Its 10-inch by 4.5-inch cartridge capacity and 3/4-inch NPT ports enable efficient sediment reduction and rapid water flow, making it ideal for millennial homeowners seeking reliable, low-maintenance water purification solutions. ## Description The Pentair Pentek 150470 Big Blue Filter Housing is a heavy-duty, whole-house vessel built for large-capacity filtration, including high-flow and heavy-sediment applications. Its extra-large 10-inch sump holds 4-1/2 inch diameter cartridges, so you can choose a cartridge that reduces dirt, sand, rust, silt and other sediment for cleaner water throughout your home. The larger housing increases cartridge capacity and reduces the number of vessels needed for high flow-rate systems.The High-Flow Polypropylene (HFPP) cap is fitted with 3/4-inch NPT inlet and outlet ports for rapid flow, and the housing is compatible with a broad range of chemicals. It is Tested and Certified by NSF International to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for material and structural integrity. The button assembly uses 300-Series stainless steel, EPDM and polypropylene, and the O-ring is EPDM. This 10-inch model is rated to 100 psi maximum and 40 to 100 degrees F, and it ships without a pressure relief button.This is the 10-inch housing, measuring 12.75 by 7.38 inches and accepting 4-1/2 inch diameter Big Blue cartridges. The cartridge, SW-3 filter wrench and mounting bracket are sold separately and are not included. For a leak-free seal, lubricate the O-ring, hand tighten the sump, then add a quarter to half turn, and protect the housing from freezing to avoid cracking. Review: Perfect fit to replace old cracked one. - Perfect fit. The most difficult part was loosening the pipe coupler so I could remove the old housing cap that was cracked. Review: Over the years things change - I have a BIG BLUE filter that was installed in my house in 1992. The O-Rings that one gets in a Big Box store ...or even a local Ace Hardware store, are just slightly too large for the original blue housing. I suspected that the design of the housing had been modified since 1992 and purchased this item so I could get O-Rings that fit. I was also hoping that I could just screw the new housing onto the old "black" part of this filter assembly. That's exactly what I was able to do. The new O-Ring did fit into the new blue housing and the new blue housing screwed onto the old "black" part of the assembly. Problem solved without having to hire a plumber to install the new filter assembly ## Features - WHOLE-HOUSE HIGH-FLOW FILTRATION - This 10-inch Big Blue housing holds large 4-1/2 inch diameter cartridges that reduce sediment, dirt, sand, rust and silt, making it ideal for high-flow and heavy-sediment whole-house applications - HEAVY-DUTY HIGH-FLOW CAP - The High-Flow Polypropylene (HFPP) cap with 3/4-inch NPT inlet and outlet ports moves a high volume of water, while the extra-large sump boosts cartridge capacity to cut the number of vessels you need - NSF CERTIFIED CONSTRUCTION - Tested and Certified by NSF International to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for material and structural integrity, with a polypropylene sump, HFPP cap and EPDM O-ring for broad chemical compatibility - CONFIRM THE 10-INCH SIZE - This is the 10-inch model, measuring 12.75 by 7.38 inches, and it accepts standard 4-1/2 inch diameter Big Blue cartridges in 10-inch length; it ships without a pressure relief button - WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY - Rated to 100 psi and 40 to 100 degrees F; cartridge, filter wrench and mounting bracket are sold separately and not included, and the housing should be protected from freezing to avoid cracking ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09QLKTFLR | | Best Sellers Rank | #61,974 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #154 in Whole House Water Treatment Systems #5,455 in Kitchen & Bath Fixtures | | Brand | Pentek | | Brand Name | Pentek | | Container Type | Cartridge | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 51 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00051678504703 | | Included Components | filter | | Installation Type | Under Sink | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 10"L x 10"W x 10"H | | Item Type Name | Whole House Heavy Duty Water Filter Housing with High-Flow Polypropylene (HFPP) Cap, 10-Inch, Black/Blue | | LowerTemperature Range | 40 Β°F | | Manufacturer | Pentair | | Material | Polypropylene (PP) | | Material Type | Polypropylene (PP) | | Maximum Flow Rate | 0.75 gpm | | Model Name | Big Blue Filter Housing, 3/4" NPT #10 | | Model Number | 150470 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | NSF certified | | Package Information | Cartridge | | Part Number | 150470 | | Power Source | Water Pressure | | Product Dimensions | 10"L x 10"W x 10"H | | Purification Method | Sedimentation | | Special Feature | NSF certified | | Supported Water TDS Level Maximum (PPM) | 500 | | UPC | 051678504703 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Upper Temperature Rating | 120 Β°F | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Pentek - **Special Feature:** NSF certified - **Product Dimensions:** 10"L x 10"W x 10"H - **Material:** Polypropylene - **Included Components:** filter - **Package Information:** Cartridge - **Installation Type:** Under Sink - **Purification Method:** Sedimentation - **Model Name:** Big Blue Filter Housing, 3/4" NPT #10 - **Maximum Flow Rate:** 0.75 Gallons Per Minute ## Images ![Pentair Pentek 150470 Big Blue 10" x 4.5" Filter Housing, NSF Certified - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41gyuCY+Y0L.jpg) ![Pentair Pentek 150470 Big Blue 10" x 4.5" Filter Housing, NSF Certified - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6143kcrnHUL.jpg) ![Pentair Pentek 150470 Big Blue 10" x 4.5" Filter Housing, NSF Certified - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71kB+xDqvHL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Color, Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the pressure rating for the filter housing? Would it work mounted on a tank that uses a vacuum blower motor to transfer water?** A: The 10" Big Blue housing is tested by NSF and certified to 100 PSI. If you have any other questions about the correct filter or housing, please reach out to our technical support team (USA based) at 800-279-9404. **Q: Does it remove lead and other contaminents from the water?** A: It depends upon the filter that you use. **Q: what is warranty** A: Warranty from the seller for 30 days, you can return the item and receive a full refund. The manufacturer's warranty is written in the instructions. **Q: Can this filter be used for a turtles 40 gallon tank?** A: The filter canister, Pentek 150237 #10, that this question is relating to, yes. The filter elements available must be gauged for your needs. The elements typically last 6+ months on a 200 gallon per week flow. I think that it would serve you well on a closed loop system; from tank to pump to tank. It should last quite awhile. Choosing the right porosity size filter would be another question. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect fit to replace old cracked one. *by T***N on May 18, 2026* Perfect fit.
