The OmniFilter CB3 water filter is a single-stage under-sink water filter for use with Omni's undersink water filtration systems. The OmniFilter CB3 is also compatible with any brand of water filtration system that uses 9 3/4 inch x 2 1/2 inch filters.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Filter does not fit.
I purchased this cartridge to replace the original cartridge in my Omni CBF3 undersink filter unit. The new filter assembly is 0.0125" taller than the original assembly. The new filter uses thicker gaskets on the top and bottom surfaces. The taller filter will not allow the top and bottom halves of the canister to screw together sufficiently to compress the filter unit sealing o-ring.
As a result the canister now leaks.
Several emails to Omnifilter prompted a half-hearted response from a lady named Linda. The conversation follows:

Me: If I remove the gaskets there will be no sealing surface to force the water through the filter. The water will bypass the filter.

Omni CB3 Filter Cartridge
The Omni CB3 is an under sink filter replacement cartridge. I use it as the second stage of a dual filter system, a generic carbon filter is used in stage one. My experience over several years of use with this setup has been outstanding. I rely on surface water coarse filtered through a swimming pool sand filter as my only source of water. From a cistern it is pumped to a whole house system. A bar tap faucet at the kitchen sink is connected to the under sink filters and provides all my drinking water. The CB3 provides safe drinking water for 4 to 5 months. The flow rate drops as the filter reaches capacity. The CB3 takes out volatile chemicals, lead, chlorine, sediment, and its 0.5 micron rating traps cysts from animal waste. My wife tells me daily that we have the best drinking water she has ever tasted. I agree. I highly recommend this filter for safe and tasty water.
Great with Kenmore 34451 countertop filter
