FCPS1 Aquafilter 1 micron cartridge

Effective 1 micron mechanical filtration

Aquafilter FCPS1 is made of polypropylene nonwoven fabric in the form of a foam sediment cartridge. Its purpose is to capture fine fractions of solid impurities present in the water before further purification stages.

In practice, this means effective removal of impurities such as:

• sand,
• sludge,
• silt,
• rust.

The 1 micron filtration accuracy makes the cartridge highly effective as a pre-filtration element wherever protection of subsequent treatment stages and limiting the passage of suspended particles into the installation are important.

How does the FCPS1 cartridge work?

The way the polypropylene nonwoven fabric is formed ensures that water is filtered throughout the entire structure of the cartridge. As a result, impurities are not retained only on the surface, but are captured throughout the full volume of the filter material.

This design supports efficient mechanical filtration and helps maintain proper operation of systems in which water cleanliness at the initial stage is important for further processes.

Use in various filtration systems

The Aquafilter FCPS1 cartridge is used in many popular solutions for water purification and preparation of utility water. It can operate in:

• inline filters,
• osmosis systems,
• under-sink filters.

It is a universal pre-filtration element wherever an advanced water filtration system is used and it is necessary to stop mechanical sediment before more advanced filtration media.

Protection of subsequent filtration stages and the installation

One of the most important benefits of using a 1 micron sediment cartridge is the protection of subsequent system components. FCPS1 helps protect:

• carbon cartridges,
• iron removal cartridges,
• softening cartridges,
• the RO membrane,
• the water installation.

In practice, this means a lower load on subsequent filtration stages, more stable system operation, and reduced contact of sensitive components with mechanical particles present in the water. This is especially important in installations where reverse osmosis is used and the membrane requires effective protection against initial fouling.

Material and intended use

The cartridge is made of polypropylene nonwoven fabric. It is designed for cold water filtration, so it should only be used in installations compatible with this operating range.

The product has NSF certification, which provides additional confirmation of quality and safety for use in systems intended for water treatment.

Why choose the Aquafilter FCPS1 sediment cartridge?
