Description
Overview
When chlorine is left in water, it affects taste, odour, and the way appliances perform. The Inline Granulated Activated Carbon (GAC) Filter Cartridge is a proven way to strip chlorine back to trace levels, leaving water cleaner and better tasting. It connects directly with integrated 1/4" quick fittings, the same size used in most under-sink and inline filtration systems, so replacement is simple. This cartridge range is widely used across homes, offices, and hospitality setups where reliable chlorine reduction is needed.

Where to Use It
These cartridges fit directly into inline filter setups, most often found under kitchen sinks, on water coolers, or in appliance feed lines such as fridges with water dispensers. They are also used in commercial coffee machines, ice makers, and hospitality systems where chlorine-free water protects both taste and equipment.
Compatible Connections
All sizes connect to the standard 1/4" line, making them interchangeable with most under-sink systems and quick-fit inline housings already in place.
Appearance
These cartridges are slim, tube-shaped, and come in a few different lengths and widths. Each one is labelled with its micron rating and fitting size so you can match it with the system you already have.
Pro Tip
If your water supply has a mix of chlorine and metals like lead, go for the carbon cartridge with KDF added. The KDF helps pull out some of the metals and also keeps the carbon working for longer, which means fewer changeouts.
FAQs
1. What does a GAC filter do?
It uses activated carbon granules to absorb chlorine, improving the taste and odour of water and protecting appliances.
2. How do I know which size to choose?
Check the length and diameter of your existing cartridge. Common options are 6", 10", or 12" long and 2" or 2.5" in diameter.
3. Can I install the Replacement Inline GAC Filter Cartridge with 1/4" Quick Connect filter myself?
Yes. The integrated 1/4" quick connect fittings snap into place with no tools, making replacement straightforward.
4. How often should I change the cartridge?
Most users replace their GAC cartridge every 6–12 months, depending on water quality and usage.
5. What is the benefit of carbon with KDF?
The carbon removes chlorine while the KDF media reduces heavy metals and extends cartridge life, making it a good option for tough water supplies.
