Cartridge replacement frequency
Cartridge life will vary in direct proportion to the amount of water used and the type and level of impurities in the water being processed. It is recommended that the cartridge be replaced when the first of the following occurs:
(a) 750 gallons of use
(b) 9 – 12 months of use
(c) the flow rate diminishes (which occurs when the cartridge becomes clogged with particulate matter);
or (d) the cartridge becomes saturated with bad tastes and odours.
DO NOT EXCEED ONE YEAR OF USE.
Important note
The cartridges listed above are for use with municipally treated water that is micro-biologically safe ONLY .
These cartridges cannot be back flushed or rinsed and used again. Even if your cartridge is still white and the flow rate is still high, once your cartridges have been wetted they should always be replaced within a year, regardless of remaining capacity.
