1. A filter cartridge for operatively coupling to an interface, the interface comprising a bypass valve for actuating the interface between a bypass mode in which fluid flowing through the interface does not flow through the filter cartridge and a treatment mode in which the fluid flowing through the interface is directed through the filter cartridge for treatment by the filter cartridge, the filter cartridge comprising:

  • a cartridge housing having a first end and a second end and extending along a housing longitudinal axis through the first end and the second end;

    a filter media contained within the cartridge housing between the first end and the second end;

    a first end cap on the first end of the cartridge housing; and

    a bypass valve actuator attached to the cartridge housing and extending distally to an actuator distal end, the bypass valve actuator configured such that the actuator distal end actuates the bypass valve of the interface as the filter cartridge is coupled to the interface, the bypass valve actuator comprising;

    an elongated rod having a rod first end connected to the cartridge housing, wherein the elongated rod extends distally and substantially parallel to the housing longitudinal axis from the rod first end to a rod distal end which forms the actuator distal end, and further wherein the elongated rod is attached to the cartridge housing using a clip attached to the cartridge housing.
