PP20 String filter cartridge for AquaVita water 9 pcs.

Universal sediment cartridge for mechanical water filtration

The AquaVita PP20 cartridge is designed to remove suspended solids and mechanical deposits present in water. Its task is to capture typical solid contaminants such as sand, silt, and rust, which can deteriorate water quality and accelerate wear of fixtures, appliances, and subsequent filtration stages.

Thanks to the standard 10" size and 2.5" diameter, the cartridge fits popular filter housings used in home installations and in many utility applications. This solution works both as a standalone mechanical filtration stage and as protection for more sensitive elements of the system.

Key advantages of the AquaVita PP20 cartridge

1. 20-micron filtration precision – effective water purification from typical mechanical contaminants.
2. Density gradient – larger contaminants are trapped on the outer layer, while finer ones are captured inside the cartridge structure, extending its effective operation.
3. Minimal pressure drop – efficient filtration at high flow rates, especially beneficial where water pressure is low.
4. Hygienic approvals – PZH, NSF, and FDA certifications.
5. Durability and stability – high rigidity and material durability contribute to reliable cartridge operation in everyday use.

Construction and operating principle

The cartridge is made of high-quality polypropylene fiber wound around a filtration core. This construction is valued in sediment filtration because it enables effective retention of solid particles while maintaining good water flow.

Layered contaminant capture means that larger particles remain closer to the outer surface, while finer ones are trapped deeper inside. In practice, this translates into more even use of the entire cartridge structure and longer service life compared with simple solutions based on uniform surface filtration.

Application

The PP20 is a cartridge intended for filtering suspensions and mechanical deposits in water. It effectively reduces the presence of:

• sand,
• silt,
• rust.

This model is suitable for domestic and industrial installations, especially where effective filtration with as little pressure drop as possible is important. It performs well in houses and apartments, as well as in systems where mechanical filtration is the first stage of water preparation before further treatment.

Compatibility and installation

The cartridge is easy to install and fits standard 10" filter housings. It is a universal format, widely used in utility water filtration systems.

Operation and replacement

The recommended service life of the cartridge is up to 6 months or approximately 14,000 liters of filtered water, depending on water quality. The actual operating time may be shorter if the water contains large amounts of mechanical deposits.

Regular replacement of the cartridge helps maintain contaminant removal efficiency and protect downstream installation components and devices connected to the filtration system. This is especially important in multi-stage systems, where the mechanical filter serves a protective role for subsequent components.
