Microplastics have become an increasingly alarming presence in tap water, raising concerns about the quality and safety of what flows from every faucet in your home. These tiny plastic particles, often invisible to the naked eye, have been found in water supplies worldwide, prompting a need for effective filtration solutions. Without proper treatment, microplastics can pass through conventional filters, making it crucial to invest in a system designed specifically to tackle this emerging contaminant.

The system that solves it

This microplastics reduction system is built around a heavy-duty Big Blue whole-house cartridge housing, engineered to provide robust filtration throughout your entire plumbing network. Featuring a modular, stackable design, the system allows multiple cartridge stages to be combined seamlessly for enhanced contaminant removal. The cartridge media within the housing is precisely matched to target microplastic particles and related emerging organics, ensuring comprehensive filtration without the need for electricity or a drain connection. Maintenance is simplified with a design that enables cartridge changes in just minutes using a spanner wrench, making upkeep straightforward and hassle-free.

• Durable Big Blue whole-house cartridge housing
• Targeted cartridge media tailored to microplastic reduction
• Stackable stages for customizable filtration depth
• No electricity or drainage required
• Easy cartridge replacement with included spanner wrench
• Compatible with Pentek cartridge systems or Fleck/Pentair tank builds

What it does for your home

• Effectively screens out microplastic particles from all tap water
• Creates a precautionary barrier at every faucet in your home
• Adsorbs a range of emerging organic contaminants alongside microplastics
• Provides whole-house filtration or can be installed at point-of-use locations
• Delivers reliable filtration without the complexity of electrical components
• Enables quick, simple cartridge swaps for ongoing performance

By installing this microplastics reduction system, your household benefits from cleaner, safer water flowing everywhere—from the kitchen sink to showers and outdoor taps. This proactive approach enhances your water quality without the need for complex maintenance or additional utilities, providing peace of mind for you and your family.

Why it works

At the heart of this filtration system lies a sub-micron carbon-block cartridge equipped with fine depth media. This media physically captures microplastic particles by screening them out through pores smaller than one micron, effectively blocking these tiny contaminants from passing through. In addition to the physical barrier, the carbon block adsorbs various emerging organic compounds that may be present alongside microplastics in your water supply. The combination of physical filtration and adsorption ensures a thorough reduction of both particulate and chemical pollutants, enhancing the overall safety and quality of your home’s water.

Common questions

Q? How often do I need to change the cartridges? Cartridge lifespan depends on your water quality and usage, but typically they require replacement every few months. The system’s easy cartridge change design, using a spanner wrench, makes maintenance quick and straightforward.

Q? Can this system remove all microplastics from my water? While the system significantly reduces microplastic particles through sub-micron filtration, no filter can guarantee complete removal. However, it serves as an effective precautionary barrier to greatly reduce your household’s exposure to microplastics.

Q? Will the filtration system affect my water pressure? When sized properly, the system maintains normal water flow and pressure throughout your home. We offer free sizing help to ensure your system supports your household’s water demands without any noticeable pressure drop.
