- Insert the Puregen QGA-25002 into a compatible 12-inch standard filter housing, ensuring proper alignment and seal.
- Hand-tighten the housing sump, turn on water supply slowly, and check for leaks around the housing O-ring.

- Replace the cartridge every 6-12 months depending on water quality and usage volume.
COMPATIBILITY
Housing Requirements
The Puregen QGA-25002 fits standard 12-inch filter housings with 2.5-inch diameter cartridge capacity. This GAC filter is commonly used in whole-house filtration systems, point-of-use applications, and pre-filtration stages for reverse osmosis systems. Verify your housing accepts standard 12-inch cartridges before ordering.
🔧 Pro tip: Always flush GAC filters thoroughly after installation. Carbon fines are normal and harmless but will cloud your water if not flushed out. Run water through the filter for at least 5 minutes before connecting it to appliances or drinking water lines.
