A \u003cstrong\u003ereplacement water filter cartridge\u003c\/strong\u003e for the inline filter on ELLSI 3 in 1 and 4 in 1 boiling water taps: the carbon rod element on its own, ready to twist into the filter head already mounted in your cupboard. No housing, no bracket, no tubing — just the refill, which is all most owners need two to four times a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside is an activated carbon rod. Going by its printed label, it adsorbs organic chemicals, odour, dirt and fine particles, and removes calcium and magnesium — the hardness minerals that would otherwise bond to the heating element in the tank as scale. That second job is why the cartridge has a schedule. Once it is spent nothing fails on the day; the tank simply starts scaling again, and the tea starts tasting of the mains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore ordering, look at the top of the cartridge you are replacing. This one has a \u003cstrong\u003escrew-fit neck with two black O-rings\u003c\/strong\u003e, shown in the close-up photo. Older ELLSI systems were supplied with a different filter top, and this cartridge will not suit those heads.

The label rates it for water between 4°C and 38°C at up to 0.4 MPa (4 bar), with a flow of 3.5 litres a minute, and it must sit upright in its head. If your mains pressure runs above 4 bar, the label calls for a pressure reducing valve ahead of the filter inlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReplacement water filter cartridge only\u003c\/strong\u003e — the refill for an existing inline filter head, without paying for a second housing and bracket.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActivated carbon rod element\u003c\/strong\u003e for organic chemicals, odour, dirt and fine particles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCalcium and magnesium removal\u003c\/strong\u003e so scale cannot build up on the tank's heating element.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScrew-fit neck with a double O-ring seal\u003c\/strong\u003e — the old cartridge twists out of the head and the new one twists in by hand.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits ELLSI 3 in 1 and 4 in 1 boiling water taps\u003c\/strong\u003e, including the same system sold under other badges (see the specification).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3–6 month replacement cycle\u003c\/strong\u003e, set by your water hardness and how much you draw.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtects the tap's warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e — the label warns that not changing the filter as instructed may invalidate it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 year guarantee\u003c\/strong\u003e against manufacturing defects.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specification\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eELLSI (Etal)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReplacement water filter cartridge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePDT-000053\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSuits\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 in 1 and 4 in 1 boiling water taps with the current inline filter head\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCompatible Badges\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eELLSI, Etal, Flode, Impromta, Ceki, Hanstrom, Harmoni, Bower Palma, Wodar, Liquida, Kranen, Vesta\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFilter Media\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eActivated carbon rod\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRemoves\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCalcium, magnesium, organic chemicals, odour, dirt and particles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCartridge Fitting\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScrew fit, double O-ring seal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolypropylene\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRated Flow\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.5 l\/min\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMax Water Pressure\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.4 MPa (4 bar)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWater Temperature Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4–38°C — cold feed only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOrientation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVertical only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e280 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDiameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eReplacement Cycle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3–6 months, depending on water hardness and use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUse\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eResidential\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGuarantee\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 Years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Activated carbon rod replacement filter cartridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe filter head, wall bracket, connectors and tubing are not included — they come with the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/irishbath.ie\/products\/inline-water-filter-kit-replacement-carbon-cartridge-boiling-tap\"\u003einline water filter kit\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen to Change It, and How\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere you land in the 3–6 month window depends on your water. Supplies across Dublin, Kildare, Meath and much of the midlands are hard, so plan on every three or four months there; softer water in the west stretches it towards six. Two signs it is due: water from the boiling side starts to taste of the mains again, and its flow slows a little. A note in the calendar works better than waiting for either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe change itself takes a few minutes and no tools. Turn off the cold supply to the tank, twist the old cartridge anticlockwise out of the head, check the O-rings on the new one are seated, and twist it in until firm, keeping it upright. Turn the supply back on and let water flow through the new cartridge for about 30 seconds to prime it before normal use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose a Replacement Cartridge Over the Full Kit?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the head does not wear out — only the element inside it does. If your filter head is mounted, sealing properly and takes the top shown here, the cartridge is all you need, and it is the cheaper way to keep the tank protected year after year. Choose the full kit instead if the head is cracked or discoloured, if your system was fitted without a filter, or if your current cartridge has the older top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the refill for the filter supplied with our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/irishbath.ie\/products\/instant-boiling-water-tap-3-in-1-chrome-tank-filter\"\u003echrome\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/irishbath.ie\/products\/instant-hot-water-tap-3-in-1-matt-black-tank-filter\"\u003ematt black\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/irishbath.ie\/products\/brushed-brass-boiling-tap-3-in-1-tank-filter\"\u003ebrushed brass\u003c\/a\u003e 3 in 1 boiling taps — the same cartridge for all three, because it lives in the cupboard rather than on the sink.
