FCPS5BB10 WodaRO foam cartridge BIG BLUE 10" 5 micron

BIG BLUE 10" foam cartridge for effective mechanical filtration

The FCPS5BB10 model is a high-quality mechanical cartridge designed for use in popular Big Blue 10" housings with dimensions of 4.5" x 10". It was designed to remove solid contaminants from water that reduce its clarity and can accelerate wear of the water installation.

With a filtration precision of 5 µm, the cartridge effectively captures fine mechanical particles present in utility water. It is a practical solution for homes and apartments wherever simple, effective, and regular pre-treatment of water is required at the initial stage.

Key product advantages

• Effective water filtration – precisely captures particles as small as 5 µm, such as sand, silt, rust, and other deposits.
• First stage of purification – ideal as a pre-filter in inline filters and in central water installations in the home or apartment.
• Optimal flow – the perforated structure ensures even water flow with minimal pressure drop.
• Extended service life – durable polypropylene foam and a thoughtful design mean the cartridge can operate for up to 6 months.
• Better water quality – improves the clarity, taste, and cleanliness of utility water in the kitchen and bathroom.

Application of the FCPS5BB10 cartridge

The cartridge works well as the first stage of mechanical filtration in inline systems and central water installations. Its task is to retain sediment present in the supply water before it reaches further installation components or end devices.

It is a good choice for home and apartment use whenever a filter cartridge is needed to improve water clarity and limit the passage of mechanical contaminants to taps, valves, and other system components.

It can operate as a standalone mechanical filtration stage or as a pre-filter before more advanced water treatment solutions, including systems where a reverse osmosis filter, reverse osmosis filter, reverse osmosis, or a complete reverse osmosis system is used.

How does 5 µm filtration work?

A filtration precision of 5 microns means that the cartridge is designed to retain very fine mechanical impurities present in water. In practice, it helps remove visible and partially invisible deposits that can cause water turbidity and buildup of dirt in the installation.

The polypropylene foam cartridge works mechanically, without changing the chemical composition of the water. Its purpose is to separate solid particles such as sand, silt, rust, and other deposits while maintaining good flow.

Material and durability

FCPS5BB10 is made of certified polypropylene. This material is commonly used in mechanical filtration due to its durability, resistance in use, and stable performance under typical operating conditions.

The durable foam structure was designed to effectively capture contaminants while maintaining even water flow. As a result, the cartridge performs well in everyday use in domestic installations.

Operation and replacement

The cartridge is designed to operate within a temperature range of 5 to 40°C. Under standard conditions, its service life is up to 6 months; however, in practice the replacement interval depends on water quality and the level of mechanical contamination.

In the case of water with a higher amount of sediment, replacement may be needed sooner. Regular replacement of a worn cartridge helps maintain filtration efficiency, proper flow, and better clarity and cleanliness of utility water.
