FCPS20 Aquafilter 20 micron cartridge

Effective filtration of mechanical impurities

Aquafilter FCPS20 has been designed to capture fine fractions of solid contaminants present in water. The cartridge helps reduce the presence of deposits such as:

• sand,
• sludge,
• silt,
• rust.

As a result, water directed to further treatment stages is better prepared for the next processing step, and installation components receive additional protection against mechanical sediment.

Polypropylene nonwoven fabric and depth filtration through the entire cartridge structure

The cartridge is made of polypropylene nonwoven fabric in foam form. This design means that water is filtered not only on the surface but through the entire structure of the filtration material. This is an important feature in everyday use, as it allows mechanical impurities to be effectively retained throughout the full volume of the cartridge.

This type of solution works well wherever initial protection of the water treatment system and limiting the transfer of sediment to subsequent filtration stages are important.

Applications of the FCPS20 Aquafilter cartridge

The FCPS20 model is used in various filtration systems operating with cold water. It can be used, among others, in:

• inline filter housings,
• RO filters,
• under-sink filters.

It is a universal pre-filter cartridge for protecting installations and filtration devices, especially where retaining mechanical impurities before further treatment is important.

Protection of subsequent filtration stages and the water installation

Using a 20 micron sediment cartridge helps protect subsequent system components from excessive loading with deposits. FCPS20 protects:

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

In practice, this means more stable operation of the entire filtration system and better conditions for further water purification stages, such as a reverse osmosis filter or an advanced reverse osmosis system.

Why choose a 20 micron sediment cartridge

The Aquafilter FCPS20 cartridge is a sensible choice for users who want to improve the protection of a household or commercial filtration system without complicating operation. The 20 micron rating works well as a preliminary mechanical filtration stage, supporting the effective performance of subsequent cartridges and devices.

• removes fine solid impurities from cold water,
• supports protection of the water installation,
• protects subsequent filtration stages,
• is suitable for many popular filtration systems,
• filters water through the entire cartridge structure,
• has NSF certification.

Operation and everyday use

The sediment cartridge performs a protective function in the water treatment system, so regular inspection is important for maintaining filtration efficiency. In practice, the degree of wear depends primarily on the quality of the incoming water and the amount of suspended matter present in the installation.

If the water contains a higher amount of sand, silt, sludge, or rust, the cartridge may wear out faster. In such conditions, it is worth monitoring the operation of the water filtration system and replacing the filtration element when required by the operating condition of the system.
