Why you’ll love it
- Compatible with Lincat FC04 and Burco BC02
- Activated carbon helps improve taste and odour
- Scale inhibitor helps reduce limescale build-up
- Simple quarter-turn cartridge change
The Aqua Prime AP-FC04 is a high-quality compatible replacement for Lincat FilterFlow FC04 and Burco BC02 water boiler filters.
Manufactured for Aqua Prime by Microfilter, the company that produced the original FC04 cartridge, the AP-FC04 is made using Microfilter's original cartridge tooling. It offers the proven fit and cartridge design of the original in an independent Aqua Prime replacement.
Activated carbon filtration helps reduce impurities that affect taste and odour, while an integrated scale inhibitor helps control limescale inside the boiler. This supports reliable boiler performance and better-tasting water for tea, coffee and other hot drinks.
