A water filter cartridge is provided for gravity-feed water filtration applications, and includes a granular filter media made from a mixture of titanium dioxide particles interspersed with granular activated charcoal. The granular filter media is placed in a filter housing having an upper inlet opening and a lower outlet opening. A seal may be disposed around an outer periphery of the housing at its upper region, and may include a flange region that flexes upwardly upon insertion of the sidewall into a filter cartridge opening.

A water filter cartridge is provided for gravity-feed water filtration applications, and includes a granular filter media made from a mixture of titanium dioxide particles interspersed with granular activated charcoal. The granular filter media is placed in a filter housing having an upper inlet opening and a lower outlet opening. A seal may be disposed around an outer periphery of the housing at its upper region, and may include a flange region that flexes upwardly upon insertion of the sidewall into a filter cartridge opening. Optionally, the filter media is arranged in several distinct layers, such as a top media layer that is a mixture of agglomerated nanoparticles of titanium dioxide interspersed with granular activated charcoal, an intermediate media layer in the form of agglomerated nanoparticles of titanium dioxide, and a lower media layer that is another mixture of agglomerated nanoparticles of titanium dioxide interspersed with granular activated charcoal.
