Aquafilter FH20B1-B-WB is a BIG BLUE 20" housing for cold water filtration. It consists of a bowl and a head with a 1" brass thread. It has a vent valve and a pressure gauge to monitor the level of dirt in the cartridge. It can be expanded with a second manometer (available for purchase). The set includes, among other things, a mounting plate, a wrench, and accessories.
FH20B1-B-WB Aquafilter is a durable BIG BLUE 20" inline filter housing designed for cold water filtration in residential installations and industrial applications. It works well as an efficient water filter in an advanced water filtration system, compatible with 20" BIG BLUE cartridges. Equipped with a pressure gauge and an air release valve, it makes system operation easier to monitor, while the 1" brass thread increases connection durability. It is a practical solution wherever effective water treatment and protection of installation equipment against contaminants are important.
The FH20B1-B-WB BIG BLUE inline housing consists of two main parts: a sump and a head fitted with a 1" brass thread. This design has been prepared for operation in cold water installations where high efficiency, convenient handling, and the possibility of expanding the filtration system are required.
This model can operate as a single filter housing or as part of a larger set connected in series. This makes it easy to adapt for both simple residential installations and more advanced water treatment systems.
The housing is equipped with an air release valve that allows air trapped inside the filter to be released after replacing the filter cartridge. This is an important part of routine operation that helps ensure proper system start-up after service.
It also includes a pressure gauge for monitoring the contamination level of the cartridges. Pressure readings help determine when the filter cartridge needs replacement, making it easier to maintain the proper performance of the entire water filtration system.
Thanks to the use of the same slot for the air vent and the pressure gauge, the housing can be expanded with a second pressure gauge. This allows pressure measurement both at the water inlet and outlet of the housing. The second pressure gauge is not included and must be purchased separately.
An additional advantage is the brass insert mounted in the slot. It enables easy screwing in and unscrewing of the air vent and pressure gauge without the risk of damaging the slot thread, improving durability during repeated servicing.
The housing is installed on the pipe supplying cold water to a house or apartment. Thanks to its high capacity, it is also used in industry, wherever effective pre-filtration or staged filtration is required.
FH20B1-B-WB installed upstream of devices such as:
effectively protects them against the buildup of various types of contaminants. In practice, this translates into better installation protection and extended service life of the devices operating downstream of the filter.
This solution can also be part of larger water preparation systems that use multiple stages of filtration. In such a system, the BIG BLUE housing often serves as a mechanical or specialist stage before subsequent devices, and depending on the configuration, it can also work with installations in which the next stage is a reverse osmosis filter, RO filter, or reverse osmosis system.
The FH20B1-B-WB housing is compatible with a wide range of 20" BIG BLUE cartridges available on the market. This provides great flexibility in selecting the filtration method for a specific application.
Supported cartridges:
Thanks to this, the housing can be used as a universal base for various filtration and water treatment tasks – from protecting installations against mechanical contaminants to preparing water for further treatment stages.
The FH20B1-B-WB housing is available as a set including a complete range of basic accessories needed for installation and operation.
The housing can be installed individually or connected in series with other filter housings. This solution makes it easier to build an installation tailored to the required flow rate and the type of cartridges used.
The product is intended for installation on the cold water supply line. After replacing the cartridge, the housing should be vented using the air release valve. If expanded with a second pressure gauge, it is possible to monitor the pressure at the inlet and outlet of the housing, making it easier to assess the degree of cartridge contamination and plan servicing.

Choose a set or individual cartridges. Replacement intervals depend on the cartridge and operating conditions.
The FH20B1-B-WB model is intended for cold water filtration. It is installed on the pipe supplying cold water to a house, apartment, or in industrial-use installations.
The housing is compatible with 20" BIG BLUE cartridges. Mechanical, specialist, and carbon cartridges can be used, allowing the filtration type to be selected according to the installation's needs.
The pressure gauge helps monitor the contamination level of the cartridge. Observing pressure changes makes it easier to assess when the filter cartridge requires replacement so that the system maintains proper efficiency and flow.
The air release valve allows air trapped in the filter to be removed after cartridge replacement. This makes it easier to start the filter correctly after servicing.
Yes. Thanks to the identical slot for the air vent and the pressure gauge, the housing can be expanded with a second pressure gauge. This enables pressure measurement at the water inlet and outlet of the housing. The second pressure gauge must be purchased separately.
No. This model works well both in houses and apartments as well as in industrial applications. Thanks to its high capacity, it can operate in more demanding filtration installations.
When installed upstream of devices such as a water softener, iron removal unit, or boiler, the housing helps protect them against the buildup of various types of contaminants, which contributes to extending their service life.
Yes. The housing can be installed individually or connected in series. This is a practical solution when building a multi-stage water filtration system.
The set includes: mounting plate, reducer, screws, wrench, and pressure gauge.
