Product Name:
Mechanical Filter Cartridge PP (polypropylene) 1 microns Gross 20 (Big Blue)
General Description
The PP 1 mk. mechanical filter cartridge is designed for the effective preliminary purification of water in Big Blue 20 type main-line filters. It serves as the first stage of filtration, protecting subsequent, more expensive filters (such as activated carbon or ion exchange resin cartridges) from rapid clogging.
How It Works
The cartridge traps insoluble mechanical particles like:
- rust;
- sand;
- silt;
- clay;
- scale.
This occurs due to its porous structure, which allows water to pass through the cartridge while trapping contaminant particles on its surface and within. The denser the structure, the finer the particles it can capture.
Key Features

Advantages
- Extends the lifespan of the entire filtration system.
- Protects household appliances (washing machines, dishwashers, water heaters) from damage caused by mechanical contaminants.
- Improves water quality for domestic use.
- Easy to install and replace.
