FCPS50BB20 WodaRO to foam sediment filter BIG BLUE 20" for mechanical water filtration. It effectively captures fine solid particles, such as silt and sludge, present in well water and tap water. Made from polypropylene foam (non-woven fabric), it filters throughout its entire structure and protects the installation and subsequent, more expensive filters (e.g., carbon, softening, iron removal).
Benefits
- Captures sand, sediment and rust particles
- Protects subsequent filtration stages

Description
FCPS50BB20 WodaRO is a foam filter cartridge BIG BLUE 20" for mechanical water filtration, designed to capture fine solid contaminants such as silt, sludge, and sediment. It works well as an effective water filter in domestic installations, inline systems, and selected under-sink systems, where it supports water treatment and protects subsequent filtration stages. Thanks to its polypropylene foam structure, it filters through the entire volume of the cartridge, helping protect the installation, fittings, and more expensive media used in solutions such as a water filtration system, carbon, softening, or iron removal cartridges.
BIG BLUE 20" foam sediment cartridge for effective mechanical filtration
The FCPS50BB20 model from the FCPS BIG BLUE series has been designed to remove mechanical contaminants present in water. Its purpose is to retain fine solid particles that may occur both in well water and in municipal water supply. Typical contaminants captured by the cartridge include mainly silt, sludge, and similar sediments carried through the installation.
This is a practical solution wherever protection of the entire filtration system and water installation components against excessive sediment loading matters. The 50 micron cartridge provides an effective pre-filtration layer, preparing the water for further filtration stages.
How the FCPS50BB20 WodaRO cartridge works
The cartridge is made of high-quality foam, i.e. polypropylene nonwoven fabric. The material has been formed so that water is filtered through the entire structure of the cartridge, not only on its surface. Such a design promotes efficient capture of sedimentary contaminants and uniform operation of the filter medium.
In practice, this means better protection for downstream system components, especially those that are more expensive and sensitive to clogging by mechanical sediment.
Application
The FCPS50BB20 foam sediment cartridge is used in installations where effective mechanical water filtration is required before further treatment or distribution to points of use.
- for well water, where fine sediment fractions may be present,
- for municipal water, where contaminants may appear during transmission,
- in under-sink filters,
- in inline filters,
- as protection for carbon cartridges,
- as protection for softening cartridges,
- as protection for iron removal cartridges,
- as protection for the water installation and fittings.
In many systems it can serve as a pre-filter, limiting the amount of solid particles reaching subsequent system components. This is especially important where more precise cartridges or devices responsible for further water treatment are operating.
Main benefits
- effective removal of mechanical and sediment contaminants,
- retention of fine solid particles such as silt and sludge,
- filtration through the entire cartridge structure thanks to polypropylene foam,
- protection of subsequent, more expensive filter cartridges,
- protection of the water installation and fittings from sediment,
- operation in BIG BLUE 20" standard,
- universal use in domestic and utility installations requiring mechanical filtration.
The cartridge is designed for BIG BLUE 20" housings. Actual service life depends on the quality of the incoming water and the amount of mechanical contaminants present in the installation. If performance drops faster or a noticeable increase in pressure drop occurs, the cartridge should be replaced earlier.
Operation and cartridge selection
The FCPS50BB20 model is designed for 20" BIG BLUE housings and has a cartridge diameter of 4.5". The 50 micron filtration rating makes the cartridge suitable for preliminary removal of fine mechanical contaminants before the water reaches further treatment stages.
It is a good choice wherever a filter cartridge is needed to protect downstream stages, for example carbon, softening, or iron removal media. In more complex systems, it can also support installations preparing water for more advanced filtration processes.

FAQ
What is the FCPS50BB20 WodaRO cartridge used for?
It is a foam sediment cartridge for mechanical water filtration. It is used to retain fine solid contaminants such as silt, sludge, and similar sediments present in well water and municipal water.
Which housings does this cartridge fit?
The cartridge is designed for BIG BLUE housings with a height of 20". Its diameter is 4.5".
What is the filtration rating of this cartridge?
The filtration rating is 50 micron, so the cartridge works well as a pre-stage for removing fine mechanical contaminants.
What material is the cartridge made of?
The cartridge is made of foam, i.e. polypropylene nonwoven fabric. This design allows the water to be filtered through the entire structure of the filter medium.
How often should the cartridge be replaced?
Typical cartridge service life is up to 6 months. However, operating time depends on the quality of the incoming water and the amount of mechanical contaminants, so in some installations replacement may be required sooner.
Does this cartridge protect other filtration system components?
Yes. The cartridge helps protect subsequent, more expensive filter cartridges, including carbon, softening, and iron removal cartridges, as well as the water installation and fittings themselves.
Where can this cartridge be used?
The FCPS50BB20 model is used, among others, in under-sink and inline filters, wherever effective mechanical water filtration is needed before further treatment stages.
What is the pressure drop across the cartridge?
The pressure drop is within the range of 0.2 - 0.4 bar. This parameter may change with the cartridge wear level and the amount of retained contaminants.
