A Guide to Water Filter Replacement Cartridges

Conclusion: Water filter replacement cartridges are a crucial part of any water filtration system. Water filter cartridges should be replaced regularly, preferably every 6-12 months, depending on the recommendations from the manufacturer.

If you're like me, you're very particular about the drinking quality of your water. With recent news reports of pharmaceuticals not being filtered out of drinking water supplies, as well as the increase of chlorine in water (used by municipal filtration plants for purification purposes but NOT beneficial for human consumption), having a reliable water filtration system is now more important than ever.

Often overlooked, however, is replacing the water filter cartridges once a filtration system is installed. Admittedly, with the fast-paced nature of my lifestyle, I often forget to replace my filter when required. Yet, regular replacement is crucial to any water filtration system's functionality-like oil changes are crucial for any car.

When looking for replacement options, first look to your filter's manual for manufacturer and model type, then go to the manufacturer's website for information on replacement cartridges.

Also, consult the local hardware stores and the internet search engines for replacement cartridge options. Local small "mom and pop" hardware stores and discount websites often have the best deals. However, be sure to purchase manufacturer approved water filter replacement cartridges to ensure optimal performance of your water purification system.

Alternatively, you might consider water filtration replacement programs, such as those provided by Aquasana. Every six months companies like Aquasana will mail you replacement cartridges automatically, at a reasonable price. I find these programs very helpful, since the correct types of water filter replacement cartridges are sent to my house on a regular and timely basis, which also helps me to remember replacing the cartridges at least twice a year.

When replacing your filter, you may also consider replacing your water filtration system completely, especially if your current system is more than three or four years old. As mentioned, you may opt for a system (like Aquasana's) that sends the filters on a regular basis. Or you may opt for another, newer type of system. Most modern systems nowadays have the latest features as well as improvements to the older features, such as reverse-osmosis filtration.

Whether opting for a water filter cartridge replacement, or a new water filtration system, it is always important to regularly maintain your water filtration system for good overall health and appearance. For more information, please visit my site below.
