Sediment filter:

• Lifespan and replacement: This filter typically lasts 3 to 6 months, depending heavily on your water's sediment levels. Replace it promptly.
• Maintenance importance: Timely replacement ensures larger particles like dirt and rust are removed, protecting your other, more expensive filters from premature clogging.
• Impact of neglect: Failing to replace can significantly reduce water flow and damage downstream purification stages, compromising overall system performance.

Activated carbon filter:

• Lifespan and replacement: Carbon filters generally require replacement every 6 to 12 months. This maintains effective removal of chlorine and organic impurities.
• Maintenance importance: Regular replacement ensures your water remains free from unpleasant tastes and odours, and effectively removes harmful chemicals.
• Impact of neglect: An expired carbon filter allows contaminants to pass through, affecting water quality and potentially overloading subsequent filters.

RO membrane:

• Lifespan and replacement: The RO membrane is highly durable, lasting 1 to 3 years. Replace it when your purified water's Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) levels rise.
• Maintenance importance: Its effectiveness relies on well-maintained pre-filters. Regular replacement ensures consistent removal of dissolved solids, heavy metals, and microbes.
• Impact of neglect: A worn membrane results in high TDS in your drinking water and can severely reduce the purifier's output flow.

Mineraliser (Post-RO Filter):

• Lifespan and replacement: Typically, mineraliser cartridges last 6 to 12 months. Ensure timely replacement to maintain mineral content.
• Maintenance importance: It re-adds essential minerals like calcium and magnesium to your purified water, enhancing its taste and health benefits after the RO process.
• Impact of neglect: Skipping replacement means your water will lack these beneficial minerals, potentially affecting taste and perceived health benefits.

Water filter cartridges are often brand-specific, designed to fit particular purifier models. Manufacturers typically use proprietary designs to ensure optimal performance and maintain warranty. While some universal cartridges exist for standard housings, always verify compatibility. This guarantees effective filtration and avoids damage to your system.

• Identify your purifier model: Always check your purifier’s model and brand. Cartridges are often brand-specific, ensuring correct fit and performance.
• Assess your water quality: Refer to your water test report. Choose cartridges (e.g., RO for high TDS, activated carbon for chlorine) to address your water’s specific contaminants.
• Consider lifespan and genuineness: Evaluate the cartridge’s expected life and replacement cost. Always opt for certified, genuine products to ensure effective filtration and maintain your warranty.
