This Pentek 150233 20-BB 1” #20 Big Blue filter housing with pressure relief is suitable for high-flow and heavy sediment applications. The opaque blue sump is made of reinforced polypropylene for strength and resistance to chemicals, and the black cap is made of high-flow polypropylene (HFPP) for stiffness. The black cap has 1” female National Pipe Thread Taper (NPT) threaded input and output connections and a nitrile butadiene rubber (Buna-N) O-ring to ensure a watertight seal. A pressure relief button on the inlet side of the cap releases pressure in the housing for changing filter cartridges. The housing can be used with a 20” x 4-1/2” filter cartridge (sold separately). It has an initial pressure drop of 1 pound per square inch (psi) at a flow rate of 15 gallons per minute (gpm), a maximum operating pressure of 90 psi, and a maximum operating temperature of 100 degrees F (37.8 degrees C). This filter housing meets National Sanitation Foundation/American National Standards Institute (NSF/ANSI) standard 42 for quality assurance, and is for use in various high-flow applications, including residential drinking water filtration, food service, and irrigation, among others.

Water filters remove undesirable particles, chemicals, and microorganisms from water by means of a semipermeable barrier, adsorption, or biological processes. They are made of densely packed synthetic or natural fibers that trap suspended particles, materials that block microbes or adsorb unwanted chemicals, or substances that cause a chemical change, such as acid neutralization. For most residential, commercial, and industrial applications, water filters are manufactured in the form of replaceable cartridges that fit inside permanent housings. Filtration systems typically consist of a series of two or more types of filters, each designed to remove different contaminants. The performance of filters is measured by the minimum particle size that is blocked, the percentage of particles or microorganisms that are removed, the downstream concentration of unwanted chemicals, the maximum flow rate, and the amount of water that can be filtered before the filter must be replaced. Water filters are used in a wide range of applications, including drinking water purification, swimming pools, industrial processes, and irrigation, among others.

With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.
You can trust this review, i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.
It's the one!
These are the standard by which all others are measured. I live on a small farm with 3 low flow wells and they all have their problems. Currently I'm doing a 2 step process bringing water into a cistern and then into the house from there. I've had a big blue before the cistern and then one between there and the house for several years now. Good flow, great pressure, never a problem, never a leak. I couldn't ask for more. I'm now setting up a second cistern for irrigation water and just ordered two more and noticed these are hardly reviewed. It's a shame as these are a great product.

Bigger than expected
I know the dimensions are given, but the size of this thing is surprising when seen in person. I had a water softener and charcoal filter installed but felt I needed a prefilter to prevent premature failure of the media in those two filters. I wanted something that would take a large filter so that I wouldn't have to change it as often and also maximize flow and this thing fits the bill. The life expectancy of the sump is 10 years so I should get plenty of life out of it.
My only complaint is that while directions aren't necessary, the product doesn't come with screw to mount it to a bracket, nor does it indicate the proper size. I had to do some research to find the right sizes needed. Those turned out to be 5/16" x 1 1/4" lag bolts for anyone looking at one of these.
Pentek Big Blue 20" filter housing
Installed this Pentek 20" filter housing along with the Pentek filter cartridge DGD-5005-20 (which filters down to the 5 micron level). Before doing this our well water from the faucet was so cloudy you couldn't see thru an 8 oz. glass of water. After installing it a 1 gallon jug filled from the faucet is absolutely crystal clear. No more discoloration in the shower, tub, sink, laundry, etc. It works amazingly well. I am no plumber but I figured out how to install it myself using about $20 of parts from Lowes (plastic pipe and couplings, pipe cement/solvent, a shut-off valve, and two 1" to 3/4" adapters). If you have cloudy water from sediment and iron, this unit (with the above filter cartridge) takes care of the problem completely.
