This collection includes two different kinds of products, so it's worth knowing which one you need before you shop.
Tier1 cartridge kits are for an existing housing. Each kit bundles a replacement cartridge with a new O-ring and lubricant, cross-referenced to common Pentek part numbers. Swapping in a fresh O-ring each time you change the cartridge gives you a watertight reseal; reusing a worn O-ring is one of the most common causes of housing leaks.
US Water Filters complete 2-stage systems are for a new install. Each one includes housings and cartridges, starting with sediment filtration and adding a second stage for your water concern:
If you already have a housing and just need fresh filters, choose a cartridge kit. If you're starting from scratch, choose a complete system. Shopping for housings only? See Water Filter Housings.
