Filter Cartridges
Filter Cartridge Life
It is recommended to replace filter cartridges every six months or 1000 gallons of use. However, your water quality can
lead to circumstances such as diminished water flow, visible sediment, or unwanted taste and/or odor in your water,
requiring the cartridges be replaced sooner.
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, chlorine, or other unwanted substances is in the water.

warm water. Rinse thoroughly. Then fill bottom of each housing 1/3 full with water. Add 1TBSP (14.7ML) of
household bleach and scrub to disinfect. .
