Fernox CC1 Anti-Microbial Cartridge Filters utilise next-generation side stream filtration technology designed to restore HVAC system performance, improve energy efficiency and enhance user safety. The cartridges incorporate industry-leading anti-microbial treatment to inhibit bacterial growth on the filter surface, helping systems reach and maintain optimal operating conditions.
By combining micron-rated filtration with advanced anti-microbial protection, the cartridges support consistent debris removal, reduced biofouling and extended service life in closed-loop heating and cooling systems.
The range is available in four filtration grades:
50 µm
20 µm
5 µm
0.5 µm
Next-generation anti-microbial filtration technology for improved HVAC system performance and efficiency
Micron-scale zeolite carrier structure optimised to maximise surface area and filtration effectiveness
Silver (Ag) and zinc (Zn) anti-microbial treatment to inhibit bacterial growth on the filter surface
Reduces biofilm and biofouling, extending filter life and lowering operating costs
Improved absolute debris removal ratings for consistent and reliable filtration performance
Enhanced user safety by reducing harmful bacteria within dirty or blocked filter housings
Fernox CC1 Anti-Microbial Cartridges are designed for use in side stream filtration systems as part of a staged filtration strategy for closed-loop commercial heating and cooling installations.
Typical applications include:
Commercial heating and cooling systems
Systems prone to biofilm build-up or microbial contamination
Installations requiring extended maintenance intervals and reduced pump energy demand
In heavily fouled installations, staged filtration allows debris to be removed in a controlled manner, reducing the risk of premature blockage and enabling gradual improvement of system cleanliness. Coarser filtration stages are introduced first, followed by finer micron-rated cartridges as debris loading reduces and maintenance intervals extend.
This approach supports improved system reliability, extended filter service life, reduced biofouling and consistent filtration performance over time, while helping systems achieve and maintain optimum operating efficiency.
Product Details
Fernox CC1 Anti-Microbial Cartridges utilise next-generation side stream filtration technology developed to improve HVAC system performance, energy efficiency and operational safety.
The cartridges use micron-sized zeolite structures as a carrier for a specially curated anti-microbial treatment based on silver (Ag) and zinc (Zn) particles. By optimising fibre diameter to the active particle size, the filtration media maximises surface area and enhances interaction between the system fluid and the anti-microbial agents.
This technology helps prevent biofilm build-up on the cartridge surface, reduces biofouling and improves debris holding capacity, enabling longer maintenance intervals and reduced operating costs.
