A filter cartridge which can be filled with granular filter material, approximately in the shape of a cup open at the top which can be closed with a lid. This filter cartridge has a base (1) with at least one outlet aperture (2), has a sieve means (12) and side walls (3) and is for filtering liquids, in particular water. In order that even small granulate particles of, for example,. ltoreq. 200. mu. m wide cannot pass through the outlet apertures (2) in the base (1), and nevertheless good through flow of the liquid to be purified is ensured, it is provided according to the invention that 1-64 outlet apertures (2) are provided, each with a fabric insert (12) with plastics frames (11), with a pore size in the fabric of 50. mu. m to 300. mu. m, preferably 80 to 200. mu. m.
