Description

Elevate your water quality with the 20" Big Blue Cation Resin Filter, designed for hardness reduction and water softening. This filter, sized at 4.5-inch x 20-inch, perfectly fits Big Blue filter housings. Utilizing an ion exchange process, it effectively reduces calcium and magnesium in tap water, softening it for various applications. While also capable of removing low concentrations of iron in tap water, it's recommended to use an Iron filter for iron levels of 0.3 PPM and higher. Ideal for preventing hard water scale, this filter protects your appliances like espresso machines and washing machines from scale build-up. Boasting a high capacity with a softening capacity of 4500 grains of hardness and a maximum flow of 5 GPM, this filter ensures optimal performance. Operating within a temperature range of 40°F-100°F and a pressure range of 40-80 PSI, it's crucial to maintain a minimum operating pressure of 60 PSI to avoid home water pressure drops. Individually wrapped and stored in ideal conditions, this Cation filter guarantees longevity. To prevent rapid buildups, install this filter after the sediment filter and follow it with a CTO or GAC carbon filter to combat unpleasant odors effectively.</p>

Size: 4.5" x 20", fits Big Blue filter housings
Ion exchange process - Water Softener Hard Water Filter
Effectively reduces Calcium and Magnesium in tap water
Removes low concentrations of Iron in tap water (for iron levels of 0.3 PPM and higher, use an Iron filter)
Prevents hard water scale
High Capacity - Water Softening Capacity: 4500 Grains of Hardness | Maximum flow: 5 GPM
Operation Temperature Range: 40°F-125°F
Operation Pressure Range: 40-80 PSI (Maintain a minimum operating pressure of 60 PSI to avoid home water pressure drops)
All filters are individually wrapped and should be kept in a closed bag, moist, and stored at room temperature (40 to 75 Fahrenheit)
Caution: Install this filter after the sediment filter to prevent rapid buildups. Follow with a CTO or GAC carbon filter to combat unpleasant odors effectively. Without a carbon filter after the Cation filter, there is no effective way to address the issue of foul odors.

High-Capacity Strong Acid Cation Resin - 5 Lbs Bulk

Our premium High-Capacity Strong Acid Cation Resin, packed in a convenient 5-pound bulk, is designed for domestic applications focused on hardness reduction and water softening.

With versatility in mind, this cation resin is suitable for refilling a 20" x 4.5" cartridge once and 2"x 10" in-line refillable filter housing approximately 10 times or a 2.5"x 10" refillable filter (standard 10" housing) about 7 times.

Key Specifications:

Maximum Recommended Flow: 1.0 GPM (3.79 LPM)
Estimated Capacity: Total 5600 Grains or Approx 96000 PPM
Operation Temperature: 40°F to 125°F (Maximum Temperature)
Maximum Pressure: 80PSI
Total Weight: 5 lbs
Filter Media: Cation Resin
Filter Life: Approximately 10500 Gallons

Utilizing the cation exchange resin cartridge, this solution effectively reduces hardness by releasing Hydrogen (H+) ions or other positively charged ions in exchange for impurity cations present in the water. The process involves passing water containing hardness ions, specifically calcium (Ca2+) and magnesium (Mg2+), through a column housing a strongly acidic cation exchange resin in the sodium (Na+) form. The calcium and magnesium ions are then exchanged for an equivalent number of sodium ions.

Once the resin is exhausted, necessitating recharging, a solution with a high concentration of sodium salts, such as brine (sodium chloride), is passed through the ion exchange resin, a process known as regeneration.

Common Cations: Hydrogen (H+), Sodium (Na+), Potassium (K+), Calcium (Ca+2), Magnesium (Mg+2), Ferrous (Fe+2), Ferric (Fe+3). Upgrade your water softening process with our high-grade cation exchange resin for optimal performance and extended filter life.
