Abstract: A fluid filter arrangement particularly useful in removal of selected impurities from drinking water including a hollow casing means to receive a selectively removable top end, and bottom end, defining a chamber and having an inlet in the top end for admission fluid to be treated and an outlet in the bottom end for emission of treated fluid, replaceable treating material retention means having a sidewall of generally the same shape as the inner wall of the casing so the sidewall of the retention means engages the sidewall of the casing in sealing relation where the retention means includes a concave fluid porous inlet end to be disposed in communicative relation with the fluid inlet and fluid porous outlet end opposite the inlet end communicating with the fluid outlet from the casing, where the replacable treating material means is designed to be replaced by terminating the flow of fluid to the hollow casing means by a method known in the art and removing the top end of the casing means.
