Big Fat Bottle Pre-filter – Separate 4-Position Valve, Quick Backwash

The big fat bottle pre-filter is commonly used as the first line of defense for whole-house water purification. It can be installed at the main water inlet or in front of water-using appliances. This filter effectively removes large particles such as sediment, rust, and suspended solids from tap water, protecting household water appliances from damage and extending their lifespan. Users can choose suitable replacement filter cartridges based on their specific needs to meet various filtration requirements.

Structure
  1. Pressure relief valve. It releases the pressure inside the filter for safe maintenance and cleaning.
  2. Handle. Manually controls four modes: filtration, bypass, backwash, and stop.
  3. Valve core. It controls the direction of water flow.
  4. Seal ring. It functions as a seal to prevent loosening of parts and water leakage.
  5. Valve pocket. It supports and secures the valve core.
  6. Brass threaded inlet & outlet. It has high hardness, wear-resistant, strong corrosion resistance, and is suitable for long-term use.
  7. Drain outlet. It has a separate drainage pipeline, effectively preventing bacterial growth and secondary contamination.
  8. Filter cartridge. Users can choose replacement cartridges such as PP cotton filter cartridges, ultrafiltration membrane filter cartridges based on their specific needs.
  9. O-ring. It acts as a seal to prevent water leakage.
  10. Housing. Made of high-pressure, explosion-resistant polymer material.

Working Principle

Filter Position

Start daily water purification work, where the raw water flows through this pre-filter purification cartridge under certain pressure and flow rate, effectively removing sediment, rust, algae, and fixed suspended matter from the water, making treated water clear and clean.

Stop Position

In case of water outage, pipeline maintenance, or other special situations, rotate the handle to this position to cut off the water supply. Once the issue is resolved, rotate the control valve handle back to the filtration position to resume water supply without needing to shut off the main household water valve.

Backwash Position

At this position, the separate waterway cleans the filter cartridge from the inside to outside, and the rinsed wastewater is discharged through a separate drainage channel, preventing contamination of other channels. This effectively prevents bacterial growth and secondary pollution, enhancing the cleaning effect and extending the service life of the filter cartridge.

Bypass Position

When replacing the filter cartridge or in other special situations, turn the control handle to the bypass position. You can temporarily use municipal tap water directly and restore the water purification function after the filter cartridge is replaced or the issue is resolved. This function ensures uninterrupted water supply.
