Where This Cartridge Works

The Watts GAC-BB20 fits any standard 20-inch big blue filter housing with a 4.5" inner diameter. It's commonly used in whole-house filtration systems, under-sink applications, and point-of-entry treatment where chlorine taste and odor removal is needed. This cartridge is ideal for municipal water supplies that have already been filtered for sediment, as GAC works best when protected by upstream sediment filtration. Replace every 12 months or when taste and odor return, whichever comes first. Not intended for bacteriological reduction or sediment removal.

💧 Pro tip: Always install a 5-micron sediment filter upstream of your GAC cartridge. Sediment clogs the carbon pores and cuts capacity in half, so pre-filtration extends the life of this cartridge and protects your investment.
