A filtration system having an in-line filter cartridge (100) with the inlet (170) at one end of the filter cartridge and the outlet (174) at the opposite end of the cartridge as in figures 1-6. The filter cartridge (100) is connected to the cartridge mounting on the fluid conduits via quick-disconnect couplers (111, 112) with built-in automatic water shutoff capability which enables the filter cartridge (100) to be installed and removed in a horizontal movement. A recirculating bypass is provided in the system which includes a pair of bypass branch lines (34, 36) to recirculate the fluid and prevent trapped stagnant water in the bypass lines (34, 36) as in figure 9. |
