How often do I need to maintain or replace parts of a Whole House Water Filter?
Maintenance depends on your water quality, sediment load, usage, and the specific filter components. Sediment pre-filters might need replacement every 3–6 months if there’s a lot of particulate matter in the water. Activated carbon or chemical media filters might last 6–12 months, depending on contaminant levels. More advanced stages like UV lamps need attention too—they may require annual replacement or cleaning to maintain effectiveness.
It's also important to monitor indicators like change in water taste or odor, drop in water pressure, or leaks. If you notice any of these, it’s a signal some part of the filter system may be clogged or due for maintenance. Regular checks and scheduled upkeep keep the filter working optimally, protecting both the system and your household water quality.
