Filter Cartridge for Breakroom Use

The Alto Shaam FI-26356 is a carbon filter cartridge designed for breakroom water systems. It reduces chlorine taste, odor and sediment with a 0.5 micron rating. The unit operates at a flow rate of 1.5 gpm and offers a service life of 15,000 gal. It fits standard housings with its 3 5/16 in outside diameter and 10 1/2 in overall height.

Upgrade From Basic Sediment Filters

This cartridge replaces simple sediment-only elements by adding carbon media that targets chlorine taste and odor. The jump is worth it when water quality reports show noticeable chlorine levels or when users report poor flavour in coffee and drinking water. The 0.5 micron rating also captures finer particulates that coarser filters miss.

Straightforward Cartridge Swap

Installation requires shutting off the water supply, relieving pressure and unscrewing the housing bowl. The cartridge drops in with the 3 7/8 in overall length aligning to the housing seat. What usually goes wrong is forgetting to lubricate the O-ring or over-tightening the bowl, which can cause leaks or cracked housings.
