10" Carbon Block Replacement Cartridge Suits CalFresh C Kit Chlorine, Taste & Odour Bacteria, Cysts & Heavy Metals Replace Every 4–6 Months
The Calmag Fresh C 10" Carbon Block Filter Cartridge (MPN: CART-FRESH-C) is the genuine Calmag replacement cartridge for the CalFresh C Drinking Water Filter housing. It should be replaced every 4–6 months to maintain filtration performance and ensure a continuous supply of clean, filtered drinking and cooking water. Using a genuine Calmag Fresh C cartridge ensures compatibility with the CalFresh C housing and maintains the original filtration specification.
The Fresh C cartridge employs a fine-grade activated carbon block with a small-mesh structure — providing effective reduction of chlorine, unpleasant taste and odour, sediment, discolouration, organic material, bacteria, cysts and heavy metals. The carbon block format (as opposed to granular carbon) delivers more consistent filtration performance and better microbiological reduction than loose granular alternatives. Simply unscrew the housing bowl, remove the spent cartridge, insert the new one, and refit the bowl — no tools required.
🔁 When to Replace the Cartridge
Replace the Fresh C cartridge every 4–6 months under normal household use. Signs that replacement is needed: reduced flow rate at the drinking tap; return of chlorine taste or smell; or cloudiness in the filtered water. In areas with particularly high sediment or chlorine levels, the cartridge may need replacing more frequently. Calmag offers a free reminder service — register your CalFresh C kit after purchase to receive notifications.

| Discolouration | Adsorption of colour-causing organic compounds |
| Organic Material | Reduction via carbon adsorption |
| Bacteria & Cysts | Physical filtration — small mesh structure traps microbiological contaminants including Cryptosporidium cysts |
