What is Aquabloc®?
All Racor marine fuel filter water separators incorporate Racor's exclusive Aquabloc® filtration elements. Aquabloc® features a unique engineered design with pleat-spacing corrugations and a graduated pore structure, enhancing dirt-holding capacity and prolonging filter lifespan. This waterproof and rustproof media efficiently captures contaminants, while its specially treated surface facilitates water separation and coalescence from the fuel. Resultantly, water gathers into large droplets, which then descend into the clear collection bowl. Aquabloc® elements are available in three different ratings:
30 micron (98%@30 micron): Ideally utilized as a pre-filter to safeguard downstream filters from excessive contamination, thus extending the lifespan of the entire fuel system.
10 micron (98%@10 micron): Offers enhanced contaminant capture compared to 30 micron elements and provides superior water-blocking capabilities, thereby prolonging the entire fuel system's longevity.
“2” micron (98%4 microns): Delivers optimal water removal and filtration, ensuring comprehensive protection for all modern injection systems and significantly extending the service life of challenging-to-access on-engine filters.
