INSTALLATION & USE

Installation Steps

  1. Shut off water supply and relieve pressure from the Big Blue housing by opening the pressure relief button on top of the cap.
  2. Use a filter wrench to unscrew the housing sump counterclockwise. Remove the old cartridge and clean the housing interior and o-ring with a mild bleach solution.
  3. Insert the new IF-SM-KDF010B5 cartridge into the housing, ensuring it seats properly in the center post.
  4. Reinstall the sump by threading it clockwise until hand-tight, then turn water supply back on slowly and check for leaks.
  5. Flush the new filter for 5 minutes to rinse carbon fines and activate the KDF media before use.
COMPATIBILITY

Compatible Systems

This cartridge is designed as a compatible replacement for the Intelifil IF-SM-KDF010B5 and fits all standard 10 inch x 4.5 inch Big Blue housings from Watts, Pentek, and other manufacturers. Ideal for whole-house filtration systems where chlorine removal, heavy metal reduction (lead, mercury, arsenic, copper), and scale control are priorities. The KDF-55 media provides bacteriostatic protection and extends the functional life of the activated carbon by handling inorganic contaminants first.

🔧 KDF media works best in cold to moderate temperature water. If you're using this filter in a whole-house application, install it after your water heater bypass to maximize its heavy metal reduction capacity and prevent premature media exhaustion.
