Gravity filtration · Matt cream finish
The Big Star matt cream combines the range's versatile capacity with a light, low-reflection finish. It is designed for the everyday needs of a household of 1 to 4 people.
It works under gravity with no mains connection or electricity. Two Ultimate Star Filter® elements are supplied.
The finish changes, not the filtration
The Big Star matt cream uses the same Ultimate Star Filter® elements as the stainless-steel and matt black versions. It comes with one pair and two plugs for the unused openings, but can hold up to four filters to increase the flow rate.
Discover the architecture of the Ultimate Star Filter® and how a gravity water filter works.
Nominal capacity of the pair
The included configuration represents an indicative service life of approximately two years, depending on water quality, the volume filtered and maintenance.
With a replacement pair sold for €150, replacement filters cost approximately 2.5 euro cents per litre, excluding the system, water and maintenance.

Choose the right size

The supplied pair meets everyday needs. If consumption increases, a second pair can be added to accelerate filtration without replacing the system.
Matt cream finish
The AISI 304 stainless-steel chambers have a light, low-reflection matt cream finish. This version naturally complements pale woods, mineral tones and bright kitchens.
The stainless-steel and matt black Big Star versions have the same capacity, dimensions and filtration. Only the appearance, the system price and the price of matching accessories may vary depending on the finish.
Ready for setup
Place the Big Star on a flat, stable surface strong enough to support it. Allow sufficient clearance above the system so that the upper chamber can be removed and filled easily.
Prime both supplied filter elements, then rinse and commission the system in accordance with the instructions available on the website.
Fill the upper chamber when the lower chamber is empty to prevent overflowing.
Ideally, consume filtered water within 24 hours and no later than 48 hours.
Clean the chambers, tap and filter elements regularly in accordance with Star Water Filter® recommendations.
The Big Star comes with two filter elements and two plugs for the unused openings. A second pair can be installed to increase the flow rate when household needs justify it.
