Water filter element BWT PROTECTOR mini C/R HWS 1" with stainless steel filter and pressure reducer (810550)

BWT PROTECTOR mini C/R HWS 1" is a compact water filter element designed for inline domestic and light-commercial hot water systems. The unit combines a stainless steel filtration element with an integrated pressure reducer to provide mechanical removal of particles and a stable outlet pressure. It is intended to protect downstream equipment such as boilers, heat exchangers, taps and mixing valves from debris and pressure fluctuations while maintaining hot water flow in tight installation spaces.

Advantages

The stainless steel filter element provides durable, corrosion-resistant mechanical filtration that is easy to clean and maintains flow characteristics over time. Integrated pressure reduction ensures a consistent outlet pressure, reducing stress on plumbing fixtures and appliances. The compact form factor simplifies installation in confined areas and minimizes the need for additional fittings. Materials and design are suitable for hot water applications, offering reliable protection for downstream components.

Suitable for

• Inline installation on domestic hot water supply lines
• Protection of boilers and heat exchangers from particulate contamination
• Pre-filtration before mixing valves, thermostatic cartridges and showers
• Light-commercial hot water systems in apartments, small offices or cafés

Key specifications

• Filtration element: stainless steel mechanical filter
• Function: mechanical particle filtration with integrated pressure reduction
• Connection size: 1" (one inch) inlet/outlet
• Application: hot water systems (HWS) for domestic and light-commercial use
• Installation type: inline, suitable for confined spaces

How to use

Install the filter element in the incoming hot water line according to the flow direction marked on the housing. Secure connections using appropriate 1" fittings and ensure the pressure reducer is oriented and adjusted per installation requirements. After installation, flush the system to remove installation debris and verify outlet pressure and flow. Periodically inspect the stainless steel element for accumulated particles and clean or service it according to local plumbing practice to maintain performance.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, install the element upstream of sensitive equipment and set the outlet pressure to match the requirements of downstream appliances. Perform routine inspections and cleaning intervals based on water quality and system usage. Use compatible tools and fittings for 1" connections and follow local codes for hot water installations.
