Universal 5-stage RO filter FAQ
Will these filters fit my 5-stage RO system?
They fit most standard 5-stage systems that use three 10" × 2.5" pre-filter housings, a standard 1812 membrane housing and a 10" × 2" inline post-filter. Measure your old cartridges first. Tankless and twist-lock systems use different cartridges.
What is in a standard 5-stage RO filter set?
Stage 1 is a 5 micron sediment filter. Stages 2 and 3 are carbon filters that remove chlorine. Stage 4 is the RO membrane. Stage 5 is an inline carbon post-filter that polishes taste.
How often should I change 5-stage RO filters?
Replace the sediment and carbon filters every 6 to 12 months and the inline post-filter about once a year. The membrane usually lasts 2 to 3 years.
Should I get the NPT or quick-connect inline filter?
Look at the ends of your old inline filter. If it has threaded fittings you can move over, pick ¼" NPT. If the tubing pushes straight into the filter, pick the quick-connect size that matches your tubing.
