hello everyone.

i have a 3 filter undersink system. Cant remember exactly what each filter is but hopefully the experts can guess by the following.

1st is in a clear enclosure. it is the white polyester(?) filter.
2nd is a carbon(?) filter. looks like a dark material inside wrapped in white fabric and finally a white mesh material.
3rd is solid plastic cover filter.

not 100% sure if that is the order they are in. i know when i change them i put them in the correct order. just cant recall if the carbon or solid one is in the middle.

I change them approx every 9 - 12 months. when the water flow starts to get too slow is when i change them. the last 2 yrs the water supply must be extra dirty as i had to change them after ~9months. used to change them every june. not really using the water more than other years.
the water filter guys said same thing that they noticed things clogging up faster.

with that said. my question is ... everyone probably knows after a time a dish wrag gets all smelly and has to be changed. i cant help but think that as the filters get full of the nastys....that i am essentially filtering my water thru stinky dishwrags

It sounds as though your filters are standard 10" x 2.5" filters.

Is there any models of the system?


The first filter is just a sediment prefilter. Then, a carbon block filter. Finally, the GAC (Granular Activated Carbon) filter to 'polish' the water at the end.

If you do use the standard 10" x 2.5", then you can use the following;

1)Pentek P5
2)Pentek CBR2-10
3)Pentek CC-10

The CBR2-10 will have the finest filtration. This is not the cheapest for this size cartridge, but it will filter out more contaminants than just chlorine/taste & odor.
