FILTER CARTRIDGES
FILTER CARTRIDGE LIFE
Taste and Odor Cartridges: A taste and odor cartridge contains activated carbon. When new, open the
filtered water faucet and allow fine, carbon particles to purge from the cartridge. Flush for 10 minutes. It is
recommended to replace filter cartridge every six months of use. There are several variables that determine
how long a cartridge will last. These include:
1. How much water you use, and
2. How much sediment, taste and/or odor, or other unwanted substance, is in the water.
Use the following information as a guide. However, no matter which type of cartridge you are using, you
will know it is time to replace them when you first notice the return of the unwanted sediment, taste
and/or odor in your water, or when the flow diminishes or stops.
AEG Undersink Full Flow Water Filtration System model AEGFFS2 with replacement element AEGFFF2
has a capacity of 7570 liters (2000 gallons) at a rated service flow of 7.6 liters per minute (2.0 gallons per
