Filtration system

A manifold-mounting bracket combination for securing a filter cartridge assembly, said combination comprising:

• said manifold including:
• a valve including a first and second aperture on a left side of said manifold, and a corresponding first and second aperture on a right side of said manifold, said first and second apertures on said manifold left side adjacent one another, and said first and second apertures on said manifold right side adjacent one another, said first apertures on said manifold left and right sides positioned vertically higher than said second apertures, respectively, such that said first apertures are in fluid communication with a mounting bracket left and right fluid ports when said manifold is pivoted to a first position, and said second apertures are in fluid communication with said mounting bracket left and right fluid ports when said manifold is pivoted to said second position;
• at least one pivot boss or pivot boss receiver;
• and
• at least one shoulder bolt or guide track;
• and
• said mounting bracket including:
• at least one pivot boss receiver or pivot boss in rotational contact with said at least one complementary pivot boss or pivot boss receiver on said manifold to provide pivotable rotation for said manifold;
• at least one guide track or shoulder bolt in slidable contact with said at least one complementary shoulder bolt or guide track on said manifold for slidably mating said manifold to said mounting bracket, said at least one guide track guiding said manifold pivoting from said first position to said second position.

A replaceable filter comprising:

• a filter media;
• a filter cap comprising at least one identifying groove, rib, extended shape, or embedded shape formed on, or attached to, said filter cap top surface, such that a filter lid having at least one complementary rib, groove, embedded shape, or extended shape adjoins said top surface of said filter cap by mating said at least one rib, groove, extended shape, or embedded shape;
• a fastener;
• and
• an ingress port and an egress port extending from said filter cap and in fluid communication with said filter media.

A replaceable filter comprising:

• a filter media;
• a filter cap;
• a fastener;
• an ingress port and an egress port extending from said filter cap and in fluid communication with said filter media;
• and
• a resilient filter bag encompassing said filter media, said filter bag having apertures to provide for permeability and depressurization.
