Benefits of a 2-Stage, 20-Inch Filtration System:
- Effective Single-Purpose Filtration:
- Targeted Removal: Ideal for specific types of contaminants depending on the filter media used (e.g., sediment, chlorine).
- High Flow Capacity:
- Large Filter Size: The 20-inch filter can handle higher flow rates, making it suitable for applications with high water usage.
- Extended Filter Life:
- Increased Capacity: The larger filter has a greater capacity to hold contaminants, extending the time between replacements.
- Improved Water Quality:
- Focused Filtration: Single-stage systems can significantly improve water quality by addressing a particular issue effectively.
- Simplified Maintenance:
- Easier to Manage: With only one filter to replace, maintenance is straightforward and less frequent compared to multi-stage systems.
- Cost-Effective:
- Lower Initial Cost: Generally, a 1-stage system will be less expensive than multi-stage systems.
- Certifications and Standards:
- Certifications: Look for certifications such as NSF/ANSI (National Sanitation Foundation/American National Standards Institute) for performance and safety
- Compliance: May comply with local or national water safety and quality standards
- 8. Installation and Maintenance:
- Installation: Typically wall-mounted or installed in-line with existing plumbing
- Maintenance: Regular replacement of filters as per manufacturer recommendations; typically requires minimal tools
A 1-stage, 20-inch filtration system is a good choice for applications where you need to address a specific water quality issue efficiently, with the added benefits of high flow capacity and extended filter life due to the larger filter size.
Aqua Soft 2-stage filtration system using 20-inch filters is typically designed for specific, single-purpose filtration needs. Here’s a breakdown of the technical specifications and benefits you might expect from such a system:

Aqua Soft Water Filter Our Whole House water filtration systems are designed to deliver safer, cleaner, water to every faucet and showerhead into the whole house without reducing down water pressure. By using oversized filter cartridges and housings this system maintains the strongest water pressure possible. In addition, these larger housings and filters require less frequent services, which save you time, money, and effort.
Pre-loaded Filter Cartridges:
- 1stStage: 5 Micron Polypropylene Sediment Filter
- 2ndStage: (CTO) Activated Carbon Block Filter
Stage 1: Big-Blue Pre-Filters
the first stage is 5 microns pre-filter designed to remove sediment as well as other biological contaminants. It comes in two options with varying proportions of flow rate and sediment removal.
Stage 2: Big-Blue Carbon Block Filters
Aqua SoftPro uses a very special blend of catalyst combined to reduce contaminants by 99.99% or more, including Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s), lead and other heavy metals, cysts, E Coli, Guardia, Cryptosporidium, taste and odors.
Vertical Hydraulic Gauge
Aqua Soft Having a pressure gauge is helpful in monitoring your incoming water pressure, internal unit pressure & when to replace the filters. It’s best to replace the filters when you see changes in reading start, an increasing pressure drop is a good indication that the cartridges are starting to clog with particulate or the filter’s media is exhausted as the water inside the system can’t pass through the filters normally.
Removes/Reduces:
- Sediment (silt, dirt, rust ETC.)
- Pesticides
- Bad tastes & odors
- Giardia Cysts
- Chlorine
- Turbidity
- Herbicides
- VOCs (volatile organic compounds)
- THMs (Trihalomethanes)
- MTBEs (Methyl tert-butyl ethers)
Includes:
- 2 x 20″ x 4.5″ Big Blue Double O-ring Filter Housing with Pressure Release Button.
- 1 x 60MM Liquid Pressure Gauges, Range: 10 Kg/PSI.
