SPECTRUM Aqualyze Single System Large Diameter 20" with Complete Adaptor Kit – SFHS-1-20LD

The SPECTRUM Aqualyze SFHS-1-20LD Single System is a high-capacity 20" Large Diameter filter housing designed for commercial, industrial and higher-flow water filtration applications. Supplied as a complete packaged system with the necessary installation and monitoring accessories, it provides a convenient single-stage filtration solution for targeting contaminants such as sediment, bulk solids or organics, depending on the cartridge selected.

Designed specifically to accept 20" x 4.5" Large Diameter (LD) filter cartridges, the SFHS-1-20LD provides significantly greater cartridge capacity than conventional standard-diameter housings. The large-format design makes it particularly suitable for installations requiring higher flow rates, increased contaminant holding capacity and longer cartridge service life.

The system features a 1" connection and can accommodate flow rates of up to 90 litres per minute when fitted with a suitable pleated cartridge. The SPECTRUM specification also identifies typical maximum flow rates of approximately 40 lpm for depth cartridges and 15.2 lpm for carbon cartridges, demonstrating the importance of selecting the appropriate cartridge for the required application and flow rate.

Complete Adaptor Kit

The SFHS-1-20LD is supplied with a complete adaptor kit, providing greater flexibility when integrating the housing into new or existing water treatment installations. For the 20LD configuration, the manufacturer's specification lists fittings to adapt the 1" housing connections to 22 mm or 28 mm pipework.

Large Diameter Cartridge Compatibility

This housing is only compatible with Large Diameter cartridges measuring approximately 20" long x 4.5" diameter. It is not designed for standard 2.5" diameter filter cartridges.

Compatibility with AA, DOE and CG end-cap configurations provides flexibility when selecting SPECTRUM Large Diameter cartridges for different filtration duties. The manufacturer's SFH specification confirms DOE, AA and CG end-cap compatibility across the range.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SPECTRUM Economic Three Stage Housing System 10inch used for?
The SPECTRum Economic Three-Stage Housing System is a pre-assembled, space-saving water filtration system designed for residential, commercial, and light industrial use. By combining three filters into one unit, it provides multi-stage water treatment without needing to plumb multiple housings together. Here’s how it's typically used and configured: Progressive Multi-Stage Filtration The system cleans water in stages, tackling different contaminants at each step. A common setup includes: Stage 1 (Pre-Filtration): A sediment filter (e.g., 50 to 5 microns) traps sand, rust, scale, and other large particles. Stage 2 (Chemical Treatment): A carbon cartridge reduces chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), bad tastes, and odours. Stage 3 (Final Filtration): A fine sediment filter (e.g., 1 micron), a specialized resin cartridge (for deionisation or scale), or a microbiological barrier provides the final polish. Protecting Downstream Systems This three-stage setup is effective at extending the life of more delicate or expensive filters (like UV sterilizers or reverse osmosis systems) by removing clogging sediments and damaging chlorine first. Treating Private Water Supplies It is often used for private water sources like boreholes, wells, or springs. These sources often require robust, multi-stage treatment (e.g., sediment removal followed by iron reduction) before the water is used. Key System Specifications Cartridge Compatibility: Fits standard 10-inch double open-ended (DOE) cartridges. Port Configurations: Available in multiple port sizes (¼” to ¾” BSP) to match different flow rates and pipes. Pressure & Temperature: Rated for pressures up to 8.6 bar (polypropylene) or 6.9 bar (clear styrene) and operates safely between 4°C and 40°C. Installation Readiness: Includes a mounting bracket, sump spanner, and integrated pressure gauges to monitor when cartridges need replacement.
