Check Filtersfast. Usually better price than brick stores. Same filters, same plastic housing and cap.
There are different types of sediment cartridges that you can put in standard housing with cap:
1) Pleated paper - can be washed and reused,
2) Spun Poly - can not be reused,
3) Carbon - come in different grades, filter more than just sediments, can not be reused, some have additives that reportedly help with long-term storage but I wouldn't count on it.
About 3 oz per 100 gal while in storage. I don't think there is any hard number for this. If you put more bleach, and it sits longer, the chlorine will dissipate with time. But this is for long-term storage 6 months or longer. For in-use there is rarely a need to put bleach in tap water where there is already plenty of chlorine.
