3-stage pre-filter for the whole house
This is a complete set intended for installation at the main inlet of the home water system. The system has been designed to purify water from mechanical impurities and reduce water hardness at the same time thanks to ion-exchange cartridges. In practice, this means more convenient use of the installation and better protection of components that are in constant contact with water.
The set provides:
- purification
- water softening
Additional practical benefits:
- easy to install, aesthetically pleasing, and ergonomic
- provides precise mechanical filtration, removing sand, silt, and rust
- features an exceptionally effective ability to exchange calcium and magnesium ions for sodium ions, softening the water
- recommended for protecting household appliances, heating equipment, and plumbing systems against the buildup of calcium and magnesium deposits (scale)
- excellent at eliminating bad taste and odor from water, as well as toxic organic compounds
- the 3-piece housing ensures maximum sealing and guarantees easy cartridge replacement
Unlike solutions such as reverse osmosis, an osmosis filter, or a reverse osmosis system typically used point-of-use under the sink, this water filtration system operates at the main inlet and protects the entire home already at the initial treatment stage.
How 3-stage filtration works
The effectiveness of the system is ensured by specialized AQUAFILTER cartridges. Each stage performs a different function, so the water is first protected against mechanical contaminants and then softened in the next two stages.
Stage I – FCPS20
FCPS20 is a 20-micron polypropylene nonwoven cartridge.
An excellent cartridge for filtering mechanical (sedimentary) contaminants from water.
The very high filtration accuracy indicates the typical applications of this product: removing fine fractions of solid contaminants from water, such as silt, sludge, and similar deposits larger than 20 microns. These contaminants can be found both in well water and in municipal water, where they often enter during distribution.
The cartridge is typically used in under-sink and inline filters as protection for more expensive carbon, softening, and iron-removal cartridges, as well as for the water installation and fittings themselves.
The cartridge is made of high-quality foam, i.e. polypropylene nonwoven fabric, formed in a way that ensures water filtration throughout the entire structure of the cartridge.
Cartridge life: 3–6 months depending on water quality.
Stage II and III – FCCST
FCCST is a water-softening cartridge with ion-exchange media.
It removes calcium and magnesium ions from water, replacing them with harmless sodium ions. This helps reduce water hardness and limits scale buildup in the home installation.
The cartridge is recommended for protecting household appliances, heating devices, and plumbing installations against the buildup of calcium and magnesium deposits.
Cartridge advantages:
- the cartridge contains technologically treated ion-exchange media with grain sizes from 0.2 to 0.7 mm
- features an exceptionally effective ability to exchange calcium and magnesium ions for sodium ions, softening the water
- used for cold and hot domestic water
- prevents scale buildup in household appliances and industrial machines
- the cartridge components have been approved by NSF and FDA
- the cartridge has a PZH hygienic certificate
- designed so that water flowing through the cartridge penetrates the entire ion-exchange media bed, ensuring maximum performance
- excellent at eliminating bad taste and odor from water, as well as toxic organic compounds
- the cartridge also contains a polypropylene filter insert with a filtration accuracy of 10 microns, removing mechanical contaminants such as sand, silt, or rust
Cartridge life: 2–4 months depending on water quality.
3-piece AQUAFILTER housing
The Aquafilter inline housing has been designed for quick installation and effective protection of the water system. The use of a 3-piece construction significantly simplifies everyday operation and cartridge replacement.
The innovative 3-piece housing design means that to unscrew the housing, only the ring needs to be turned. There is no need to rotate the entire bowl, as is the case in 2-piece designs.
The housing has a transparent 10" bowl, allowing a visual assessment of the level of contamination of the cartridge inside. The 3-piece housing ensures maximum sealing of the housing and guarantees easy cartridge replacement. The head has a brass thread.
The product is made of high-quality materials, manufactured and assembled in the European Union.
The 3-piece AQUAFILTER housing consists of:
- head with brass thread
- ring
- transparent bowl
Pressure gauges and BACinix centering discs
2 pressure gauges included
The pressure gauges included in the set allow pressure readings. This is a practical function that makes it easier to determine when cartridge replacement is approaching.
3 antibacterial centering discs
The disc is made using BACinix antibacterial technology that uses nanosilver. It is a bacteriostatic agent that prevents the growth of microorganisms inside the filtration system, which allows for longer storage time and protects against further microbiological contamination.
Centering disc:
- facilitates correct installation of the cartridge
- prevents the development of bacterial flora
- reduces the risk of harmful microorganisms developing
- made of the highest quality materials in the European Union
- compatible with most cartridges available on the market
- ensures proper positioning of the cartridge when tightening the components
- reduces the likelihood of cartridge damage during installation
- BACinix technology based on nanosilver provides antimicrobial protection
Additional spare cartridges
This set also includes additional cartridges, allowing you to prepare the system for continued use without the need to immediately purchase replacement materials.
- 2 x FCPS20 – 20-micron polypropylene nonwoven cartridge
- 4 x FCCST – water-softening cartridge with ion-exchange media
To maintain the high efficiency of the water filtration system, regularly check the condition of the cartridges, observe the pressure gauge readings, and replace the cartridges according to their expected service life and the actual water quality in the installation.
