7 Stage Water Filter

If you’re looking for a 7 stage water filter cartridge that suits compatible Awesome Water coolers and dispenser-style setups, this collection keeps it simple. It’s a no-plumbing way to help improve tap water taste at the point of use, using a multi-stage mix of carbon, activated alumina and mineral media. Choose a single replacement or a multi-pack so you’re not caught out when it’s time to change your filter.

Key benefits

• Better taste and smell: carbon stages are designed to help reduce chlorine taste/odour for a fresher finish.
• Fluoride reduction focus: includes activated alumina media, commonly used in filtration for fluoride reduction (results vary with local water chemistry and usage).
• No-plumbing convenience: ideal for cooler and dispenser setups where you want filtered water without installing an under-sink system.
• Simple re-order options: multi-packs make it easier to stay stocked and maintain a steady replacement routine.

How it works

This cartridge uses a staged approach rather than a single filter material:

• Pre-filtration to help catch sediment and visible particles.
• Carbon stages designed to improve taste and odour (often associated with chlorine).
• Activated alumina media included to support fluoride reduction performance (results vary depending on water chemistry and usage).
• Polishing media to help “round out” the overall drinking experience.

What you get

• 7-stage replacement filter cartridge options (select the pack size that suits your needs).
• Multi-media filtration stages (including carbon, activated alumina, and mineral/polishing media).
• A straightforward way to keep your compatible cooler or dispenser producing great-tasting water day after day.

Installation & maintenance

Most customers choose this style of cartridge because it’s quick to swap and easy to live with. Follow your unit’s instructions, then flush water through before drinking (this helps clear harmless carbon fines and gets the media working evenly). Replace on a regular routine that suits your usage—especially if you notice slower flow or taste changes.

FAQs

• Will this 7-stage cartridge fit my water cooler or dispenser?
  It’s intended for compatible cooler/dispenser setups. Because housings and connector styles can vary, check your current cartridge shape/label, or contact us with your model details (a photo helps) so we can assist with a match.
• Does it remove fluoride completely?
  This cartridge is designed for fluoride reduction using activated alumina media, but results vary with water chemistry, contact time and usage. If you need certainty for a specific situation, consider independent water testing and speak with a qualified health professional.
• Will it improve taste and smell?
  Many customers buy multi-stage cartridges to help reduce chlorine taste/odour and keep water tasting “cleaner”. Your experience depends on your local supply and how recently the cartridge was changed.
• How often should I replace it?
  Replacement timing depends on water quality and how much you use your system. If flow slows down or taste changes, it’s usually time to swap. Check your unit instructions for the best guide.
• Do I need a plumber to install it?
  Usually no—cartridge swaps are typically a simple changeover in compatible coolers/dispensers. If your setup is plumbed-in or you’re unsure, use a qualified tradesperson where required in Australia.
• Why choose a multi-pack?
  Same cartridge—multi-packs simply make it easier to stay stocked and avoid last-minute “we’re out of filters” moments.
