COMPATIBILITY
System Fitment
The Omnipure CK5520 is engineered as a direct replacement for Cuno 3M CS-25 filter cartridges and fits any system using bayonet-style permanent heads with 10"x2.5" cartridge specifications. This includes point-of-use RO pre-filters, whole-house filtration systems, and commercial beverage equipment. The CK-Series design eliminates the need to purchase expensive OEM replacement bodies while maintaining full compatibility with existing infrastructure.
🔧 Pro Tip: Mark your installation date on the filter body with a permanent marker. Carbon block filters should typically be replaced every 6-12 months depending on water quality and usage, even if flow rate hasn't noticeably decreased.
