Hydro-Logic BigBoy Filtration System

With a high flow rate of 7 gallons per minute, this system is designed to maintain strong water pressure for most residential and gardening setups. However, as the filters accumulate sediment over time, you may notice a slight drop in pressure, which is why the integrated gauges are essential for monitoring when it is time to replace your cartridges.

The BigBoy is versatile enough for both applications. While it is highly popular for hydroponics and organic gardening because it removes chlorine that can harm beneficial microbes, its 1-inch connection ports and high flow rate make it fully capable of serving as a whole-house point-of-entry filter.

The system features integrated inlet and outlet pressure gauges that take the guesswork out of maintenance. When you see a significant pressure differential between the two gauges, it indicates that the filters are clogged and need to be replaced to maintain optimal flow and filtration efficiency.

No, this is a filtration system, not a water softener. It is specifically designed to remove contaminants like chlorine, sediment, rust, and silt, but it will not alter the mineral content of your water.

This system is optimized for municipal water sources. If you are on a well, you may need additional pre-filtration depending on the specific contaminants, such as iron or heavy sediment, present in your water supply.

The unit comes with the two-stage housing and a heavy-duty, wall-mountable metal bracket for secure installation. You will need to source the appropriate plumbing fittings to connect the 1-inch ports to your existing water lines.
