Gravity filtration · Matt black finish
The Big Star matt black combines an 8.5 L reserve with a dark, contemporary finish. It meets the everyday needs of a household of 1 to 4 people without taking up the space of the largest model.
It works with no mains connection or electricity and comes with two Ultimate Star Filter® elements.
Performance behind the design
The matt black finish does not change the filtration. This Big Star uses the same Ultimate Star Filter® elements as the stainless-steel and matt cream versions. Two filters are included, and a second pair can be installed to increase the flow rate.
Discover the architecture of the Ultimate Star Filter® and how a gravity water filter works.
Two filters supplied
The included pair represents an indicative service life of approximately two years, depending on water quality, the volume filtered and maintenance.
Based on a replacement pair sold for €150, replacement filters cost approximately 2.5 euro cents per litre, excluding the system, water and maintenance.
Documented performance
The filters have been tested by independent ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratories, including for PFAS, pesticides, heavy metals, pharmaceutical residues and microplastics.
The published analyses also cover TFA, chlordecone and perchlorates. The materials used comply with European REACH and RoHS requirements.

Choose the right size
The Big Star offers an 8.5 L capacity for the needs of a household of 1 to 4 people. It provides greater autonomy than the Mini Star while remaining easier to accommodate than the Super Star.
Use the supplied pair for everyday needs or add two filters when you want to increase the flow rate. The two unused positions are closed with the supplied plugs.
Matt black finish
The AISI 304 stainless-steel chambers have a deep, low-reflection matt black finish. This version complements contemporary kitchens and creates a graphic contrast on a light worktop.
The stainless-steel and matt cream versions offer the same capacity, dimensions and filtration. The system price and the price of matching accessories may differ 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.
