Do filter elements need to be replaced every year?

2023-08-17

How often you need to change your filter really depends on your filter material, below I'll tell you how long the different filters last:

1. Softening filter element

Friends who have used water purifiers know that impurities in tap water will be absorbed by the filter element. If you turn on the water purifier for a period of time, you can see that the filter element has become very dirty, so the filter element must be replaced regularly.

The softened filter element can be replaced every 2 years and can be recycled and reused.

2. Polypropylene cotton

Pp cotton can be said to have the shortest service life among all filter elements, and it can be replaced in time after about 6 months of use. Because this filter element is easily polluted, in order to keep the water outside the water purifier clean, we must work hard to replace the filter element.

3. Reverse osmosis membrane

Many good water purifiers use RO membrane as the filter element. The advantage of this filter element is that it has a long service life. Under normal circumstances, it should be replaced once every two years.

4. Ceramic filter element

One material is a ceramic filter element, which has a long service life, generally 5 years is a problem, and it has another advantage: easy to clean.

5. Activated carbon

The activated carbon filter element is one of the common water purifier filter elements and needs to be replaced once a year.

How to judge whether the filter element needs to be replaced?

Some people say that I can't often disassemble the water purifier to check the filter element, so how can I judge whether the filter element needs to be replaced?

In fact, it is very simple, just look at the discharge of your faucet, if the current is too slow for you to accept, then most of the filter elements of your water purifier should be replaced.

So whether the filter element of the water purifier should be replaced every year has been elaborated in detail, and I will summarize it again:

Whether to replace the filter element every year is mainly related to its material. The PP cotton filter has a short life and needs to be replaced every 6 months.

The ceramic filter element has a long service life, and it is not a problem to replace it once every 5 years.
