Depending on local water quality conditions and usage, the filter may require
changing every 6 to 12 months. You may also need to replace the filter if you
notice unpleasant odours or tastes, or if the flow rate of the tap is persistently
slow.
Some water may drip from the filter head (socket) and attached water lines
during replacement. Keep a bucket and towel handy to catch drips and mop up
any spills.
