This dual-purpose 10" x 4.5" Big Blue filter combines a 25-micron polypropylene sediment wrap with a granular activated carbon core to reduce chlorine, sediment, taste, and odor in whole-house point-of-entry applications. The radial flow design delivers higher flow rates while removing 99.06% of chlorine, making it compatible with standard Big Blue housings from GE, Culligan, Dupont, Kenmore, Omnifilter, and Whirlpool.

COMPATIBILITY & APPLICATIONS
Universal Big Blue Fitment
This filter fits any standard 10" x 4.5" Big Blue housing and serves as a direct replacement for GE FXHTC, Pentek RFC-BB, and RFC-BBS models. Compatible with heavy-duty Big Blue housings from GE, Culligan, Dupont, Kenmore, Omnifilter, Whirlpool, and other manufacturers using the standard 4.5" diameter cartridge format. Ideal for whole-house point-of-entry systems requiring both sediment removal and chlorine reduction in a single cartridge, particularly where higher flow rates are needed to serve multiple fixtures simultaneously.
💧 The radial flow design allows water to enter from the outside through the sediment layer, then flow through the carbon core for chemical reduction—this configuration maintains higher flow rates than traditional end-cap designs, making it well-suited for larger homes or applications with simultaneous fixture use.
