Improved water filtration assemblies comprise a distribution manifold, a filter adapter and a filter cartridge, wherein the filter adapter connects the distribution manifold to the filter cartridge such that one or more fluid flow pathways from the distribution manifold to the filter cartridge are established. Additionally, the filter adapters of the present disclosure can comprise a lock, which can lock or secure the filter adapter to the distribution manifold such that a user can engage and disengage a filter cartridge from the adapter without the filter adapter disengaging from the distribution manifold. Due to the presence of the filter adapter, and the lock that secures the filter adapter to the distribution manifold, a consumer can easily engage and disengage replacement filter cartridges from the filter adapter without disengaging the adapter from the manifold. In some embodiments, the adapter has an improved design configuration.
