Not sure if these fit your system?

Pull one of your current pre-filters and measure. If it's roughly 9.75–10 inches tall and 2.5 inches in diameter, this kit fits. Almost every residential under-sink RO system built in the last 20 years uses this standard slim-line size.

Three filters. One easy refresh.

Replaces the three pre-treatment stages found in nearly every residential RO system — the workhorses that protect your membrane and polish your drinking water.

×1
SC25-1005 · Sediment Stage

5-Micron Polypropylene Sediment Filter

Catches rust, sand, silt, and visible particles before they reach the carbon stages — the first line of defense that extends the life of every filter downstream.

×2
CBCO-10-5 · Carbon Stages

Coconut Shell Carbon Block Filters

Two high-capacity 5-micron carbon blocks reduce chlorine taste and odor, organic compounds, and particulates — protecting your RO membrane and polishing the final product water.

How your RO system cleans water

This kit handles the three pre-treatment stages — the filtration that prepares water before it ever reaches the RO membrane.

Stage 01

Sediment

5-micron PP traps rust, silt, sand & debris.

Stage 02

Carbon Block

Coconut carbon reduces chlorine taste & odor.

Stage 03

Carbon Polish

Second carbon stage protects the RO membrane.

Better water. Longer membrane life.

Protects the RO Membrane

Chlorine destroys thin-film composite membranes. Fresh carbon blocks remove it before it ever reaches the membrane stage — significantly extending its service life.

Crisp, Clean Taste

Reduces chlorine, organics, and the off-flavors that make tap water unpleasant — without stripping the beneficial minerals you actually want to keep.

Better for the Planet

One filter change replaces hundreds of single-use plastic bottles. Lower waste, lower cost per gallon, no more grocery-store water runs.

Your RO replacement schedule

Most under-sink reverse osmosis systems follow the same maintenance rhythm. Here's what your system needs — and when.

6 mo

Pre-Filters (This Kit)

Sediment and carbon block pre-treatment. Replace twice a year, or sooner if you notice slower flow or off-tastes returning.

2 yr

RO Membrane

The heart of the system. With diligent pre-filter changes, your membrane should last 2 to 3 years of household use.

12 mo

Post-Carbon Polish

The final touch before water reaches your faucet. Annual replacement keeps every glass tasting fresh.

Good to know before you install

How do I know if my system uses 10" × 2.5" filters?
Pull one of your current pre-filters out and measure it. If it's approximately 9.75–10 inches tall and 2.5 inches in diameter (the slim-line standard), this kit fits. Virtually every residential under-sink RO system — iSpring, APEC, Olympia, Krystal Pure, Express Water, Home Master, and many private-label brands — uses this exact size. If you measure something significantly different, contact us with your system's model number before ordering.
Are these official iSpring, APEC, Olympia, or Krystal Pure replacements?
No — these are IPW Industries Inc. brand universal replacement cartridges engineered to fit the same housings used by those systems. We're not affiliated with any of those OEM brands, and our parts aren't covered by their warranties. Brand names are referenced strictly to identify compatibility. The benefit: same fit, same standards, smarter price.
Does this kit include the RO membrane?
No — this kit covers the three pre-filter stages only (sediment and two carbon blocks). The RO membrane is replaced separately, typically every 2 to 3 years. If you also need a membrane, look for our complete combo kits that bundle pre-filters and membrane together.
How do I know which filter goes in which housing?
The white polypropylene sediment filter goes in the first stage (the housing water enters first — usually furthest from the membrane). The two charcoal-grey carbon block filters fill stages 2 and 3. Always sanitize your hands and the housings during a change, lubricate the o-rings, and flush a few gallons through the system before drinking. Check your system's manual if you're unsure of the housing order.
Will these filters remove chloramines?
Standard coconut-shell carbon block reduces free chlorine taste and odor very effectively, but it is not optimized for chloramine removal. If your municipal water is treated with chloramines, a dedicated catalytic carbon filter is the better choice. Contact us if you're not sure what your utility uses and we can help you find the right cartridge.
How often should I really change these?
Every 6 months is the standard recommendation for typical residential use. If you're on well water, have high sediment, or use a lot of water, you may need to change them sooner. Slower flow at the faucet or a return of chlorine taste are both clear signs it's time.
