Product Overview
The Big Frog Supply BF.HG-34 is a preassembled sediment and scale-control filter unit installed on the cold-water supply before a compatible tank or tankless water heater. Its 5-micron polyphosphate cartridge helps capture sediment, silt, dirt, and rust particles while discouraging scale formation before those materials enter the heater. Reducing incoming debris can support cleaner heat-transfer surfaces and simplify routine water-heater maintenance in water conditions where sediment is a recurring concern.
The unit uses 3/4 in. inlet and outlet connections and operates from 30 to 75 PSI within a 40-100°F water-temperature range. It is supplied as a built assembly, but installation space, flow direction, system pressure, cartridge-replacement access, and local plumbing requirements should be confirmed before purchase. This filter does not soften water or correct every water-quality condition; source-water testing may be appropriate when scale, corrosion, or staining continues.

FAQ:
Can it be used with a tankless water heater?
Yes, when the connections, flow, pressure, and installation requirements are compatible.
Does it replace a water softener?
No. It filters sediment and uses polyphosphate for scale control; it does not remove hardness minerals like an ion-exchange softener.
