How much do water filter systems cost?
The cost of water treatment systems varies widely depending on the type, capacity and features. Basic jug or countertop filters start from a more affordable price point, while under-sink and whole-house systems can be more of an investment due to their larger size and more advanced filtration technology. When deciding on a tap water filter system, it’s important to also consider the long-term costs of replacement filters and maintenance. At the same time, remember to factor in the potential cost savings. Plenty of offices and households drinking store-bought water find installing a filter system actually saves money overall! Some people showering in or drinking unfiltered tap water may also find many of their health concerns disappear, saving them from unnecessary medical bills.
How long does a water filter system last?
The lifespan of a water filter system depends on various factors, including the type of system, the quality of the water being filtered, as well as how much water is being used daily. Generally, smaller water filtering systems like jug filters need to be replaced more often, like every few months, while larger systems like whole-house filters can last many years before requiring replacement.
How often do you need to change a water filter?
The frequency of changing a water filter will ultimately depend on a few elements. The type of filter will make a major difference as different types of filters have varying lifespans. Activated carbon filters, for example, typically last somewhere between 2 - 6 months while reverse osmosis membranes can last 1 - 2 years. It’s important to note that the more water you use, the faster the filter will become saturated and need replacement. Similarly, water quality can also contribute to the frequency of water filter replacement. If your water source is contaminated or has high levels of sediment, chemicals or other pollutants, you may need to change the filter more frequently.
As always, it’s recommended that you follow the guidelines provided by the manufacturer of your specific water filter system for optimal performance and replacement schedules. Regular maintenance helps to ensure that your water remains clean and safe to drink.
