Water Filter Cartridges

If your water filtration system requires the use of water filter cartridges they will need to be replaced on a regular basis. This schedule is dependent on the quality of your water and the level of usage. For example, someone with a lot of sediment in their water supply may have to change their filter cartridges more frequently than someone with minimal sediment. Cartridges are rated to last "up to" a certain number of gallons/months. However, keep in mind manufacturers have no way of knowing exactly how long any given cartridge may last given the quality of your water supply. Be sure to replace your cartridges whenever you notice a decline in their performance, such as when taste and odor return, or when low pressure or flow is noticed. At the very least, cartridges should be changed at least once a year. Home Page | FAQs | Glossary | Contact Us
