PP20 Aqua Vita string filter cartridge 20 micron
Rating
PP20 Aqua Vita is a string filter made of polypropylene yarn for 10" pipe bodies and under-sink filters. It mechanically filters water with an accuracy of 20 microns, capturing sand, silt, and rust among others. It protects the installation and subsequent filters (e.g., carbon, softening). Low pressure drop 0.2-0.4 bar. Performance up to 25 l/min.
Description
PP20 Aqua Vita 20 micron string filter cartridge is a polypropylene filter cartridge for 10" standard inline housings and under-sink filters, designed for mechanical water filtration. It effectively retains sand, silt, rust, and other solid contaminants, supporting the water filtration system, protecting the installation, and extending the service life of subsequent components such as carbon cartridges, softening cartridges, and components used in solutions such as a water filter, reverse osmosis filter, and reverse osmosis. Thanks to its 20 µm filtration rating, capacity of up to 25 l/min, and low pressure drop of 0.2-0.4 bar, it performs well both in a house and an apartment.
Effective mechanical filtration of utility water
The Aqua Vita string cartridge is made of polypropylene yarn and is designed for use in standard 10" inline housings and under-sink filters. It is a practical solution for water treatment and installation protection against mechanical contaminants present in the supply water.
The 20 micron filtration rating allows it to effectively capture typical solid impurities that may impair the operation of fittings, valves, taps, household appliances, and subsequent filtration stages.
Key advantages of the PP20 Aqua Vita cartridge
- Retains all kinds of mechanical contaminants: sand, silt, rust, etc.
- Provides high filtration accuracy while maintaining a low water pressure drop.
- Filters with an accuracy of 20 microns, which is sufficient to protect the entire water installation in a house or apartment.
- Made of polypropylene yarn formed in a way that enables filtration throughout the entire structure of the cartridge.
- Provides protection for expensive carbon, softening, iron removal cartridges, as well as the water installation itself and plumbing fittings.
- Can operate in installations with low pressure, for example at pressure below 2-2.5 bar.
- Has PZH hygienic approvals.
- Made of materials certified by NSF and FDA.
How does a polypropylene yarn string cartridge work?
The cartridge structure is based on appropriately formed polypropylene yarn. This design means that filtration takes place not only on the surface, but throughout the entire structure of the cartridge. In practice, this means effective capture of mechanical contaminants while maintaining good water flow.
This is especially important where the cartridge serves as a preliminary filtration stage before more specialized filtration media. In such applications, it helps reduce premature wear of subsequent cartridges and stabilizes the operation of the entire system.
Application
The PP20 Aqua Vita model is used in general utility water filtration and in under-sink systems. It can be used as the first protection stage for the water installation and the downstream elements of the water treatment system.
- 10" inline housings
- under-sink filters
- protection of carbon cartridges
- protection of softening cartridges
- protection of iron removal cartridges
- protection of plumbing fittings and water installation
- pre-filtration in sets where an osmotic filter or reverse osmosis system operates
The service life of the cartridge depends on the degree of contamination of the incoming water. In the case of a large amount of mechanical sediment, replacement may be necessary earlier than the maximum declared service period.
Operation and practical benefits
The cartridge has been designed to combine precise filtration with a low pressure drop. The 0.2-0.4 bar range helps maintain installation user comfort while effectively limiting the passage of solid particles to downstream system components.
Thanks to its ability to operate also at lower pressures, the cartridge performs well in installations where supply parameters are not high. It is a practical choice for users who want to protect a domestic water installation without excessively restricting flow.
In multi-stage applications where a water filtration system, reverse osmosis system, or reverse osmosis filter is used, such a mechanical cartridge is an important protective component. It limits the inflow of sediment to more advanced filtration media, which translates into more stable operation of the entire system.
