Description

Whole House Water Filter for Heavy Metals, Lead, Chlorine, Chloramine, and more

The Premiere BG-20PB whole house water filter for lead is an excellent choice if you live somewhere with aging metal pipes, and/or if your water comes from a public water system that uses chlorine or chloramine to disinfect the water. This point of entry water filter installs at the main water supply line to treat all the water in your home. It reduces lead, heavy metals, chlorine, chloramine, cryptosporidium, giardia, entamoeba, toxoplasma, VOCs, cysts, and sediment. This system includes a 0.5 micron nominal lead reduction cartridge. The lead reducing cartridge is special because it reduces both particulate and soluble lead – other “lead filters” reduce particulate, but not soluble lead so this filter covers all the bases.

Features

  • 0.5 micron nominal filtration reduces lead (soluble and particulate), chlorine, chloramine, cysts (i.e., cryptosporidium, giardia, entamoeba, toxoplasma), VOCs, sediment
  • High dirt holding capacity
  • High adsorptive capacity and efficiency
  • NSF and WQA certified for material safety
  • Tested to NSF standard 53 – This standard establishes minimum requirements for systems designed to reduce specific health-related
    contaminants
  • Coconut shell activated catalytic carbon is an eco-friendly and renewable resource for water purification. It also has a higher contaminant removal than a granular activated carbon filter (GAC filter) which means better tasting water too
  • Estimated capacity: 96%+ reduction of 8.5 pH lead; 95%+ reduction of VOC; 90%+ reduction in chlorine at 2 ppm; 83%+ reduction in chloramine at 3ppm

Other Features and Benefits:

  • Heavy-duty, food grade plastic water filter housing suitable for drinking water filters
  • Screw-off lid with wrench for easy changing of the drop-in water filter cartridge
  • Built in pressure release valve (PRV) to release pressure before changing filters
  • 1″ port which allows for a flow rate of up to 7 gallons per minute
  • Powder coated, rust-resistant bracket. Pre-drilled holes in the bracket allow for easy mounting

Specifications

  • Flow rate: 7 gallons per minute (dependent on incoming water flow)
  • Connection size: 1″ FPT
  • Dimensions: 24″ H X 7.75″ D

Contents

  • BG series 20″ filter housing
  • BG-20PB-RC water filter cartridge
  • Filter wrench
  • Mounting bracket
  • Lag bolts/screws

Filtration Process

Mechanical - A physical barrier traps particles to remove them from water.

Adsorption - Traps particles and some dissolved contaminants through physical and chemical interactions.

Ultrafiltration - Removes ultrafine particles and bacteria.

Multi-stage - Multiple filter stages that target specific contaminants.

Reverse Osmosis - Removes all contaminants to produce pure water.

Alkaline - Increases alkalinity (pH) and antioxidant level.

Adsorption
Type of Filter

Activated Carbon Block - Removes chlorine, organic compounds, and other contaminants from water.

Catalytic Carbon - Removes chloramines and some heavy metals; more effective chlorine and organic compound removal than activated carbon block filters.

Anti Scale - Prevents hard water scale and corrosion.

Sediment - Removes suspended particles such as sand, dirt, rust, and sediment from water.

Pleated - Removes bacteria, viruses, ultrafine particles, and other contaminants from water.

Granular Activated Carbon - Removes chlorine and some other contaminants; less effective particulate filtration compared to carbon block filters.
