FCCEL20M20B Aquafilter BIG BLUE 20" pleated filter
FCCEL20M20B
Rating
Aquafilter FCCEL20M20B is a reusable 20" accordion filter cartridge for BIG BLUE 20" housings. It is used for cold water filtration and captures mechanical impurities such as sand, rust, silt, and suspended solids. The accordion design increases the filtration surface area, ensuring good efficiency with low pressure drop. The cartridge can be used up to 3 times after rinsing with running water.
Description
FCCEL20M20B Aquafilter is a pleated BIG BLUE 20" filter cartridge designed for cold water filtration. It works well as a mechanical water filter in residential and commercial water filtration systems, where effective retention of sand, rust, silt, and other suspended solids is important while maintaining a low pressure drop. Thanks to its increased filtration surface area, the cartridge is well suited as the first stage of water treatment, including before more advanced solutions such as a reverse osmosis filter or a reverse osmosis system.
This model is reusable, intended for 20" BIG BLUE housings, and can be used up to 3 times after rinsing under running water.
BIG BLUE 20" pleated cartridge for effective mechanical filtration
Aquafilter FCCEL20M20B is a reusable 20" cartridge designed for water filtration in BIG BLUE type housings. Its purpose is to remove mechanical impurities that can reduce water quality, lower the comfort of using fixtures, and accelerate wear of subsequent installation components.
The pleated design increases the filtration surface area, which translates into higher operating efficiency and very good performance with low pressure drop. It is a practical solution wherever stable cold water filtration and easy operation are needed.
What contaminants does the Aquafilter FCCEL20M20B cartridge remove?
The mechanical pleated cartridge has been designed to retain typical solid contaminants present in cold water. It effectively captures:
- rust,
- sand,
- silt,
- suspended solids.
Thanks to its 20-micron filtration rating, the cartridge plays an important protective role in the installation, limiting the passage of larger particles to further stages of water treatment. For this reason, it is mainly used as the first stage of drinking water and general-purpose water filtration.
Key advantages
- Removes mechanical impurities: rust, sand, silt, and suspended solids.
- Mainly used as the first stage of drinking water and general-purpose water filtration.
- Reusable cartridge.
- The pleated design ensures higher filtration efficiency.
- Provides excellent filtration with low pressure drop.
- Fits 20'' BIG BLUE housings.
Operation and reuse
The cartridge belongs to the FCCEL series designed for cold water filtration. It can be used up to 3 times, provided it is first cleaned by rinsing under running water. This solution helps reduce replacement frequency and makes everyday use of the filtration system easier.
Important: the cartridge lifespan is 3-6 months until the first rinsing and depends on the quality of the incoming water. The greater the load of mechanical impurities, the shorter the actual operating time of the cartridge may be.
Application
The FCCEL20M20B model is used wherever preliminary mechanical filtration of cold water is needed. It can operate as a protective element for residential and commercial installations, as well as a stage preceding further filtration solutions, including more precise water treatment systems.
In practice, this means better protection for fixtures, filter housings, and further system components that are sensitive to mechanical deposits. This type of filter cartridge is particularly useful when the water contains visible suspended matter or when fine particles of sand and rust appear periodically.
Compatibility
The cartridge fits housings in the 20" BIG BLUE standard. Before purchase, it is worth making sure that the filter housing is compatible with this size, as proper fit has a direct impact on tightness and filtration effectiveness.
