A recharge and filter assembly includes a housing with a removable recharge and filter cartridge. The housing includes a canister with a removable cover allowing access to the cartridge. The cartridge includes a filter element comprising a ring of media and upper and lower end caps. The upper end cap carries a peripheral seal which provides a fluid-tight seal with the housing canister. An annular channel is provided between an annular portion of the upper end cap and the seal. An annular support member from the cover is received in the annular channel to support the upper end cap. Latching fingers on the upper end cap and a mating ring on the cover removably couple the cartridge to the cover. The cartridge further includes a recharge canister supported by tabs on the upper and lower end caps. Fluid is recharged by inhibitor material, while particulates and other contaminants are removed by the filter media.
