Watts (FPHRC-20) 20" x 2.5" Big Blue Oil Reduction Filter Cartridge

The Watts FPHRC-20 is a 20-inch Big Blue specialty cartridge engineered to remove oil, gasoline, diesel fuel, and hydrocarbon contaminants from whole-house water in a single pass. Its absorbent media permanently bonds to hydrocarbons without significant pressure drop, even at full saturation, making it ideal for well water affected by fuel spills or petroleum contamination.

COMPATIBILITY & APPLICATIONS

Where This Filter Works

The Watts FPHRC-20 is designed for whole-house applications where petroleum contamination is present in well water or municipal supplies. It installs in any standard 20-inch Big Blue filter housing and is particularly effective for properties near gas stations, industrial sites, or areas with underground storage tank leaks. The absorbent media targets oil, gasoline, diesel fuel, solvents, and surface sheen while maintaining high flow rates. This is a specialty filter that addresses specific hydrocarbon contamination and should be used in conjunction with sediment pre-filtration for optimal performance and cartridge longevity.

💧 Pro Tip: Oil reduction cartridges work by absorption, not mechanical filtration. Once the media is saturated with hydrocarbons, the cartridge must be replaced—it cannot be cleaned or backflushed. Install a 5-10 micron sediment pre-filter upstream to extend the life of this specialty cartridge and protect the absorbent media from fouling.
