Watts Big Bubba

Watts Big Bubba Filters are high-flow filtration systems designed to handle a wide range of applications, including whole house filtration, commercial use, industrial processes, community water systems, and even sea water filtration. They are known for their durable, glass-reinforced polypropylene construction, which prevents issues like rust, dents, or corrosion.

The optional activated carbon cartridges for Watts Big Bubba Filters effectively remove:

• Chlorine
• Abnormal odors
• Bad taste
• Sediment

These cartridges make water cleaner, safer, and better tasting.

Watts Big Bubba Filters are packed with features to ensure reliable and efficient performance:

• Rugged Construction: Made from glass-reinforced polypropylene, they resist chipping, rusting, and denting. Perfect for environments where chemical and sea water compatibility is required.
• Double O-Rings: Provide superior sealing to prevent leaks.
• Low-Pressure Drop Design: Two-inch pipe fittings and large-diameter center tubes ensure smooth water flow with minimal pressure loss.
• High Flow Capacity: Offers flow rates up to 150 GPM, depending on the cartridge type and application.

• Durable and Non-Corrosive: Ideal for environments where stainless steel may corrode or be cost-prohibitive.
• Greater Surface Area: Offers higher capacity filtration and reduces the need for multiple filters in series.
• Water Conservation: With proprietary pleated activated carbon cartridges, backwashing is unnecessary, leading to 100% efficiency.
• Easy Maintenance: Cartridge replacement is simple – just remove the swing bolts, open the lid, and swap out the cartridge.

Watts offers a variety of cartridges to suit different filtration needs:

• Pleated Cartridges: Provide high efficiency, more surface area, and are reusable (micron ratings include 1, 5, 20, 50, and 150).
• Depth Cartridges: Melt-blown polypropylene for depth filtration, especially with gelatinous substances (micron ratings include 1, 5, 20, and 50).
• Activated Carbon Cartridges: Specifically for chlorine removal, taste and odor improvement, and sediment filtration.

These filters are incredibly versatile and ideal for:

• Whole House Filtration: Deliver clean water throughout your home.
• Commercial Systems: Provide high-capacity filtration for businesses.
• Industrial Use: Handle large volumes of water efficiently.
• Pre-Filtration for Reverse Osmosis Systems: Improve the performance of RO membranes.
• Sea Water Applications: Their non-metallic design ensures compatibility with salty environments.
• Water for Livestock and Poultry: Help maintain healthy water for agricultural needs.

Installation is straightforward. You can set up the filters in:

• Parallel: For higher flow rates, multiple filters can be installed on a shared manifold.
• Series: Ideal when filtering water with varying particle sizes or for multi-stage filtration.

Replacing cartridges in Watts Big Bubba Filters is quick and efficient:

1. Remove the swing bolts and open the filter housing lid.
2. Rotate the cartridge a quarter-turn and pull it out.
3. Insert the new cartridge, close the lid, and secure the swing bolts.

The maximum flow rate depends on the cartridge used:

• Pleated cartridges support up to 150 GPM.
• Activated carbon cartridges handle up to 15 GPM.
• Other cartridges vary based on their design and application.

Yes! Theirglass-reinforced polypropylene constructionensures excellent chemical resistance and makes them suitable for sea water applications where non-corrosive materials are essential.

Absolutely! These filters are an economical alternative to stainless steel systems, avoiding the high costs associated with such materials. Additionally, reusable and cleanable cartridge options, as well as water-saving designs, reduce long-term costs.

Some common applications include:

• Residential whole house systems
• Reverse osmosis pre-filtration
• Small community water systems
• Livestock and poultry water systems
• Replacement for bag and multi-cartridge filters

Routine cartridge replacement is the primary maintenance task. Thanks to theE-Z Change-Out design, this process is hassle-free and takes just minutes.
