Description
FCPS1-L Aquafilter is a 20" Long foam cartridge for mechanical water filtration, designed for SLIM/LONG housings. As an effective filter cartridge and part of a home water filtration system, it retains sand, silt, sludge, and rust particles with a precision of 1 µm. It is a practical water filter for the main water line in a home, suitable for utility and drinking water, valued for high efficiency, low operating costs, and compliance with hygienic requirements confirmed by the PZH approval.
20" Long foam cartridge for effective mechanical filtration
The FCPS1-L model by Aquafilter has been designed to remove mechanical contaminants from water. Made of polypropylene nonwoven fabric, it effectively captures suspended particles present in the water installation, making the cartridge suitable both as the first stage of home water treatment and as support for more advanced filtration solutions.
Filtration precision at the level of 1 micron means that the cartridge effectively retains sand, silt, sludge, and rust particles up to 1 µm in size. This is important wherever protection of fittings, household appliances, and further filtration system components is required, such as a reverse osmosis filter, osmosis filter, or a complete reverse osmosis system.
Main advantages of the FCPS1-L cartridge
- Effective mechanical filtration – removes contaminants such as sand, silt, sludge, and rust.
- 1 µm precision – allows very fine solid particles to be retained.
- 20-inch format – designed for larger SLIM/LONG housings.
- Versatile application – suitable for utility and drinking water filtration.
- For main water lines – a good choice for single-family homes.
- Low operating costs – provides adequate performance with economical operation.
- Material resistance – polypropylene nonwoven fabric shows resistance to certain chemical compounds.
- PZH approval – approved for contact with drinking water.
- Original Aquafilter product – high build quality and reliable fit for the correct housings.
Application
The FCPS1-L cartridge is intended for SLIM or LONG housings in the 20-inch size. It works very well as a pre-filtration element in home water systems, especially on the main supply line, where it helps reduce the amount of mechanical contaminants circulating throughout the system.
This is a solution recommended for users who expect efficient and effective home water filtration, with an emphasis on quality and low operating costs. The cartridge is suitable for utility and drinking water, so it can be used wherever water cleanliness and system protection matter.
What contaminants does it remove?
The Aquafilter FCPS1-L foam cartridge is responsible for removing mechanical contaminants present in the water. Its task is to retain solid particles that can reduce water quality and accelerate wear of installation components.
- sand,
- silt,
- sludge,
- rust particles,
- mechanical suspended solids up to 1 micron in size.
As a result, the cartridge helps improve utility water quality and supports the proper operation of subsequent water treatment stages.
Material and build quality
The FCPS1-L model is made of polypropylene nonwoven fabric. This material is widely used in mechanical water filtration due to its good ability to retain solid contaminants and its resistance to certain chemical compounds. This construction supports stable cartridge performance under typical household conditions.
The cartridge is an original Aquafilter product and has PZH approval, confirming that it may be used in contact with drinking water.
Operation and replacement
The expected service life of the cartridge is up to 6 months. However, the actual service period may vary depending on the quality of the incoming water and the amount of retained mechanical contaminants.
To maintain high filtration efficiency, the cartridge should be replaced regularly. With water containing elevated amounts of sand, silt, or rust, service life may be shorter. The product should be used within a temperature range of 2 to 45°C and only in compatible SLIM/LONG housings.

Questions
Which housings is the FCPS1-L cartridge compatible with?
The cartridge is intended for SLIM or LONG housings in the 20-inch size. Before purchase, it is worth checking the compatibility of the housing dimensions with the 20 x 2 ½ inch size.
What filtration precision does this cartridge offer?
The FCPS1-L model filters water with a precision of 1 micron (1 µm), which makes it effective at retaining very fine mechanical contaminants.
What contaminants does the Aquafilter foam cartridge remove?
The cartridge primarily removes sand, silt, sludge, rust particles, and other mechanical suspended solids up to 1 micron in size.
Is this cartridge suitable for drinking water?
Yes, the product has PZH approval and is permitted for use with drinking water. It can also be used for utility water filtration.
Where is the FCPS1-L cartridge best used?
The cartridge works particularly well on the main water line in a single-family home. It can serve as a pre-filtration stage in a water filtration system and protect downstream installation components.
How often should the cartridge be replaced?
The recommended service life of the cartridge is up to 6 months. If the water contains a lot of mechanical contaminants, replacement may be necessary sooner.
Within what temperature range can the cartridge operate?
The cartridge is designed to operate at temperatures from 2 to 45°C. It should be used only within this range.
Can the cartridge work with systems such as reverse osmosis?
Yes, this type of mechanical cartridge can be used as a pre-filter before more advanced solutions such as reverse osmosis, a reverse osmosis filter, or a reverse osmosis system. It helps reduce the amount of solid contaminants reaching the next filtration stages.
