FILTER SYSTEM POLYPHOSPHATE

The Aqua Flo 160200 is a high-flow whole-house filtration system with built-in scale control, designed to protect plumbing and appliances while improving overall water quality. It uses a large-capacity Big Blue 20" filter housing and polyphosphate media to reduce scale formation and sediment.

⚙️ Key Features

• Polyphosphate Scale Control:
  Helps prevent limescale buildup by coating minerals (calcium & magnesium) instead of removing them
• Sediment Filtration (5 Micron):
  Captures dirt, sand, rust, and debris larger than 5 microns
• High-Flow 1" Ports:
  Designed for whole-house use with flow rates up to ~8 GPM
• Large 20" Big Blue Cartridge:
  • Size: 4.5" × 20"
  • High dirt-holding capacity = longer service life
• NSF / ANSI Certified:
  Meets recognized standards for water treatment components
