Product description
Three layers of polypropylene work with coconut shell activated carbon to target sediment and chlorine in tap water. This 5-micron replacement cartridge combines sediment and carbon filtration in one unit, helping bring a practical whole-house filtration step to a compatible system.
Supplied as a two-pack, it suits regular cartridge changes while keeping a replacement on hand. The filter is designed for standard 10" x 4.5" heavy-duty housings and named models including GE FXHTC, GXWH40L and GXWH35F, plus Culligan RFC-BB and Pentek RFC-BB.
Size & fit
The cartridge measures 9 7/8" x 4.5" and is intended for standard 10" x 4.5" filter housings. Its listed compatible models include GE FXHTC, GXWH40L, GXWH35F, GXWH30C, GXWH38F and GNQH38S, as well as Culligan RFC-BBSA, WRC25HD and Pentek RFC-BB. Check the model or housing size of your existing setup when choosing a replacement, the cartridge is recommended for tap-water filtration.
The combination design is useful when you want sediment and carbon filtration in the same cartridge rather than choosing a sediment-only replacement. Its polypropylene layers capture sediment, while coconut shell activated carbon targets chlorine and VOCs. The product is stated to reduce up to 99% of chlorine, sand, rust, sediment and colour, and carries an NSF 42 certification for reducing aesthetic impurities.
What you’ll notice day to day
For a household replacing a whole-house cartridge, the two-pack makes it convenient to keep the next filter ready. The manufacturer recommends changing the cartridge every 3–6 months depending on use and water quality, or when taste changes or water flow drops significantly. It also recommends flushing a new cartridge for five minutes before use.
Customer feedback is positive about fit in compatible housings and straightforward installation, with some buyers also describing the water’s taste and appearance favourably. Experiences with odour reduction, filtration, durability and water pressure vary, so these impressions are best treated as individual experiences rather than a guaranteed result.

When it makes sense
Choose this PUREPLUS cartridge when your compatible whole-house system uses a standard 10" x 4.5" format and you want a combined sediment-and-carbon replacement for tap water. Its multi-layer PP construction and activated carbon bring two filtration approaches together, while the two-pack supports planned maintenance. You’ll like it if you want to replace a compatible cartridge with one designed to address sediment and chlorine in a single filter.
