Aquafilter FCCEL5M10B is a mechanical pleated reusable filter cartridge for BIG BLUE 10" housings. It effectively traps sand, rust, silt, and sediments, often serving as the first stage of filtration for drinking and general use water. The pleated design increases the filtration surface area and helps maintain a low pressure drop. The cartridge can be used up to 3 times after rinsing with running water. For cold water.
FCCEL5M10B Aquafilter is a mechanical pleated filter cartridge for BIG BLUE 10" housings, designed for cold water filtration. It effectively captures sand, rust, silt, and other suspended solids, making it an excellent choice as the first stage of operation in an installation, a household water filter, and a more advanced water filtration system. The pleated design increases the filtration surface area, supports high efficiency in removing mechanical impurities, and helps maintain a low pressure drop. An additional advantage is the possibility of reusing the cartridge up to 3 times after rinsing it with running water.

Aquafilter FCCEL5M10B has been designed to remove mechanical impurities from water. In practice, this means effective capture of sediments such as sand, rust, silt, and suspended solids that may worsen water quality and put strain on subsequent system components.
This solution is mainly used as the first stage of drinking and utility water filtration. The cartridge helps pre-treat water before further water treatment, as well as before use with more precise devices such as a reverse osmosis filter, RO filter, reverse osmosis, or a complete reverse osmosis system.
The pleated cartridge stands out with its extended working surface, which translates into higher filtration efficiency compared to simpler mechanical designs. This design supports effective retention of impurities while maintaining a low pressure drop, which is important during everyday water use.
The FCCEL5M10B model belongs to the series of reusable mechanical pleated cartridges. Once soiled, it can be rinsed with running water and used again. In total, the cartridge can be used up to 3 times, which helps reduce replacement frequency and increases convenience of use.
Important: the cartridge is intended for cold water filtration. It can be reused up to 3 times after prior cleaning, that is, rinsing with running water. Actual service life depends on the quality of the incoming water and the amount of retained impurities.
The Aquafilter FCCEL5M10B cartridge is used wherever effective filtration of mechanical impurities is needed in the BIG BLUE 10" standard. It works well in drinking and utility water installations as a pre-filtration stage protecting further system components.
It is a practical choice for systems where the priority is removing mechanical sediments before further treatment stages. Thanks to this, the cartridge can support the operation of subsequent filtration system components and improve the working conditions of more precise filtration solutions.
The FCCEL5M10B model is a reusable cartridge. After noticeable soiling or a drop in performance, the cartridge should be removed from the housing and then thoroughly rinsed with running water. After such cleaning, the cartridge can be reinstalled and used again in further operation.
The service life of the cartridge until the first rinsing is from 3 to 6 months. This period depends on the quality of the incoming water, in particular on the amount of sand, rust, silt, and suspended solids present in the water. In more heavily loaded installations, the interval between cleanings may be shorter.
Operational note: the stated 3-6 month service life applies to the period until the first rinsing and depends on the quality of the incoming water.
