Replacement Filter Element AMG FA 20, 5 µm water filter cartridge

The AMG FA 20 replacement filter element is a high-quality sediment filtration solution designed for use in compatible water filter housings. Engineered with a precision 5-micron rating, this cartridge effectively captures suspended solids, sand, silt, and rust particles from your water supply. Constructed from high-grade wound polypropylene string around a sturdy polypropylene core, it ensures structural integrity and consistent performance in both residential and industrial water treatment applications.

Advantages

This filter cartridge offers exceptional dirt-holding capacity, allowing it to operate efficiently for extended periods before requiring replacement. Its wound design promotes a high flow rate, ensuring that your water pressure remains stable while effectively removing contaminants. The robust polypropylene construction provides excellent chemical resistance and durability, making it suitable for a wide range of water types, including both potable and non-potable primary water sources.

Suitable for

• Residential point-of-entry water filtration
• Pre-filtration for sensitive downstream equipment
• Industrial water processing systems
• Protection of household fixtures and appliances from sediment damage

When it may not be suitable

This filter is designed specifically for sediment and particulate removal and will not effectively reduce dissolved chemicals, chlorine, heavy metals, or microorganisms. It is not intended for use as a standalone purification system for microbiologically unsafe water without additional treatment stages.

Key specifications

• Filtration rating: 5 microns
• Material: Wound polypropylene string with polypropylene core
• Maximum operating temperature: +80°C
• Outer diameter: 61 mm (2.4 inches)
• Inner diameter: 28 mm (1.1 inches)

How to use

To install the filter, first shut off the water supply to the filter housing and release any residual pressure. Unscrew the housing bowl, remove the exhausted cartridge, and clean the interior of the housing if necessary. Insert the new AMG FA 20 filter element, ensuring it is properly centered on the base guide. Reattach the housing bowl, tighten it securely, and slowly turn the water supply back on to check for leaks.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing filter housing is compatible with the 20-inch standard size
• Ensure the 5-micron rating meets your specific filtration requirements
• Check that the operating temperature of your water system does not exceed 80°C

For optimal performance and to prevent pressure drops, replace the filter element regularly based on your water quality and total volume usage.
