A BRACKEY SYSTEM HOLDS ONE ORMORE FILTERS IN QUICK-ATTACH AND QUICK-RELEASE FASHION. BRACKET MODULES ARE COMBINED IN MODULAR FASHION, WITH TUBING OR OTHER CONDUIT BETWEEN THE MODULES, TO CREATE A "BANK" OF FILTERS EASILY CHANGED IN NUMBER, ARRANGEMENT, AND FLOW SCHEME. PREFERABLY, THE BRACKET SYSTEM COMPRISES PAIRS OF TOP MODULES AND BOTTOM MODULES THAT CAPTURE AND SUPPORT THE TOP END AND BOTTOM END OF A FILTER.. FILTER INLET AND OUTLET PORTS PREFERABLY SLIDE ONTO AND OFF/OF COOPERATING TUBES OR PORTS IN THEBRACKET MODULES, FOR INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF THE FILTER ONTO/FROM THE MODULES WITHOUT TOOLS OR THREADED CONNECTIONS. A TOP RETAINING MEMBER PREFERABLY PIVOTS OFF OF ITS RESPECTIVE BOTTOM MODULE. THE BOTTOM MODULES MAY BE PIVOTAL, SO THAT LIFTING THE FILTER UP FROM THE BRACKET SYSTEM IS FACILITATED BY ALLOWING THE FILTER TOP END TO ALSO PIVOT OUT AWAY FROM THE TOP MODULE. EACH FILTER IS PREFERABLY SUBSTANTIALLY VERTICALLY AND PIVOTALLY REMOVABLE FROM THE BRACKET SYSTEM. A KEYED SYSTEM MAY BE USED TO ENSURE THAT ONLY THE APPROPRIATE FILTER FITS INTO THE APPROPRIATE FILTER HOLDER, WHEREIN THE KEYED SYSTEM INCLUDES KEY PROTRUSIONS AND COOPERATINGG KEY RECESS ON THE MATING SURFACES THAT FORM A FLUID CONNECTION BETWEEN THE FILTER AND THE FILTER HOLDER. VARIOUS SETS OF HOLDERS AND FILTERS MAY BE PROVIDED WHEREIN EACH SET HAS KEY STRUCTURE AT DIFFERENT RADIAL LOCATIONS ON THE MEMBERS, SO THAT FILTERS FROM A PARTICULAR SET CANNOT BE USED WITH ANY OTHER SET'S HOLDER. A UNIVERSALLY-KEYED FILTER MAY ALSO BE SUPPLIED THAT ONE OF THE DIFFERENTLY-KEYED FILTER HOLDERS SO THAT THE UNIVERSALLY-KEYED FILTER MAY BE USED WITH THE VARIUOS SET'S HOLDERS
