BIG BLUE  EXTENDED LIFE  cartridges have a 
longer life than regular cartridges as the larger 
sediment particles get caught by the outer part 
of the filter and the smaller particles are filtered 
on the inside part. Therefore the filter won't block 
as fast as a regular Big Blue or DGD, A super 
element used for drinking water, residential and
commercial.
BIG BLUE EXTENDED LIFE STRING WOUND
that filter is made with two microns, tight micron
inside loose micron outside.
