Water GemUnder Sink Filter System Replacement Inline Filter | Kitchen Tap Water Filter Cartridge | Universal 3/8" Male Stem Filter for Chlorine, Taste, Odour and Scale

Arrived very quickly, simply but well packaged in a heavy guage polythene sleeve and outer Amazon cardboard 'envelope'. No fitting instructions, so - as this was my first filter change for my newish tap - I was a tad alarmed. A quick Google search and Bristan's website (because my tap is the Bristan AR SNKPURE C Artisan Kitchen Sink Tap with 3in1 Operation) provided the instructions I needed to do the job. Even after isolating the water supply, the filter and pipes do retain quite a lot of water! A few towels and a large stew pot helped. Replacing this cartridge will be easier next time, now I know what to do and how to do it. A word of caution about the push fit pipes to filter fittings: push the little ring that is where the fitting joins the filter, towards the pipe. This releases the pipe with just a gentle tug. Otherwise you'll be tugging until you're blue in the face. You probably already know this, but I didn't and I spent quite a while on YouTube... The Bristan instructions that I've mentioned, don't show this as they assume a certain level of knowledge that I just didn't have. In summary: easy to fit, remember the push fit trick, have towels and large container handy, flush through with 20 ltrs before use. Job done. I hope this helps

This is greatIve had several and always good , easy to install

Arrived promptly easy to install and good value for money

This was used to replace a Caple Purity tap filter. I was a bit concerned that it wouldn’t fit as couldn’t see any other reviews mentioning they had used it with the Purity. However, it was a perfect fit and my husband changed it easily. The difference in the water taste was obvious straightaway. At a third of the price of the Caple version, I’m very pleased that I found this and will be buying again.

I purchased an under sink filter system from B & Q and then guess what....yes, they stopped selling the cartridges! Having spent a long time looking for an alternative I stumbled across this 'Water Gem'. So for any of you that find yourselves in the same position - I can confirm that this is an excellent replacement for the 'Opella Aqua Shield'. It was delivered before time and well packed. Easy to fit and performs well.

Good so far thanks

Very pleased with the water filter

Nice and easy to install on my kitchen sink, water tastes better (still have a Brita kettle though) must remember to replace it more regularly!
