Home Master Artesian & HydroGardener Replacement Filter Change Set - White, 3-Pack (Sediment + GAC + Remineralizer)

Three replacement cartridges designed to restore Artesian and HydroGardener systems to factory filtration performance for up to 2,500 gallons or one year.

This Home Master ISetTMA8 change set supplies the three pre- and post-filters used in Tap Master and Home Master Artesian lines, including HydroGardener models. Each kit includes a depth sediment filter plus two 5-micron carbon-based cartridges — one standard granular activated carbon and one remineralization carbon blend — all manufactured in the USA and tested to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for chlorine and particulate reduction. The combined cartridge stages reduce taste- and odor-causing chemicals and restore balanced mineral character where the system design adds remineralization.

How long will this replacement filter set last in typical use?

Under normal household conditions, the filter set is rated for about 2,500 gallons of treated water or roughly one year, whichever comes first. Actual life depends on supply water quality and household consumption; heavily sediment-laden or chemically treated sources may shorten filter longevity.

• Rated lifespan: 2,500 gallons or 1 year.
• Monitor taste, odor, and flow rate as signals to replace earlier.
• High sediment or high-chlorine feeds can reduce service life.

Which filters are included and what does each do?

The kit contains three 5-micron cartridges: a spun poly sediment filter that captures particles, a coconut-shell granular activated carbon (GAC) filter for taste and odor, and a combined remineralization/GAC filter that both polishes water and restores balanced minerals. Together they form the pre- and post-treatment stages that protect downstream components and improve final water flavor.

• 5-micron spun poly: high holding depth sediment capture.
• 5-micron coconut-shell GAC: reduces chlorine, VOCs, and organic tastes.
• 5-micron Artesian remineralization + GAC: adds minerals and final polishing.

What certifications and performance claims should I expect?

These cartridges are manufactured and assembled in the United States and have been certified under NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for chlorine (Class I) and particulate (Class V) reduction. The filters are formulated to remove a wide range of taste- and odor-causing compounds, including many VOCs and TOCs, improving water flavor and clarity.

• NSF/ANSI Standard 42 certified for chlorine and particle reduction.
• Removes up to approximately 95–98% of certain chemicals linked to bad taste and smell, depending on conditions.
• Designed to protect RO membranes and maintain system efficiency.

How easy is installation and maintenance?

Home Master designed these replacement filters for straightforward annual service without special tools; quick-connect fittings and standard sizes simplify swaps. Replacing the cartridges as recommended keeps downstream components like reverse osmosis membranes working efficiently and maintains consistent water pressure and throughput.

• Tool-free cartridge changes with quick-connect fittings.
• Standard 5-micron sizing for compatibility with listed models.
• Annual swap recommended to preserve performance and longevity of the system.

Who this kit is for: This three-cartridge Home Master ISetTMA8 set is well suited for homeowners using Tap Master Artesian, Home Master Artesian, Tap Master Artesian Full Contact, Home Master Artesian Full Contact, or HydroGardener systems who want OEM-grade replacements made in the USA. It's a practical choice for anyone seeking certified chlorine and particulate reduction, straightforward annual maintenance, and the added option of remineralization for improved water taste and balance.
