Aquafilter FCPS20M10B FCCST10BB cartridge set

What is this cartridge set used for?

The set has been designed for use in 10-inch Big Blue housing systems. It combines mechanical filtration with the water softening process, so it works well where it is necessary both to reduce the presence of solid contaminants and to limit limescale buildup.

Such a filter cartridge can be an important part of a home installation, as well as complement a more advanced water filtration system. It works well as a pre-treatment solution, including before devices where protection of fittings, household appliances, and installation components matters.

Set contents

• 1 x Aquafilter FCPS20M10B mechanical cartridge 20 µm
• 2 x Aquafilter FCCST10BB softening cartridge

FCPS20M10B mechanical cartridge – sediment filtration and installation protection

Aquafilter FCPS20M10B is a 20-micron mechanical cartridge designed for Big Blue housings. It stands out for very high dirt-holding capacity. Its structure resembles foam, and the surface contains a large number of open-cell microbubbles, which supports effective sediment capture.

The cartridge effectively removes sand, silt, rust, and other mechanical impurities from tap water. As a result, it helps protect the home water installation and household appliances from excessive load caused by suspended particles present in the water.

The cartridge is made of polypropylene nonwoven fabric resistant to chemicals and to the growth of microorganisms. It is intended for treating cold drinking water and utility water.

Main advantages of the FCPS20M10B cartridge

• made in the EU
• removes mechanical contaminants (rust, sand, silt, suspended particles)
• provides excellent filtration with low pressure drop
• resistant to chemicals
• resistant to microorganism growth

FCCST10BB softening cartridge – reducing limescale in everyday use

Aquafilter FCCST10BB is a water softening cartridge filled with a fine-grained ion-exchange media. It works by exchanging magnesium and calcium ions for sodium ions as water flows through the bed. As a result, the water becomes softer, which helps reduce limescale buildup.

Softened water helps prevent unsightly residue in coffee and tea, while also supporting the protection of household appliances against limescale deposition. This is especially important where water is used intensively for cooking, preparing drinks, and powering household appliances.

The cartridge is intended for treating cold drinking water and utility water.

Main advantages of the FCCST10BB cartridge

• prevents limescale buildup
• has PZH hygienic approvals
• made from materials certified by NSF and FDA
• has a final filter that prevents granules from escaping beyond the filter

Why choose this set?

The combination of a 20 µm mechanical cartridge and two softening cartridges makes it possible to take a comprehensive approach to basic water treatment in 10-inch Big Blue housings. On the one hand, the set captures mechanical sediments; on the other, it helps reduce water hardness responsible for limescale formation.

It is a good choice for users who want to protect the durability of the installation, improve the operating conditions of household devices, and make everyday water use more convenient. The set can also be used as a pre-stage before more advanced solutions such as a reverse osmosis filter, an osmosis filter, a reverse osmosis system, or reverse osmosis, if the installation requires protection against sediment and limescale at an earlier stage.
