HydroLogic BIGboy Dechlorinator & Sediment System w/ KDF85 Catalytic Carbon Filter - 7 GPM - 1-in Inlet/Outlet

Dechlorinated, Low-Sediment Water for Reservoirs and Irrigation - 27.5 x 14.25 x 7.5 in

Tap water often carries chlorine and sediment that can clog emitters, wear pumps and stress the root zone. The BIGboy system treats water at the source with a pleated sediment filter and a catalytic carbon stage. The distributor rates it at up to 99% chlorine removal and up to 95% sediment removal.

This is a high-capacity, wall-mounted unit with a 7 gallons per minute flow rate and 1-inch inlet and outlet connections. It suits regular indoor growers filling larger reservoirs, and commercial growers running continuous irrigation from a single treated supply line.

Key Features & Benefits

• Up to 99% chlorine removal — protects the root zone and the beneficial microbes that live there.
• Up to 95% sediment removal — helps keep emitters, pumps and lines clear.
• Inlet and outlet pressure gauges — show the pressure on both sides so you can judge when the filters need attention.
• Pleated, cleanable sediment filter — can be cleaned rather than only replaced.
• Heavy duty carbon steel wall bracket and filter wrench — included for mounting and filter changes.

Who Should Use the HydroLogic BIGboy Dechlorinator & Sediment System

Growers who fill large reservoirs, run drip or hydroponic systems from municipal water, or need treated water for a whole facility. It also suits anyone replacing the HL 31005 model.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What comes with the system?
A: It includes inlet and outlet pressure gauges, a heavy duty wall-mountable carbon steel bracket, a pleated cleanable sediment filter and a filter wrench.

Q: How much water can it treat?
A: The filter life is 25,000 gallons. With the KDF85 catalytic carbon upgrade filter, the rated life is 50,000 gallons.

Q: What is the flow rate?
A: The system flows at 7 gallons per minute. That is enough to fill reservoirs at a practical pace or feed continuous irrigation.

Q: What is the maximum inlet pressure?
A: Maximum inlet pressure is 80 PSI. Use the gauges to confirm the supply is within range before you run the system.

Q: What does sediment removal mean?
A: Sediment removal means the filter traps suspended particles such as grit that would otherwise travel into pumps and emitters. The pleated sediment filter here can be cleaned.

Q: How often do the housings need replacing?
A: Replace the filter housings every 3 years. Check the filter replacement guide for the schedule of the individual filters.
