iSpring WGB22B-PB 2-Stage Whole House Water Filtration System w/ 20-Inch Carbon Block and Iron & Lead Reducing Filter

Feature

Equipped with gradient two stage filtration, iSpring WGB22B-PB whole house water system removes sediment, chlorine, lead, Iron,rust, pesticides, herbicides, industrial solvents, VOCs, and various other contaminants. With 1 inch NPT inlet/ outlet, it has minimum impact on water flow and requires minimum maintenance.
Installed at the main water supply to treat all the water you use in your entire home. Enjoy better water from every tap and every appliance in the whole house. In addition to the basic features of sediment, chlorine and odor removal, this system also excels in the reduction of Lead and iron residue to protect your home appliances, such as the dishwasher and washing machine and to provide you safe water to drink.
Unlike an RO system, this system will NOT reduce Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), thus it keeps the healthy minerals in the water.
The first stage CTO Carbon Block filter uses high quality coconut shell carbon for maximum filtration efficiency and filter life. Both are tested by independent third-party to meet NSF/ANSI Standards. Both filters have a capacity of 100,000 gallon of water to supply one full year of clean water for a family of four.
The second stage FCRC25B Lead & Iron removal filter features high capacity at 15,000 ppm for lead. Effectively reduces lead to below 15 ppb (EPA standard for drinking water).
Package includes - black metal bracket, two big blue housings with caps, two filter cartridges, and a 4.5 inch housing wrench.
The model# of the original filter cartridge pack in the system is F4WGB22BPB, which includes these genuine iSpring Big Blue Filter cartridges: FC25B, FCRC25B.

Description

The WGB22B-PB whole house filtration system is a great "point of entry" filtration system for cleaning up well water. Unlike "point of use" systems (like reverse osmosis systems) that are installed to supply water to a specific faucet, the WGB22B-PB filters your water from the source. This means water from every output in your home will have passed through the two filtration stages of the WGB22B-PB. So what exactly do these two stages of filtration offer?

The first stage of the WGB22B-PB houses a 5-micron CTO coconut shell carbon block filter. Block carbon is more effective than other forms of carbon in that it is finely ground up carbon packed into a solidified block. This means they have a higher density than other types of carbon filters, and are therefore more effective in removing their targeted contaminants. The carbon block filter knocks out bad tastes and odors, removes over 90% of chlorine from the water, and is highly effective on organic chemicals (VOCs) like pesticides, herbicides, and industrial chemicals.

The second stage of the WGB22B-PB houses an iron and lead reducing filter. The FCRC25B iron and lead reducing filter is only included with the WGB22B-PB (and the WGB32B-PB), as it is not needed for most municipal water supplies that the WGB22B targets.

If you are on municipal (city) water or a generally clean water supply, you may want to consider the WGB22B over the WGB22B-PB. For removing contaminants and heavy metals like lead and iron found in the majority of well water supplies however, the WGB22B-PB fits the bill.

*Note* The lead & iron reducing filter #FCRC25B's capacity for iron is much lower than the capacity for lead. Depending on the amount in your water, the filter may lose effectiveness in removing iron before the life of the filter expires. If iron is the main concern, you may instead want to look at using a filter specifically for iron such as the #FM25B, which is also included in our whole house systems #WGB22BM and #WGB32BM.
