3-STAGE UNDER-SINK WATER FILTER IRON REMOVER FCCFE 1/2"

Three-stage under-sink filter for effective preliminary filtration

This is a complete 3-stage pre-filter for under-sink installation with a 1/2" connection, ready to operate immediately after correct connection. Filtration is handled by specialized Aquafilter cartridges selected to achieve three key effects:

• cleaning,

• iron removal,

• chlorine reduction.

The set works well as effective protection for the water installation, fixtures, and selected household appliances. Thanks to three consecutive filtration stages, the water passes through properly selected media, and each filter cartridge is responsible for a different range of treatment.

What makes this set stand out

• 3-stage filtration in one set

• 1/2" connection for installation hookup

• complete set of cartridges for startup

• additional spare FCPS20 cartridge

• 3 three-piece housings on a frame

• 2 pressure gauges for easy system monitoring

• 3 antibacterial centering discs

• wrench for opening the housings and PTFE tape included

Filtration stages

Stage I – FCPS20, 20 micron mechanical filtration

The first stage is the FCPS20 cartridge made of polypropylene nonwoven fabric with a 20 micron rating. It is designed to remove mechanical and sedimentary impurities such as fine solids, silt, or sludge larger than 20 microns.

Such impurities may be present both in well water and in municipal water, where they can enter, among other things, during distribution. This type of cartridge protects subsequent filtration stages and helps safeguard the water installation, fixtures, and more advanced filter media.

The cartridge is made of high-quality polypropylene nonwoven fabric formed to filter water through the entire structure of the cartridge.

Cartridge lifespan: 3-6 months depending on water quality.

Stage II – FCCFE, iron-removal cartridge

The second stage is the FCCFE cartridge with an active iron-removal media bed. It effectively traps iron compounds dissolved in water and helps protect household appliances such as washing machines and dishwashers, as well as heating devices.

The cartridge contains a special fine-grained granulate with a high ability to capture iron ions. Its design has been developed to effectively improve water taste and odor and reduce metallic aftertaste. In addition, the cartridge has its own end filter that prevents granulate particles from escaping beyond the filter.

The composition of the media inside the housing helps adjust the water reaction (pH), which improves the iron-removal process. The cartridge is intended for standard 10-inch housings and can be used in inline, under-sink, and standing filters. Its flow rate is suitable for a single water draw-off point, for example before a kitchen tap.

FCCFE cartridge advantages:

• features exceptional ability to capture iron ions,

• contains technologically treated ion-exchange granulate with grain size from 0.2 to 0.7 mm for cold and hot utility water,

• prevents yellow stains on clothes and brown, rust-colored streaks on washbasins and bathtub walls,

• the cartridge has PZH hygienic approvals,

• made of materials certified by NSF and FDA,

• water flowing through the cartridge penetrates the entire ion-exchange granulate bed, ensuring maximum performance,

• the cartridge effectively eliminates metallic taste and odor from water,

• also has a polypropylene filter insert with 10 micron filtration accuracy for additional cartridge protection.

Cartridge lifespan: 1-3 months depending on water quality.

Stage III – FCCBL-S, granular carbon cartridge

The third stage is the FCCBL-S cartridge with granular carbon made from coconut shells. Its purpose is to reduce chlorine and its derivatives, as well as improve the taste and odor of the water.

Granular carbon cartridges do not cause a significant pressure drop in the installation, which is why they are often used where stable filtration system performance is important.

FCCBL-S cartridge advantages:

• Removes up to 99% of free chlorine from water and chlorine-derived substances

• Removes organic impurities

• Removes phenol and benzene from water

• Contains carbon from coconut shells

• Removes heavy metals (Pb, Cu, Hg, Sr, Cs)

• Softens water

• Helps reduce limescale

• Ensures excellent filtration even with pressure drop

• Removes up to 85% of chlorine-derived pesticides

• Removes mechanical impurities down to 5 microns

• Improves water taste and odor

• Highest lifespan of a carbon cartridge among all available on the market.

Cartridge lifespan: 3-6 months depending on water quality.

Three-piece Aquafilter housings – convenient operation and sealed construction

The system is based on three three-piece Aquafilter housings mounted on a frame. This solution makes cartridge replacement easier because when unscrewing the housing, you only need to unscrew the ring itself. There is no need to rotate the entire bowl, as in two-piece designs.

Each housing has a transparent 10" bowl that allows visual assessment of the dirt level of the cartridge inside. The three-piece design helps maintain high tightness and increases ease of use. The head is equipped with a brass thread.

The housing is made of high-quality materials. The product was manufactured and assembled in the European Union.

The 3-piece housing consists of:

• head with brass thread,

• ring,

• transparent bowl.

Pressure gauges and centering discs – elements that genuinely make operation easier

2 pressure gauges included

Two pressure gauges are included in the set. They allow pressure readings, which is useful when monitoring system operation and helps determine when cartridge replacement is approaching.

3 antibacterial centering discs

The centering discs are made using BACinix™ antibacterial technology with nanosilver. This is a bacteriostatic agent that helps prevent the growth of microorganisms inside the filtration system, allows longer storage time, and reduces the risk of secondary microbiological contamination.

Centering disc:

• facilitates correct cartridge installation

• prevents the growth of bacterial flora

• reduces the risk of pathogenic microorganism growth

• made of the highest quality materials in the European Union

• compatible with most cartridges available on the market

• ensures correct cartridge positioning when tightening components

• reduces the likelihood of cartridge damage during installation

• BACinix technology based on nanosilver provides antimicrobial protection
