I dont like filters with mechanical moisture separators in the same housing. just a preference I guess. I sent a PM

to be honest, not sure why yes for it, why no for it?

why don't you like it?

I prefer mechanical water separators a seperate unit from the chemical filters. Perhaps old fasion but. small units like a P21 IMO does not have a lot of room for condensate volume. If you miss a manual drain or so it could contaminate the clemicals in the filter stack. the chems are not cheap especially if youare using monoxicon as one of them. on the other hand the intermediary water separators do most the work. my final separator is about a pint or more and is a great buffer for water holding if I get chatty on the phone.
 
the filter cartridge of paramina are identical with bauer!
 
Hi
The new paramina filter housings i have seen use a cartridge system
that they make to fit paramina newer housings.
I think years ago yes they had repack cartridges that they made for bauer housings.
they will not fit the new paramina filter housings
 
This is a filter tower

Maybe is an old model but i don't know this detail.
This paramina cartridge fits in the bauer filter tower!
 
Hi
The filter housing you have is known as P21 or Po in usa
The bauer cartridge used is a push fit in to the housing body 059183 or 057679
The cartridge you show looks to have a internal thread & screws on.
So may be some one has made a bit that pushes in to the lower housing
that has a male thread for your cartridge to screw on to.
