The WFW Triple 20" Big Blue with AntiScale Whole Home Water Filter System combines three large-format 20-inch filtration stages to provide whole-house sediment filtration, carbon treatment and a dedicated scale-control stage.
Designed as a point-of-entry system, the Triple 20 treats the incoming water supply before it is distributed through applicable household plumbing. The three-stage arrangement allows separate cartridges to be selected for particulate filtration, chlorine and unwanted taste or odour treatment, and management of mineral scale formation.
Unlike a system fitted with ultraviolet treatment, the standard Triple 20 AntiScale cartridge configuration does not require electrical power to operate. It also does not use the salt-regeneration cycle associated with a conventional ion-exchange water softener.
The Triple 20 configuration provides three large cartridge positions so the system does not rely on one filter media for every water-treatment requirement.
A dedicated sediment stage reduces suspended dirt, rust, sand, silt and similar particulate material.
A dedicated AntiScale cartridge is used to help manage mineral scale formation within compatible plumbing and appliance applications.
A carbon cartridge provides treatment for chlorine and unwanted taste or odour where the supplied cartridge is specified for those functions.
Follow the cartridge sequence supplied for the exact system configuration. Replacement media should be matched to the installed cartridge models rather than selected by physical size alone.
This Triple 20 AntiScale configuration is designed around three cartridge-treatment stages and does not include the separate UV equipment used in the Triple 20 AntiScale + UV version.
That makes it suitable where the required treatment functions are sediment reduction, carbon treatment and scale control without an ultraviolet stage.
Where the incoming water source requires microbiological treatment, an appropriately sized UV or other disinfection stage may still be required separately.
The sediment stage provides physical filtration of suspended particulate matter before water reaches the downstream treatment cartridges.
Captures suspended dirt carried through the incoming water supply.
Helps reduce particulate rust before it reaches downstream plumbing and filtration media.
Provides mechanical filtration for suspended sand and similar particles.
Reduces suspended silt within the operating range of the cartridge supplied.
Removing particulate material first reduces unnecessary sediment loading on downstream treatment stages.
The sediment cartridge is a consumable component and requires inspection and replacement during normal maintenance.
The Triple 20 system includes a dedicated cartridge intended to help reduce the tendency of hardness minerals to form hard scale deposits on compatible surfaces.
This can be relevant to household equipment exposed to heated or evaporating water, including hot water equipment, dishwashers and other plumbing fixtures.
The cartridge-based AntiScale stage does not use the conventional brine tank and regeneration process associated with an ion-exchange water softener.
Designed to help manage scale formation while operating as part of the cartridge filtration system.
Uses ion-exchange resin to remove hardness ions and typically requires salt and periodic regeneration.
Customers specifically seeking measurable hardness reduction should confirm whether scale control or conventional softening is the treatment method required for their water conditions.
The Triple 20 configuration includes a carbon filtration stage for water-treatment functions associated with activated carbon.
A suitable carbon cartridge can provide chlorine reduction within its rated operating capacity.
Carbon treatment can reduce unwanted taste associated with suitable incoming water supplies.
Activated carbon can also provide unwanted odour reduction within the specification of the cartridge supplied.
Water Filter World manufactures and supplies whole-house filtration systems using large-format Big Blue-style housings for higher-volume point-of-entry filtration.
The Triple 20 format provides three full-size cartridge positions rather than the two used by a Twin 20 system.
This additional stage allows scale-control media to be incorporated without giving up the separate sediment and carbon treatment stages.
You want whole-house sediment, carbon and scale-control treatment from one three-housing system.
Your incoming source requires a dedicated microbiological treatment stage after filtration.
You have significant iron, manganese, salinity, unusual hardness or other source-water issues that may require specialist treatment.
Sediment, carbon and scale-control treatment can suit mains-water applications where these are the identified treatment priorities.
Rainwater may require sediment filtration, but microbiological treatment requirements should also be considered before choosing a non-UV configuration.
