FCPP5M20B String filter cartridge for AQUAFILTER water

String cartridge for effective pre-filtration

AQUAFILTER FCPP5M20B is one of the most frequently chosen string cartridges for removing mechanical impurities from water. Its task is to capture sediments and suspended solids before they reach further elements of the installation or devices using water.

In practice, this means effective protection against typical contaminants found in domestic water, such as:

• sand,
• silt,
• rust,
• other suspended solids and mechanical sediments.

How does the AQUAFILTER FCPP5M20B cartridge work?

The cartridge is made of pure polypropylene fiber wound around a filter core. This design is not accidental — it provides an increase in the density of the filter material toward the core.

The cartridge's gradient structure means that larger particles are retained in the outer layers of the filter, while finer contaminants are captured deeper inside the structure. This solution translates into:

• effective mechanical filtration,
• better use of the entire volume of filter material,
• longer cartridge life,
• maintaining a relatively low pressure drop even at higher flow rates.

The FCPP5M20B model is an optimal combination of filtration precision and favorable flow parameters, which is why it works well as the first stage of water installation protection.

Cartridge application

This universal sediment cartridge is intended for the pre-filtration of suspended solids and mechanical sediments that can contribute to accelerated wear of installations and failure of devices.

The cartridge helps protect, among others:

• the water installation in the home and utility building,
• taps and fixtures,
• heating appliances,
• household appliances,
• subsequent filtration stages in larger treatment systems.

It can be used as pre-filtration in extended systems, including those using a reverse osmosis filter, reverse osmosis water filter or a complete reverse osmosis system. Reducing the amount of mechanical contaminants before the subsequent filtration stages supports their proper operation.

Main advantages of AQUAFILTER FCPP5M20B

• used for cold and hot domestic water,
• cartridge made of braided polypropylene string,
• density gradient allows larger particles to be trapped in the outer layer and smaller ones inside the cartridge, extending its service life,
• minimal pressure drop at high flow rates,
• PZH sanitary approvals,
• made of materials certified by NSF and FDA,
• operating temperature range from 1°C to 52°C,
• high rigidity and durability of the cartridge,
• service life from 3 to 6 months, depending on water quality,
• effective retention of mechanical impurities such as sand, rust, and silt,
• cartridge core made of high-quality polypropylene,
• filtration accuracy: 5 microns.

Why does 5-micron accuracy matter?

Filtration accuracy at the level of 5 microns means the cartridge effectively captures fine mechanical impurities present in water. It is a good choice wherever protecting installations and equipment from sediments matters, while maintaining adequate flow is also important.

This solution works well as a preliminary stage before further water treatment, as it limits the amount of solid particles reaching subsequent elements of the system.
