How a 5-stage cartridge works
Water passes through five layers inside the cartridge, each with its own job.
-
1
Coarse screen
Catches larger particles such as sediment and rust flakes as water enters the cartridge.
-
2
Distributor
Spreads the water evenly so it flows through the full depth of the filter media.
-
3
Activated carbon
Helps reduce chlorine taste and odour and some organic compounds.
-
4
Ion-exchange resin
Exchanges dissolved minerals and metals: what a TDS meter reads as total dissolved solids.
-
5
Fine screen
A final fine layer holds back small particles before water reaches your reservoir.
Results vary with your local tap water. Use a TDS meter to check your own readings.
Digital TDS meter
Measure total dissolved solids in your tap water and your filtered water. A rising reading on filtered water is a handy sign it may be time for a new cartridge.
- Reads TDS (ppm), EC and temperature
- TDS range 0–9990 ppm
- Test tap water and filtered water side by side
Frequently asked questions
Will these filters fit my pitcher or dispenser?
ZERO FILTER ONLINE® cartridges are made for round 5-stage pitchers and dispensers that use a twist-in cartridge. Compare your current cartridge with our product photos before ordering. Not sure? Email info@zerofilterstore.com and we will help.
What does a 5-stage cartridge do?
Water passes through a coarse screen, a distributor, activated carbon, ion-exchange resin and a fine screen. Together these layers help reduce sediment, chlorine taste and odour, and dissolved solids. Results depend on your local tap water.
When should I replace my filter?
Filter life depends on how much water you filter and on your tap water. Check your filtered water with a TDS meter: when the reading starts to rise, or you notice a change in taste, it is time for a new cartridge.
Do I need to soak or flush a new filter?
No soaking or flushing is needed. Install the cartridge following your pitcher or dispenser instructions, fill the reservoir with cold tap water and let it filter through.
Which pack size should I choose?
Every pack contains the same 5-stage cartridge. Choose by how often you change filters. The price per filter for each pack is shown on the product page.
