1. A combination gas and fluid filter cartridge for an enclosed structure comprising:
a housing containing a central longitudinal axis, a gas filter media and a liquid filter media said housing including:
a first subassembly enclosing said gas filter media and including apertures spanning a periphery of a radially disposed sidewall of the first subassembly, wherein said apertures are disposed parallel to the central longitudinal axis and wherein said apertures allow gas flow to said gas filter media; and
a second subassembly attached to said first subassembly at a first subassembly end enclosing said liquid filter media;
said second subassembly including a second subassembly end comprising an ingress port, and egress port, and a second subassembly connector, said second subassembly end attachable to a filter manifold to establish fluid communication between the filter manifold and the filter housing, said first and second subassemblies removably attached to one another such that said first subassembly is removable from said second subassembly to facilitate replacement of said gas filter media without disconnecting said ingress and egress port of said second subassembly from said filter manifold, and wherein said housing is removably attachable to said filter manifold, such that said first subassembly and said second subassembly is secured to a refrigerator by said second subassembly connector.
