How often do I need to change the filter cartridges?

Asked a year ago
The frequency of changing filter cartridges depends on various factors, including the specific water quality and filter type. In general, it is recommended to replace them every 3 to 6 months for carbon filters, and every 6 to 12 months for sediment filters. However, households with heavy water usage or poor water conditions may need more frequent replacements. It's crucial to monitor the system's performance and follow manufacturer instructions. Signs like reduced water flow, unusual taste, odor, or visible debris in the water indicate the need for a cartridge change. Neglecting to replace cartridges promptly can diminish filtration efficiency, affecting water quality and potentially damaging the system. Regularly inspecting and replacing filter cartridges according to the specific needs of your system is vital in maintaining clean and safe drinking water.
