FCPS1BB20 WodaRO BIG BLUE foam cartridge 20" 1 micron

Effective mechanical filtration in BIG BLUE 20" housings

The FCPS WodaRO BIG BLUE series cartridge has been designed to remove mechanical, also known as sediment, contaminants. Thanks to its very high filtration precision, it captures fine solid particles present both in well water and in tap water, where contaminants may enter during distribution.

This is a practical solution wherever effective protection of downstream installation components matters. The cartridge helps limit the passage into the system of contaminants such as silt, sludge, and other fine sediment particles that can impair device performance and shorten the service life of subsequent filter media.

Application of the FCPS1BB20 WodaRO cartridge

The FCPS1BB20 model is used in various mechanical water filtration systems. It can be used, among others, in under-sink and in-line filters, where it acts as an effective pre-filter.

In practice, its task is to protect more expensive and more specialized cartridges and installation components. It works particularly well as protection for:

• carbon cartridges,
• softening cartridges,
• iron removal cartridges,
• water installation,
• fittings.

As a result, the foam cartridge can support the proper operation of more advanced filtration solutions, including systems preparing water for further purification.

Construction and operating principle

The cartridge is made of high-quality foam, that is, polypropylene nonwoven fabric. The material has been shaped to ensure that water is filtered through the entire structure of the cartridge, not only on its surface. This construction promotes effective retention of fine mechanical contaminants and stable operation in typical household and utility applications.

A filtration rating of 1 micron makes the FCPS1BB20 model suitable for very fine sediment filtration, where the goal is to capture fine suspended particles before further stages of water treatment.

Main benefits

• mechanical water filtration with a 1 micron rating,
• effective removal of fine solid contaminants such as silt and sludge,
• protection of subsequent, more expensive filter cartridges,
• protection of the water installation and fittings,
• polypropylene nonwoven construction filtering through the entire structure of the cartridge,
• fit for BIG BLUE 20" housings,
• versatile use in under-sink and in-line filters.

Operation and replacement

To maintain high filtration efficiency, the cartridge should be replaced regularly according to the operating conditions of the installation. In the case of water with a higher amount of mechanical sediment, faster wear of the filter medium is natural.

Regular replacement helps maintain proper flow, reduces the increase in pressure drop, and ensures effective protection of subsequent elements of the water filtration system.
