How Often Should You Change Your Reverse Osmosis Water Filters Replacement?

 

 Uncertain Water Filter Replacement Timing 

Many users are unsure about how often they need to change their water filters. With various types of filters available, each having different lifespans, it can be challenging to remember when replacements are necessary.

 The Consequences of Improper Filter Maintenance 

When water filters are not replaced regularly, several issues can arise:

• Contaminated Water: Old filters lose their effectiveness, allowing contaminants such as chlorine, lead, and sediment to pass through.

• Decreased Water Pressure: Clogged filters can reduce water flow, making daily tasks like showering or washing dishes frustratingly slow.

• Higher Costs: Not replacing filters on time can lead to damage to your filtration system, resulting in expensive repairs or replacements.

To ensure your water is always clean and safe, follow these guidelines based on the type of water filters you use in your home:

 Sediment Filters 

• Typical Lifespan: 3-6 months

• Indicators for Change: Changing color of water filter, water filter turns brown color, visible dirt on filters.

 Activated Carbon Filters 

• Typical Lifespan: 3-6 months

• Indicators for Change: Decreased water flow, changes in water taste or odor, might have chlorine taste when water filter is not changed for a long period.

 Reverse Osmosis (RO) Filters 

• Typical Lifespan: 12-18 months

• Indicators for Change: Reduced water outlet, increased Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) levels.

 Post Carbon Filters 

• Typical Lifespan: 12 months

• Indicators for Change: Changes in water taste or odor.

 Factors Affecting Filter Lifespan 

• Water Quality: Poor water quality with high levels of contaminants or sediment means more frequent filter changes.

• Water Usage: Higher household water usage leads to quicker filter wear.

• Filter Capacity: Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for specific filter models.

 AW-1901 Direct Flow RO System 

• Smart LCD display showing TDS value and light indicator for cartridge replacement.

• RED light alert when filter replacement is needed.

• Insert type cartridges, quick and easy installation.
