🌊 Product Overview
The LiquaGen 4.5” x 10” GAC/UDF + Phosphate Crystals Filter Cartridge is a dual-stage Big Blue cartridge that combines Granular Activated Carbon (GAC/UDF) with phosphate crystals for superior water treatment. The GAC/UDF layer removes chlorine, taste, odor, and organic impurities, while the phosphate media prevents scale buildup and protects plumbing systems from corrosion.
Designed for Big Blue 4.5" x 10” housings, this cartridge delivers higher flow rates and longer service life compared to slimline cartridges, making it the perfect solution for whole-house systems, under-sink filters, and point-of-entry water treatment setups.
