Description
Aquafilter FCPP20M20B is a string-wound filter cartridge for BIG BLUE 20" housings, designed for preliminary water filtration in domestic and commercial installations. As an efficient water filter, it captures mechanical impurities down to 20 microns, such as sand, silt, and rust, helping protect the installation, heating equipment, and household appliances. It is a practical component of any water filtration system and effective support wherever reliable water treatment is needed before subsequent filtration stages, including solutions such as a reverse osmosis filter.
BIG BLUE 20" string-wound cartridge for preliminary water filtration
The FCPP20M20B model is made of polypropylene string and designed for use in BIG BLUE 20" housings. It is a universal sediment cartridge that performs well wherever effective capture of suspended solids and mechanical deposits present in water is required.
The filtration accuracy of up to 20 microns means the cartridge effectively retains typical solid contaminants, including sand, silt, rust, and other similar deposits. As a result, it forms an important first stage of protection for the water installation and devices connected to the system.
Design ensuring effective sediment capture
FCPP series polypropylene string-wound cartridges are made from pure polypropylene fiber wound around a filter core. This design is not accidental — it provides increasing density of the filter material toward the core.
In practice, this means effective retention of mechanical contaminants throughout the entire volume of the cartridge, not only on its outer surface. This solution supports stable filter operation and allows efficient removal of suspended solids present in the water supplying a building or commercial facility.
What contaminants does the Aquafilter FCPP20M20B cartridge retain?
The cartridge is designed for preliminary filtration of suspended solids and mechanical deposits. It effectively reduces the presence of contaminants that can accumulate in the installation and negatively affect device operation.
- sand,
- silt,
- rust,
- other mechanical impurities up to 20 microns in size.
Removing this type of deposit is very important for the durability of fittings, heating equipment, and household appliances. The cartridge helps reduce the risk of damage resulting from the presence of solid particles in water.
Application in homes and commercial facilities
Aquafilter FCPP20M20B stands out for its wide range of applications and one of the most typical filtration accuracies used in mechanical systems. Thanks to its very high permissible water flow rates, the cartridge is used mainly for preliminary filtration of an entire residential building or other commercial facility.
It can operate as the first stage of water preparation before further elements of the installation, supporting the protection of more advanced filtration solutions. In such a setup, it complements the water filtration system well and also protects devices using finer filtration media, such as a reverse osmosis system, reverse osmosis, or a classic osmotic filter.
Important operating note: the cartridge is intended for preliminary filtration of mechanical impurities. To maintain effective installation protection and proper flow, it should be replaced regularly according to wear, water quality, and the recommended service life of up to 18,000 liters or 3–6 months.

Questions
Which housings is the Aquafilter FCPP20M20B cartridge compatible with?
The cartridge is designed for BIG BLUE 20" housings. Its dimensions are 20" x 4 1/2" (50.8 cm x 11.5 cm), so it should be used in housings compliant with this standard.
What is the function of this filter cartridge?
It is a cartridge for preliminary water filtration, designed to retain mechanical impurities. It protects the installation and devices from deposits present in the water.
What contaminants does the 20-micron cartridge remove?
The cartridge retains, among others, sand, silt, rust, and other mechanical impurities up to 20 microns in size.
What does 20-micron filtration accuracy mean?
It means the cartridge is designed to capture solid particles up to 20 µm in size. This level of accuracy is often used as universal mechanical filtration before further water treatment.
How long can the FCPP20M20B cartridge be used?
The cartridge service life is up to 18,000 liters or 3-6 months. The actual operating time depends on water quality and the amount of mechanical impurities present in the installation.
Is this cartridge suitable for protecting household appliances?
Yes. The cartridge helps protect heating equipment, fittings, and household appliances from damage caused by sand, silt, rust, and other mechanical deposits.
Is this cartridge suitable for whole-house filtration?
Yes, this model is used mainly for preliminary filtration of a residential building or other commercial facility. It works well wherever high permissible water flow rates are required.
Can it be used before a reverse osmosis system?
Yes, this type of mechanical filtration is a good preliminary stage before finer solutions such as a reverse osmosis filter, an osmotic filter, or an extended reverse osmosis system. It helps reduce the amount of deposits reaching subsequent filtration stages.
What is the pressure drop across the cartridge?
The pressure drop parameter for this model is 0.3 - 0.5 bar.
