Description
DAFI mechanical foam water filter insert, 20 microns, is a flow-through filter cartridge designed for domestic water systems. It works well as a water filter protecting fittings, taps, valves, and household appliances from mechanical sediment. Thanks to the polypropylene foam, it effectively traps silt, rust, sand, and other suspended particles, while supporting everyday water treatment without any noticeable drop in pressure. It is a practical element of a water filtration system that can also complement more advanced solutions, such as an osmosis filter, reverse osmosis system, or reverse osmosis as initial installation protection.
What is the purpose of the DAFI 20-micron insert?
This is a universal mechanical filter designed for filtering solid contaminants in a domestic installation. Its task is to capture sediment present in the water supplying the system, in order to limit its buildup in fittings and appliances used every day.
The insert provides effective protection for all devices in the household. It helps extend the service life of installation components and reduces the negative impact of mechanical contaminants on everyday use.
Key benefits in everyday use
-
reduces the unpleasant taste and smell of chlorine,
-
noticeably improves the taste of water,
-
prevents limescale buildup in household appliances,
-
reduces water hardness,
-
traps mechanical contaminants without causing a reduction in water pressure,
-
protects the domestic installation and appliances from sediment present in the water.
Which contaminants does it help remove?
The product description indicates that the insert helps reduce the presence of the following substances and contaminants:
-
chlorine,
-
heavy metals,
-
pesticides,
-
phenols,
-
nitrates,
-
nitrites,
-
hydrocarbons,
-
dioxins.
In addition, the insert effectively traps mechanical contaminants such as silt, rust, sand, and other sediment, which is especially important for protecting fittings and household appliances.
Construction and operating principle
The insert is made of polypropylene foam. This design enables mechanical filtration of solid particles present in water flowing through the system. The 20-micron rating makes the insert well suited as an initial protection element in domestic water treatment systems.
The flow-through design allows operation with a capacity of up to 15 L/min, depending on the water supply pressure. As a result, it can be used where maintaining efficient water flow while capturing sediment is important.
The insert should be replaced every 90 days. Regular replacement helps maintain filtration efficiency, proper flow, and protection of the installation and household appliances.
Home use
The DAFI mechanical insert can be used in a domestic water system as a universal filter cartridge for capturing solid sediment. This is a particularly useful solution where the water carries grains of sand, rust, silt, or other mechanical contaminants.
It works well as support for broader water treatment systems and as the first stage of protection for devices and installations. It can be used both on its own and as part of a larger water filtration system.
Operation and replacement
The insert is intended for standard use in domestic conditions. The recommended replacement interval is every 90 days, and the service life is 3 months. Regular replacement is important to maintain performance and proper flow parameters.
The operating temperature range of the insert is 2-30°C. Staying within this range supports safe and proper use of the product.
Using this insert is a practical investment in protecting the installation and extending the service life of household appliances used at home.
