Yes, this involves taking your old cartridge out of its housing and measuring it with a tape measure.
These dimensions are listed in the description of each and every one of our filters.
Once you know your dimensions in millimetres (mm), you can also take our 2 minute filter quiz to help find your right filter, fast!

Overall Length

Measure through the inside hole from one side to the other, this will ensure any small lips around the hole are included in the measurement, which may change the length.

Diameter

Measure the top of the filter directly from one side to the other.

Hole Diameter

Measure the filter hole from one side to the other.

Send us the measurements plus photos of your existing filters and we can get you on the right track with the right filter replacement.
