Description
FCPP5BB20 WodaRO Big Blue 20" string filter insert 5 microns is an efficient filter cartridge for preliminary mechanical water filtration. It works as a water filter protecting the installation, fittings, and household and heating appliances from deposits and suspended solids. The string-wound polypropylene construction effectively retains sand, sludge, silt, and rust, supporting everyday water treatment and the operation of a larger water filtration system, including solutions such as a reverse osmosis filter or a reverse osmosis system as a pre-filtration stage.
Big Blue 20" string wound cartridge for effective pre-filtration
The string-type sediment cartridge has been designed to remove fine fractions of solid contaminants from water. It is a solution intended for use where protection of the water installation and reduction of deposits in devices that come into contact with water are important.
With a filtration rating of 5 microns, the cartridge effectively captures typical mechanical contaminants present in water, helping maintain better operating conditions for subsequent filtration stages and protecting system components from premature wear.
Construction and operating principle
Model FCPP5BB20 is made of pure polypropylene fiber wound onto a filtration core. This design is no accident — it ensures a gradual increase in the density of the filter material toward the center of the cartridge.
In practice, this means more effective retention of contaminants on successive layers of the material. Water flowing through the cartridge is cleaned of suspended solids and mechanical deposits, which supports stable system operation and improves protection of devices connected to the water network.
What contaminants does the cartridge remove?
- sand,
- sludge,
- silt,
- rust.
Cartridge application
The cartridge is intended for pre-filtration of water, meaning it retains suspended solids and mechanical deposits before further treatment stages. It is an important element wherever water may contain fine solid particles that negatively affect the durability of the installation.
The cartridge can be used as a protective element for domestic water treatment systems, standard utility installations, and advanced filtration solutions. It also works well as the first stage before devices such as an osmosis filter, reverse osmosis, or reverse osmosis filter, as it helps limit the flow of mechanical contaminants to more precise membranes and components.
Main benefits
- effective removal of fine solid contaminants from water,
- protection of the water installation against mechanical deposits,
- lower risk of damage to household appliances,
- support for protecting heating equipment,
- solid polypropylene fiber construction,
- gradient filtration density structure toward the core,
- suitability as a pre-filtration stage in larger water treatment systems.
The cartridge is designed for mechanical filtration of solid contaminants. Its task is to protect the installation and subsequent water treatment stages by limiting the presence of deposits and suspended solids. Regular checking of the cartridge wear level helps maintain filtration efficiency and proper water flow.
Why choose a polypropylene string wound cartridge?
Polypropylene is a material commonly used in mechanical water filtration due to its good durability in use and effectiveness in retaining solid contaminants. In a string wound design, an additional advantage is the way the fiber is wound around the core, which supports multilayer particle capture.
This makes the cartridge well suited for applications requiring a durable, simple, and effective pre-filtration element. In domestic and technical systems, it can serve as the first barrier against mechanical contaminants, relieving the remaining system components.

FAQ
What is the FCPP5BB20 WodaRO cartridge used for?
It is a sediment cartridge for preliminary mechanical water filtration. Its task is to retain fine solid contaminants such as sand, sludge, silt, and rust in order to protect the installation and devices that come into contact with water.
What contaminants does this string wound cartridge remove?
The cartridge cleans water of fine fractions of solid contaminants, especially sand, sludge, silt, and rust. It is intended for removing mechanical deposits and suspended solids.
What does a filtration rating of 5 microns mean?
A 5-micron rating indicates the level of mechanical filtration of the cartridge. This means the product effectively supports the removal of very fine solid contaminants present in water and works well as a pre-filtration stage.
Why is the string wound design effective?
The cartridge is made of pure polypropylene fiber wound around a filtration core. This construction causes the density of the filter material to increase toward the center, which promotes effective retention of contaminants on successive layers of the cartridge.
Is this cartridge suitable for protecting household and heating appliances?
Yes. The cartridge is designed for pre-filtration of suspended solids and mechanical deposits that can cause damage to household appliances and heating equipment. It helps reduce the buildup of contaminants in the installation.
Can the cartridge operate before a reverse osmosis system?
Yes, as a pre-filtration element it can support the protection of more precise treatment stages such as an osmosis filter, reverse osmosis filter, or a complete reverse osmosis system. It helps limit the flow of mechanical contaminants to downstream components.
Which housing format is the FCPP1BB20 WodaRO BIG BLUE 20" 1 micron string filter cartridge intended for?
It is a Big Blue 20" cartridge, intended for suitable filter housings that support this format.
What material is the cartridge made of?
The cartridge is made of pure polypropylene fiber. This material forms the filter layer responsible for retaining mechanical contaminants during water flow.
When is it worth replacing the filter cartridge?
The cartridge should be replaced when a noticeable drop in filtration efficiency or a reduced water flow caused by accumulated deposits is observed. Regular inspection of the cartridge condition helps maintain proper operation of the entire water filtration system.
