How often are Reverse Osmosis Filters cartridges to be changed?
Filter
cartridges should be changed between 6 months to once a year depending
on water quality in order to keep the TDS readings down (Total
Dissolved Solids)
Why should I install filters?
Most municipal water systems are chlorinated to kill bacteria and viruses.
However,
the chlorine can form carcinogenic compounds, such as trihalomethanes
and chloroform. Also, this water still has to travel through miles of
pipes before it enters your home. The pipes are usually not clean and
contain heavy metals from solder joints, fixtures, etc. The only way to
ensure that your drinking water is free of contaminants is to filter it
yourself in your home or office.
What are TDS readings?
TDS
readings are the measurements used to determine the total dissolved
solids that are in a drinking water sample. The lower the readings the
fewer particles in the water the purer the water is.
How can I test my reverse osmosis drinking water to make sure it’s working?
Two easiest methods of checking the quality of your reverse osmosis are:
- Bring a water sample to our Aquapura water depot home improvement treatment store
- A
TDS (Total Dissolve Solids) meter can be purchased so you can perform
your own test to assure that your reverse osmosis filters are still
filtering properly.
