FCPS5-L Aquafilter 5 micron LONG 20" cartridge
Rating
Aquafilter FCPS5-L is a mechanical filter cartridge made of polypropylene non-woven fabric (Melt-blown technology), made of 100% pure polypropylene. It filters solid impurities down to 5 microns (including sand, silt, rust). Designed for SLIM/LONG housings for 20" cartridges (20 x 2 1/2). It ensures low pressure drops and good sediment absorption.
Description
FCPS5-L Aquafilter is an efficient filter cartridge made of polypropylene nonwoven fabric for SLIM/LONG 20" housings, designed for effective mechanical filtration in domestic and utility installations. With a 5-micron rating, it removes sand, silt, rust, and other suspended solids from water, supporting water treatment and protecting installation components. It is a practical water filter for use on the main water connection, as well as a pre-filtration stage wherever a more advanced water filtration system is used, including an osmotic filter and a reverse osmosis system.
Effective mechanical filtration for LONG 20" housings
The Aquafilter FCPS5-L cartridge is made of polypropylene nonwoven fabric using Melt-blown technology. The use of 100% pure polypropylene, without any additives, ensures stable cartridge operation and effective capture of mechanical impurities present in water.
This model retains all types of mechanical contaminants down to 5 microns, including mainly sand, silt, rust, and other fine solid particles. It is a particularly useful solution wherever protection of fittings, appliances, and subsequent filtration stages is important.
Cartridge application
The cartridge is intended for SLIM or LONG housings for cartridges with a height of 20 inches and a diameter of 2 1/2 inches. Housings of this type are often installed on main water connections in single-family homes, where they serve as the first stage of mechanical filtration.
Water filtration using SLIM cartridges provides sufficient performance in most cases while maintaining low operating costs. As a result, the cartridge works well both as a standalone installation protection component and as a pre-filter before more advanced solutions such as a reverse osmosis filter, reverse osmosis, or a complete water treatment system.
Main advantages
- excellent absorption of deposits: sand, silt, rust, and suspended solids from water,
- ensures low pressure drops with exceptional dirt-holding capacity,
- the nonwoven fabric is resistant to some chemical compounds - its main application is filtration of utility and drinking water.
How the Melt-blown polypropylene cartridge works
The structure of the polypropylene nonwoven fabric has been designed to effectively capture mechanical impurities present in flowing water. In practice, this means reducing the amount of deposits passing further into the installation and better protection of taps, valves, household appliances, and subsequent filter cartridges.
Melt-blown technology is widely used in mechanical filtration due to its good combination of contaminant retention efficiency, stable operating parameters, and cost-effective use. A 5-micron cartridge is a good choice wherever precise pre-filtration is needed without excessively restricting flow.
The cartridge should be selected for a suitable 20" housing in the SLIM/LONG standard with dimensions of 20 x 2 1/2. Service life depends on the quality of the feed water and the amount of retained contaminants. The recommended cartridge lifespan is up to 6 months.
Operation and practical tips
To maintain high filtration efficiency, the cartridge should be replaced regularly. The replacement frequency depends on the quality of the incoming water, its level of contamination, and the intensity of installation use.
In the case of water with an increased amount of mechanical sediment, the cartridge may require earlier replacement. Signs of wear may include reduced flow performance or a visible accumulation of contaminants. Regular replacement helps maintain filtration efficiency and protects the downstream components of the system.

FAQ
Which housings is the FCPS5-L cartridge compatible with?
The cartridge fits SLIM or LONG housings designed for cartridges with a height of 20 inches and a diameter of 2 1/2 inches.
What contaminants does this cartridge remove?
The cartridge retains mechanical contaminants down to 5 microns, such as sand, silt, rust, and other suspended solids present in water.
What material is the cartridge made of?
The FCPS5-L model is made of polypropylene nonwoven fabric using Melt-blown technology. The material is 100% pure polypropylene, without additives.
Is the cartridge suitable for utility and drinking water?
Yes, its main application includes filtration of utility and drinking water. The nonwoven fabric is also resistant to some chemical compounds.
How often should the cartridge be replaced?
The recommended lifespan is up to 6 months, but the actual operating period depends on the quality of the incoming water and the amount of retained sediment.
Does the cartridge cause a large pressure drop?
No, one of its advantages is low pressure drop while maintaining very good dirt and sediment retention capacity.
Where are cartridges like this most commonly installed?
Housings used with this cartridge are often installed on main water connections in single-family homes, where they serve as a preliminary mechanical filtration stage.
Can this cartridge be used before a reverse osmosis system?
Yes, the 5-micron mechanical cartridge can be used as a pre-filtration stage before solutions such as a reverse osmosis filter, an osmotic filter, or a complete reverse osmosis system, helping reduce the amount of sediment reaching the subsequent filtration stages.
