Our WH2-HF High-Flow Series whole house filter package is based on our extremely popular WH2 whole house carbon block filter package, however, it is designed for homeowners seeking higher-flow rates, greater chlorine/contaminant reduction capacity between filter changes, and higher contaminant removal rates at lower flow rates.

The WH2-HF features dual stage filtration for a wide range of common contaminants that affect the clarity, taste, and odor of residential water. This system features Hydronix's unique multi-depth poly sediment filter which removes dirt, sediment, rust particles, and other particulates down to a level of 10 microns thereby protecting the carbon filter and preserving its capacity. This filter uses the entire depth of its media by trapping the largest sediment particles on the outside of the filter, then gradually stepping down the size of particles it will reject as the water moves closer to the core of the filter. The outer layer is rated at 75 microns. The subsequent layers are rated at 50 microns, 25 microns, and finally 10 microns. The result is longer filter life and higher flow rates (less pressure drop). The polypropylene media is highly resistant to bacteria, making this an excellent choice for well, lake, and stream water treatment applications, in addition to city water.

This filter is followed by a huge 20" x 4.5" diameter version of Pentek's EP Series 5 micron carbon block filter which features greater chlorine removal and dirt-holding capacity than competitor's filters of a similar size. The high porosity-design helps prevent the cartridge from clogging before its absorption capacity is exhausted, maximizing the utilization of the activated carbon media. The carbon block filter has excellent chlorine reduction characteristics and is also commonly used to remove chlorine disinfection by-products (THM's), and a wide range of organic and volatile organic compounds (VOC's) that affect water clarity, taste, and odor. Minimum chlorine reduction of 90% at over a filter life of 40,000 gallons at a flow rate of 4 GPM (151,400 L @ 15.1 LPM).

This system is a popular choice for well water owners requiring filtration down to a level of 5 microns for a whole house UV sterilizer, especially where elevated levels of organic contaminants are present (organic contaminants can absorb UV light).

Included in Package:

  • two (2) heavy-duty Pentek Big Blue 20" filter housings (1" NPT) w/ pressure relief buttons
  • one (1) powder-coated mounting bracket and related screws
  • one (1) Hydronix SDC-45-2010 multi-gradient 10 micron sediment filter cartridge
  • one (1) Pentek EP-20BB 5 micron carbon block cartridge filter
  • one (1) spanner wrench
  • one (1) 1" brass housing coupler used to join the 2 filter housings
  • one (1) roll of Teflon tape

Applications & Suitability:

The WH2-HF is a popular general purpose whole house water filter package for larger homes. It is well suited to sediment and particulate removal as well as the reduction of chlorine, chlorine disinfection bi-products like trihalomethanes (THM's), a wide range of volatile organic compounds, and other contaminants responsible for bad tastes and odors. The WH2-HF is an excellent choice for well water, lake water, stream water, and municipal (city) water treatment applications. For best results, we recommend a maximum flow rate of about 6 gallons per minute, which is sufficient for most larger residential applications.

Note: Some municipalities disinfect their water with chloramine instead of chlorine. We recommend that you confirm which disinfectant your city uses to treat your water supply so you can ensure that you choose the best filter for your needs. If your water supply is treated with chloramine, we highly recommend that you consider the WH Chloramine filter which uses a special catalytic carbon to enhance chloramine removal.

Recommended Uses: ratings scale
Sediment, Dirt, Rust Particles, Turbidity excellent rating
Chlorine, THMs, Bad Tastes & Odors excellent rating

* No carbon filter can remove all volatile organic compounds, especially at high flow rates, however, this filter will remove many volatile organic compounds under recommended operating conditions to improve taste and odor.

Why choose the WH2-HF Whole House Carbon Filter Package?

  • large carbon bed creates high flow rate capacity without compromising contaminant reduction rates
  • greater chlorine removal and dirt-holding capacity than competitor's filters of a similar size - the high porosity-design helps prevent the cartridge from clogging before its absorption capacity is exhausted, maximizing the utilization of the activated carbon media
  • carbon block design reduces "fines" and prevents channeling which can reduce effectiveness of many competitors' granular activated carbon filters
  • we use only the highest quality heavy duty filter housings with large diameter inlet and outlet for less pressure drop and better flow dynamics
  • housings and filters are NSF Certified (Standard 42 for material requirements)
  • we use standard filter sizes so you will always be able to obtain replacement filters for your system
  • many competitors use small 2.5" x 10" filters in their whole house filter systems, resulting in poor water pressure, short filter life, and less than optimal flow characteristics - we use filters with much greater surface area and dirt-holding capacity to maximize contaminant removal, improve water pressure and flow characteristics, and extend filter life so you have less maintenance to do!
  • includes sturdy powder-coated steel mounting bracket and spanner wrench
  • great pricing on system packages are replacement filters - guaranteed best prices and free shipping in USA and Canada on all replacement filters purchased by the case!

ClearPlus WH2-HF High Flow Series Premium 5 Micron Whole House Carbon Filter Package Reviews


Great whole house filter5 Stars
I installed this filter system in my home. It works great. Even though our cities water is already quite good, it has quite a bit of chlorine in it. This filter removes the chlorine and makes the water taste so much better. My wife loves that she can't smell the chlorine when she's having a bath or shower. - Mark C.
ClearPlus WH2-HF Whole House Filter Pkg (20 inch BB) 0 Micron Sediment + 5 Micron Carbon Block4 Stars
Easy installment. Broken instrument for unscrewing filters - needs to be replaced. Still occasionally get a whiff of chlorine along with a mouthful that tastes of chlorine. Sediment rating today is at 144 ppm - too high Occasionally get sediment lining pots after boiling water in them. - Diana M
Carbon filter5 Stars
Reduces awful taste of municipal water. The cat evens likes it! No need to get him spring water anymore. - Cindy Critch
