Water Filter FAQ

When should I replace my water filter?

Manufacturers recommend that you change your filter every six months with regular water usage. If you use your water dispenser more than average or have poor water conditions due to your location, it may need to be changed more frequently.

For more detailed information on when to change your filter please visit our FAQ page:

Maintenance & Care

Why is it important to change my water filter?

Failure to change your filter at least every six months will allow contaminants to overfill your filter, causing it to leak these potentially toxic chemicals back into your drinking water. With an outdated filter, your water may even contain more pollutants than unfiltered water. Changing your filter infrequently can also reduce the water pressure in the filtering system and can lead to a buildup of lime scale which can wreak havoc on your appliance. Not to mention, an expired filter could cause a change in taste and odor.
