FCPS20 Aqua Vita 20 micron filter cartridge

What is the FCPS20 Aqua Vita cartridge used for?

The Aqua Vita sediment cartridge is designed for the mechanical purification of cold water from fine fractions of solid contaminants. Its task is to capture particles present in tap water or well water before the water reaches the next filtration stages or the installation.

With a filtration accuracy of 20 microns, the cartridge helps reduce the passage of deposits that may lower the effectiveness of further water purification and accelerate the wear of other system components.

What contaminants does it retain?

The polypropylene nonwoven cartridge removes fine mechanical impurities from water, in particular:

• sand,
• sludge,
• silt,
• rust.

This is a typical first stage of mechanical filtration that improves the operating conditions of subsequent cartridges and helps maintain better cleanliness throughout the entire system.

Design and filtration method

FCPS20 Aqua Vita is a foam cartridge made of polypropylene nonwoven fabric. This design ensures that water is filtered through the entire structure of the cartridge, not only on its surface. In practice, this means effective capture of mechanical contaminants throughout the full volume of the filtration material.

Polypropylene nonwoven fabric is commonly used in pre-filtration of water due to its good effectiveness in separating deposits and its compatibility with many popular filter housings.

Use in various filtration systems

The FCPS20 cartridge is used in many water purification solutions. It can operate, among others, in:

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

It is a good choice wherever preliminary mechanical filtration is needed. In installations such as reverse osmosis or a complete reverse osmosis system, the sediment cartridge helps protect more sensitive components from deposits present in the water.

Protection of subsequent filtration stages and the installation

One of the most important advantages of this model is the protection of the remaining components of the water treatment system. The cartridge takes on mechanical contaminants, thereby supporting the proper operation of further filtration stages.

FCPS20 Aqua Vita helps protect:

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

In systems where an osmotic membrane is used, limiting the inflow of solid particles is particularly important for maintaining stable operation of the entire system.

Why choose a 20 micron sediment cartridge?

• effectively removes fine mechanical impurities from cold water,
• filters water through the entire structure of the cartridge,
• is suitable for popular filtration systems,
• supports the operation of subsequent purification stages,
• helps protect the installation and components more sensitive to deposits.
