When Do I Need to Change My Filter?

Understanding the frequency of changing your canister filter is crucial for maintaining optimal water quality. Generally, it is recommended to replace your canister filter every six months or less, depending on your water usage and the specific conditions of your water supply. If you're experiencing a loss in water pressure, it may be past time to change the filter. We do not recommend waiting until pressure issues arise to change your filter. When you change the filter, check the inside of the filter. Is it discolored? If so, you may need to change the filter more often. Regular changes help ensure that contaminants are effectively removed, and your filtration system operates efficiently.

Factors such as the quality of your source water, the volume of water you consume, and the presence of sediment or other impurities can influence how often you should change your filter. For households with higher iron and/or sediment levels, more frequent changes may be necessary. It's always a good idea to monitor your filter's performance and consult our FAQ page for specific recommendations tailored to your situation. For detailed instructions on how to change your sediment filter, please see our Troubleshooting guide here.

By adhering to a regular maintenance schedule and changing your canister filter as needed, you can prolong the life of your filtration system and ensure that your drinking water remains clean and clear.
