Filter Cartridges for Drinking Water

Reduce contaminants in your drinking water line. These cartridges meet NSF/ANSI 61 for use with drinking water. They’re pleated, which provides a large surface area for high debris retention. Use them in a filter housing.

High-Capacity Plastic Filter Housings with Cartridge for Drinking Water

Also known as reverse osmosis water filters, these have several cartridges that reduce odor, rust, sediment, and lead from drinking water, as well as a tank to store filtered water. Filter housings have an additional prefilter to protect the reverse osmosis cartridge from damage caused by particles and chlorine. They are opaque white so they block light to minimize algae growth.

Medium-Pressure Bronze and Brass Y-Strainers

Strainers catch debris in your pipeline, preventing damage to valves, pumps, nozzles, and other sensitive equipment. They are designed for medium-pressure applications. Strainers have a threaded drain with a plug that provides access to the screen without disconnecting your line. They have good corrosion resistance.

Filter Cartridges for Reducing Rust, Particles, and Sediment in Water

Style F

Use these cartridges in a filter housing to reduce contaminants in your water line.

Style F

Style F contain phosphate that dissolves slowly in water to prevent the formation of scale and rust particles.

Solid—Solid cartridges are constructed from one piece of material for high strength and durability.

Plastic Filter Housings with Cartridge for Drinking Water

Prepare water for use in beverages, food preparation, and ice production. These filter housings come with a cartridge that prevents scale formation, which can damage equipment. They also come with adapters and a length of tubing for under-sink installation between a water line and faucet. Both the filter and the cartridge meet NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 for use with drinking (potable) water.

Faucet-Mount Plastic Filter Housings with Cartridge for Drinking Water


	Replacement Cartridges

Tap into great-tasting water by screwing this filter directly onto your faucet. It comes with a cartridge that filters out sediment, chlorine, and other particles that cause unpleasant tastes and odors. The cartridge lasts approximately two months or 200 gallons of water. Filter housing is opaque white so it blocks light to minimize algae growth. It is not recommended for hot water.
