Compatible to Intelifil (IF-SM-AA010B) 10"X4.5" Big Blue Activated Alumina Fluoride Removal Filter by IPW Industries Inc
10"×4.5" Big Blue Activated Alumina Fluoride Removal Filter
This 10-inch by 4.5-inch activated alumina cartridge is designed for whole-house fluoride reduction in standard Big Blue filter housings. The cartridge removes fluoride, inorganic arsenic, hydrogen sulfide, and select other contaminants at a controlled 0.25 GPM flow rate. Capacity is rated at 11,000 mg/L (640 grains), delivering approximately 2,750 gallons from 10 ppm feed water to below 0.2 ppm effluent.
What Makes Activated Alumina Effective for Fluoride
Targeted Fluoride Adsorption
Activated alumina media chemically adsorbs fluoride ions from water, reducing concentrations from 10 ppm down to below 0.2 ppm when operated at the correct flow rate and pH range.
Multi-Contaminant Reduction
Beyond fluoride, removes inorganic arsenic, hydrogen sulfide, carbonyl sulfide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen chloride, and select alcohols and ethers from your water supply.
Standard Big Blue Fit
10" × 4.5" dimensions fit all standard Big Blue filter housings from Watts, Pentek, and compatible manufacturers — no modification required for installation.
Precise Flow Control Required
Maximum effectiveness at 0.25 GPM design flow rate. Water chemistry matters — high bicarbonate levels (>100 ppm) reduce capacity by 50%, >200 ppm by 75%.
Temperature & Capacity Specs
Operates between 40°F and 100°F. Filter life: 11,000 mg/L or 640 grains. Actual capacity depends on feed water chemistry, pH, and bicarbonate levels.
4 lbs 4 oz Cartridge Weight
Filled cartridge weighs 4 pounds 4 ounces. The activated alumina bed is dense enough to provide contact time at rated flow without channeling.
Compatible Systems and Model Numbers
This cartridge is a direct-fit compatible replacement for Intelifil model IF-SM-AA010B and works in any standard 10" × 4.5" Big Blue filter housing. Compatible with Watts whole-house filter systems and other manufacturers using the Big Blue platform. Designed for point-of-entry fluoride reduction in private well systems or municipal water with elevated fluoride levels above 2 mg/L. Not recommended for high-flow applications — install after pressure tank with dedicated 0.25 GPM flow control for drinking water or specific fixtures. High pH (>8.0) and high bicarbonate water (>100 ppm) significantly reduce capacity and require more frequent cartridge replacement.
Manufactured by IPW Industries Inc to meet or exceed OEM specifications for dimension, media type, and filtration performance in whole-house fluoride reduction applications.
