Overview

About this product

The BIG 20" Pleated Refill is the filter element compatible with the BIG 20" Filter, indicated as a pre-filter for installations with high sediment levels in water. Produced with a polyester filter fabric, it is efficient in reducing suspended dirt particles, such as sand, clay and silt, without compromising flow rate.

Its pleated design increases the contact area with water — which is why high flow rate does not represent a loss of efficiency, but rather more filter surface. Internally, a polypropylene core ensures the element structure even in higher-rise installations. Water is forced to pass through the micropores of the polyester, and dirt particles are retained in the filaments, forcing water to find another path to be released — which ensures efficient filtration across the entire refill extension.

Main benefits:

  • Washable, which reduces the frequency of refill replacement
  • Flow rate of 6,000 l/h, suitable for high-demand installations
  • Filter element with snap-fit, offering more security and practicality in replacement
  • Pleated surface, with greater contact area with water
  • Easy replacement, which can be performed by the user
  • Compatible with the BIG 20" Filter (code 907-0013)

Usage recommendation: rinse the element in running water whenever there is a noticeable reduction in flow rate and replace it when cleaning does not restore the flow.

Complies with NBR 16098:2012 standard.

  1. Close the water meter shutoff valve.
  2. Unscrew the filter housing. Use the wrench if necessary (hold the filter with one hand to avoid damaging the piping).
  3. With a glove, remove the filter element full of impurities.
  4. Clean the housing and filter cap. Use only water and biodegradable soap; avoid abrasive materials.
  5. Check that the o-ring used for filter sealing is properly seated in the cap.
  6. Insert the new filter element inside the housing and screw the housing back onto the cap. Open the water meter shutoff valve again.
  7. In case of leakage, check the connections and the tightness of the filter housing.
