AquaProtect-Duo High Capacity Technical Data Sheet
AquaProtect-Duo High Capacity (GC)
High-capacity general filtration and limescale protection at the point of entry
Principle
AquaProtect-Duo High Capacity provides filtration and scale protection for commercial and residential systems and equipment. It combines two 20-inch Big Blue filtration stages with a passive treatment RING installed at the module’s outlet.
|
1. Sediments 5 µm |
Compact polypropylene depth filtration cartridge: reduces sludge, rust, oxides, fine sand, and suspended particles. |
|
2. BLOCK 10 µm Activated Carbon |
High-capacity compressed structure: reduces chlorine, tastes, odors, many organic compounds, and certain PFAS, depending on the quality of the media and operating conditions. |
|
3. RING |
An external, passive device that does not come into contact with water and does not reduce the pipe’s cross-sectional area. It must be selected based on the actual outer diameter of the outlet pipe. |
Features and Benefits: Tangible Advantages in Everyday Life
• Reduction in airborne particulate matter.
• Reduction of chlorine, tastes, odors, organic compounds, and certain PFAS.
• Large capacity and long runtime thanks to the 20-inch Big Blue format.
• Reduces scale buildup in systems.
• Protection of pipes, valves, and equipment.
• No chemicals added to the water and no electrical connection required.
• Helps reduce maintenance and upkeep costs.
Functional Diagram: Network-Specific Configuration
The module is installed at the inlet, preferably on a bypass. The RING is included, but its diameter must be configured based on the actual measurement of the outlet pipe.

Recommended flow rate: 20 to 30 L/min to maintain a good balance between flow rate, pressure drop, and contact time with the activated carbon. Occasional flow rates of up to approximately 40 L/min are possible,
Maintenance
• Check the pressure upstream and downstream of the module regularly.
• Replace the cartridges based on usage, water quality, and an increase in pressure drop.
• As a general guideline: replace every 6 to 12 months, depending on professional use.
• Rinse the carbon cartridge thoroughly when putting it into service.
• The RING requires no consumables and causes no hydraulic pressure drop.
Installation Recommendations
• Install on a bypass to allow for maintenance without a prolonged power outage.
• Install shut-off valves and drain valves, and ensure there is sufficient space under the bowls to replace the cartridges.
• Install in a frost-free location, out of direct sunlight, and on a wall capable of supporting the unit’s operating weight.
• Follow the traffic direction indicated on .
• Measure the outer diameter of the outlet pipe before selecting the RING.
