Water filter cartridges are used to effectively remove a wide range of contaminants from your tap water - such as sediment, bacteria, parasites, chemicals and heavy metals.
Generally, it is the cartridge that requires replacement, not the entire filtration system. It is important to replace your cartridge within the recommended time period for optimal filtration performance.
When your water filter cartridge is replaced on time, you are ensuring you and your family are enjoying optimally filtered, clean water that tastes great and is better for you.
Our range of cartridges generally require replacement every 12 months. Please note, cartridges may be subject to replacement earlier than the recommended period, depending on your filter's individual usage and the varying water quality in Australia.
Pure Water Systems also provides a convenient reminder service to let you know when your cartridge is due for replacement.
Types of water filter replacement cartridges we offer
- Bench Top and Under Sink Cartridges
Designed to provide high-performance filtration for daily household use, these cartridges typically use carbon block filtration to effectively reduce chlorine, unpleasant taste, odour, heavy metals and microscopic contaminants, while maintaining good flow rates for your kitchen tap.
- Reverse osmosis cartridges
Specialised for reverse osmosis systems, these cartridges include sediment pre-filters, carbon filters, RO membranes and post-filters. They work together to achieve an exceptionally high level of filtration, removing dissolved solids, heavy metals, fluoride, bacteria and viruses through a highly efficient membrane cartridge.
Compact and versatile, these water filter replacement cartridges are designed for appliances like fridges, coolers and coffee machines. They help reduce chlorine, sediment, scale build-up and unwanted taste, keeping water fresh and better tasting.
These large-capacity cartridges are used in whole house systems to treat all incoming water. They focus on reducing sediment, rust, dirt and chemicals, helping protect appliances and plumbing while providing cleaner water throughout your home.
- Shower and bath cartridges
Tailored for hot water environments, these cartridges use specialised media to reduce chlorine and other chemicals that can irritate skin and hair. They offer a simple way to enjoy softer, cleaner water when showering or bathing.

FAQs
How do I know which replacement water filter cartridge is right for my system?
The best way to choose the right cartridge is to check the model number of your filtration system or your existing cartridge. If you’re unsure, our team is always ready to help guide you.
Can I use a generic filter cartridge instead of the original brand?
While some generic cartridges may physically fit, they may not perform to the same standard or match the filtration levels of the original. Using a recommended or genuine cartridge helps maintain optimal water quality and system performance.
Are replacement cartridges compatible with all filter systems?
Not all cartridges are universally compatible. It’s important to select one that matches your specific system type and model.
Can I recycle or dispose of used water filter replacement cartridges safely?
Many used cartridges can be disposed of with household waste, but certain types can be partly recycled. For example, some shower cartridges allow you to empty the contents into garden soil before recycling the outer casing. Always check the instructions for your cartridge type.
