If your home relies on rainwater, bore water or another untreated water source, filtration is an important part of protecting your household water supply. Sediment is easy to see. However, microorganisms such as bacteria, protozoa and some viruses may be present without changing the appearance or taste of your water.
That is where a whole house UV water filtration system can make a real difference.
The Atlas Filtri BIG F PRO 256 SANIC combines high-capacity sediment filtration with UV water treatment. As a result, it provides a complete filtration solution for households wanting cleaner, safer water throughout the home.
What Is the Atlas Filtri BIG F PRO 256 SANIC?
The Atlas Filtri BIG F PRO 256 SANIC is an Italian-made, plug-and-play whole house UV water filter.
Rather than relying on UV treatment alone, the system uses multiple filtration stages. First, water passes through a 25-micron SANIC pre-filter. Next, a 1-micron SANIC filter removes much finer particles.
Finally, the filtered water passes through the stainless steel UV chamber for chemical-free UV treatment.
This combination is particularly useful for rainwater tank filtration, where both sediment and microorganisms need to be considered.
Why Filter the Water Before UV Treatment?
Good pre-filtration is important for effective UV treatment.
Sediment and suspended particles can interfere with UV light. Therefore, reducing these particles before the UV stage helps the system perform as intended.
The BIG F PRO 256 SANIC includes two large 20-inch BIG SANIC antimicrobial filters:
- 25-micron SANIC filter – captures larger sediment and particles.
- 1-micron SANIC filter – provides finer filtration before UV treatment.
After filtration, the water moves through the UV chamber for the final treatment stage.
Why Use UV for Rainwater?
Rainwater can collect contaminants from roofs, gutters, debris, animals and the surrounding environment. Although the water may look perfectly clear, appearance alone cannot confirm its microbiological quality.
A UV water filtration system for rainwater tanks provides an additional treatment barrier without adding disinfecting chemicals to the water.
The Atlas Filtri BIG F PRO SANIC range uses UV-C treatment to inactivate microorganisms in water. This makes it particularly suited to households relying on rainwater and other untreated supplies.
High-Flow Whole House Water Filtration
One of the major advantages of the BIG F PRO 256 SANIC is its high flow capacity.
The system is rated at:
54 L/min at 40 mJ/cm²
70 L/min at 30 mJ/cm²
This makes it suitable for whole-house applications where several taps or fixtures may require filtered water.
Instead of filtering only one drinking-water tap, a whole house water filtration system treats the incoming water before it is distributed throughout the home.
Designed for Convenient Installation
The BIG F PRO 256 SANIC comes pre-plumbed and mounted on a single bracket. Therefore, installation is much neater than assembling separate filter housings and a UV system.
It also features a reversible inlet and outlet, allowing the installer to choose the most suitable flow direction.
A lockable, weather-resistant cover protects the filtration system and controller. This also helps provide a clean, professional installation.
Smart UV Monitoring
Maintaining a UV system is important because UV lamps have a limited operating life.
Fortunately, the BIG F PRO 256 SANIC includes a digital monitor, lamp-life counter and audible replacement alarm.
Therefore, you don’t have to simply guess when the UV lamp needs attention. The system helps you keep track of its operation and maintenance requirements.
