Description
The Cara under sink water filter system offers reliable, straightforward filtration for households looking to improve water taste, clarity, and quality at the kitchen tap.
Designed to sit neatly under your sink, this compact system uses a three-stage filtration process to reduce sediment, chlorine, and odours — delivering clean, refreshing water for drinking, cooking, and everyday use.
It’s ideal for families who want noticeable improvement in their tap water while keeping installation and maintenance simple.
How the 3-Stage Filtration Works
Stage 1 – Sediment Filter
Reduces rust, dirt, sand, and other particles commonly found in municipal water.
Stage 2 – Carbon Block Filter
Reduces chlorine, chemical tastes, and unpleasant odours.
Stage 3 – Polishing Carbon Filter
Enhances water clarity and improves taste for a smooth, fresh finish.
Unlike reverse osmosis systems, the CA4001 does not remove dissolved minerals, helping maintain the natural balance of your water.

Strong Flow, Everyday Convenience
With a flow rate of 2.0–2.5 litres per minute, the CA4001 provides a steady stream of filtered water without noticeable pressure drop.
Its slim footprint fits comfortably inside most standard kitchen cabinets, and the generous 3,650-litre filtration capacity ensures long-lasting performance before filter replacement is needed.

Does it remove beneficial minerals?
No. Unlike reverse osmosis, this system maintains naturally occurring minerals in the water.
How often do I need to replace the filter?
The filter has a capacity of up to 3,650 litres, but replacement timing will depend on your household water usage and quality. As a general guide, many homes replace filters annually.
