A whole house water filtration system includes one primary and often one or more secondary filters. Over time, the filters will need replacement as the manner of filtering, of catching impurities in the water at the point of entry to the home, become filled up to the point where the taste of the water or the effects of unfiltered water return as they were prior to the use of the filtration system. When this condition is experienced, it is time for replacement whole house water filters.
There are many types of whole house water filter systems in use today. It stands to reason that the filter life expectancy for each filter in a given system will vary as much as they do between filtration systems. Larger sediment and impurities might be trapped by the primary filter in the system while the smaller, even microscopic particles of toxins, chemicals and undesirable organic compounds naturally occurring in water resources and those that are man made byproducts, will fill up the pores or filter membranes associated with secondary filters.
Your water filtration system unit should have come with filter specifications that include longevity and replacement types that are compatible with the system. If you do not have your manual handy, and the company has a web presence, you can look up the specification or call the company for their particular information for replacement whole house water filters.
Alternatively, you can describe, or bring a photo of, your equipment to a home improvement or local plumbing supply store and get customer assistance for the type of system you have and determine whether the store has what you need for your replacement filter needs. If the store does not have what you need, make sure you get a referral to a company that likely will have your replacement whole house water filters.
To add life to your water filtration filters, it is a good practice to conserve water use in the home where possible by all occupants. Before leaving your home on vacation or for another reason for an unusual period of time, do verify that you have no water drips for any faucet to also keep your water filtration from working overtime when unnecessary.
