Water Filter Housings Styles
Cartridge Filter Housings
Cartridge filter housings consists of a filter head and a filter sump, with the sump screwing onto the filter head.
A water filter cartridge is placed inside of the sump. Water enters the sump and pushes through the side walls of the filter or up through the bottom of the filter, interacting with the media inside the filter.
Most housings will have the inlet and outlet located on the filter head, as can be seen on the 20″ x 4.5″ Big Blue Water Filter Housing.
Bag Filter Housing
Bag filter housings take a bag filter, usually made of nylon mesh or polypropylene felt. Bag filters are designed to remove particulates from water, including sand, silt, dirt and rust. View our range of bag filter housings.
Water Filter Vessels
Vessels are designed to take large amounts of filter media. They are often used with activated Carbon (Chemical reduction), Glass Media (Sediment reduction), Calcite (for pH improvements) and Resin (for softening or pH adjustments). View our range of water filter vessels.

Pentek Big Blue and Pentek Big White water filter housings are American made products which are even higher quality. If you prefer the quality of American-made products, they are an even better choice.
Aqua-Pro Water Filter Housing
The strength of these Aqua-pro systems is the reason why they are often used as external point of entry caravan water filters or for external installations which filter tank water.
Clear Water Filter Housing
It’s important to note that clear housings are unsuitable for external use, as sunlight will penetrate the housing and increase the risk of bacterial or algal growth.
Home brewers and spirit makes often use clear housings as they like to monitor the speed and appearance of the fluid being filtered.
Clear water filter housings are also popular for industrial and medical applications.
QMP White Water Filter Housing
QMP white filter housings have take standard 10″ x 2.5″ water filter cartridges, which are easy to find.

QMP housings are useful for single, twin, and triple filtration systems. Can be used as a housing for under sink and bench top.
Filter Housing Frequently Asked Questions

Housings are design to accept incoming water and direct it through whatever filter it holds.
Filter Housings come in a wide range of designs and sizes. While most are made from plastic, there are also stainless steel models available for industrial and maritime applications.
What Are Cartridge Filter Housings?
In most cartridge housings, the water will enter one side of the head before flowing into the sump. Water flows through the cartridge and back up to the outlet on the filter head.
Can You Help Me Find The Correct Filter Housing?
What Size Are Under Sink Filter Housings?
Most under sink units use double open ended filter housings. However, some older units might have filters with a threaded end or a single open end. That’s why it’s always advisable to examine the filter itself before buying a new housing.