Bore water can contain dissolved minerals and other water-quality issues that require testing and treatment beyond a standard Triple 20 cartridge package.
The standard Triple 20 AntiScale filtration assembly does not contain an active UV lamp or other powered treatment stage.
Water is treated as it passes through the three cartridges under normal line or pump pressure, so the filtration assembly itself does not require electrical power.
The Triple 20 Big Blue format uses replaceable cartridges rather than an automatic media vessel that periodically backwashes or regenerates.
This means routine maintenance is based around inspecting and replacing the cartridges and housing seals rather than operating a programmed salt or backwash cycle.
Used filter cartridges still need to be replaced, so the system should not be described as maintenance-free.

The size of a Big Blue housing does not by itself determine the final flow capacity of the installed system.
Available flow is influenced by all three cartridges, incoming pressure, plumbing diameter, fittings and the level of restriction that develops as the cartridges collect material.
All three treatment cartridges are consumable components. Their practical service life depends on the exact media supplied, water chemistry, sediment loading and total household water use.
Inspect and replace according to sediment loading, pressure drop and the cartridge manufacturer's service guidance.
Replace according to the service capacity and water-quality limits specified for the actual scale-control cartridge supplied.
Replace according to treatment demand, water consumption and the rated capacity of the exact carbon cartridge.
Inspect the housing seals whenever the bowls are opened for cartridge maintenance.
Check bowls, heads, brackets and connections for visible damage or leaks during routine servicing.
A noticeable reduction in household flow can indicate increasing cartridge restriction.
Order the WFW Triple 20" Big Blue with AntiScale for delivery to supported Australian locations where you already have a suitable installer.

No. This configuration does not include an ultraviolet treatment stage.
The passive cartridge filtration assembly itself does not require electrical power.
The AntiScale cartridge does not use the conventional salt-regeneration process associated with an ion-exchange softener.
No. Scale-control treatment is different from conventional hardness removal. It is intended to help manage scale formation rather than exchange calcium and magnesium out of the water.
Yes. A dedicated sediment filtration stage forms part of the system.
A suitable carbon cartridge can provide chlorine reduction within its rated capacity and operating conditions.
Yes, where the supplied carbon cartridge is specified for those treatment functions.
Not automatically. Heavy-metal treatment should only be claimed where the exact cartridge supplied is specifically rated for that purpose.
The standard cartridge-based Triple 20 system does not operate an automatic backwash cycle like a regenerating treatment tank.
No. The sediment, carbon and scale-control cartridges are consumable treatment components and require periodic replacement.
Replacement depends on the exact cartridges supplied, incoming water conditions, water usage and cartridge capacity. Follow the specification for each installed cartridge.
Filtration may form part of a rainwater system, but rainwater applications should also consider whether a separate microbiological treatment stage such as UV is required.
Professional installation may be available in eligible Brisbane and Gold Coast service areas where the plumbing, site access and system requirements are suitable.
Purchase the WFW system without adding installation where you already have your own suitable installer or servicing arrangement.
The sediment, carbon and AntiScale stages are described separately without presenting scale control as conventional water softening or making unsupported purification claims.
Installed Today can also support eligible local installations where the plumbing, system sizing and access requirements are suitable.
The WFW Triple 20" Big Blue with AntiScale Whole Home Water Filter System is designed for properties wanting three separate whole-house cartridge-treatment stages covering sediment filtration, scale control and carbon treatment.
Unlike the version supplied with UV, this configuration does not include an active ultraviolet stage and the passive filtration assembly does not require electrical power. The AntiScale stage also avoids the conventional salt-regeneration process used by an ion-exchange water softener.
Before ordering, confirm the exact sediment, AntiScale and carbon cartridges supplied, their required stage sequence, flow capability and suitability for your incoming water. Cartridge life is dependent on water conditions and usage, so the system should be treated as serviceable whole-house filtration rather than a maintenance-free appliance.
