatible

The BG-20GAC-SI combines high-performance granular activated carbon filtration with integrated Siliphos scale inhibitor technology in one innovative cartridge. This unique design addresses multiple water quality issues: removing harmful chemical contaminants while preventing hard water scale deposits and corrosion throughout your plumbing system.

Solves Hard Water Problems: The integrated scale inhibitor forms a protective microscopic layer on metal surfaces, preventing lime scale buildup that damages appliances, reduces water flow, and creates costly maintenance issues. Unlike traditional filters that only remove contaminants, this innovative cartridge actively protects your entire water system from hard water damage.

Superior Chemical Removal: Premium coconut shell activated carbon effectively reduces chlorine, chloramines, hydrogen sulfide, pesticides, herbicides, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) for cleaner, better-tasting water throughout your home or business.

Perfect for homes and light commercial applications dealing with both chemical contamination and hard water challenges. This drop-in replacement fits all standard 20" x 4.5" filter housings, making it the ideal upgrade for existing Big Blue and compatible filtration systems.
