Water filters work by removing sediments and any contaminants that exist in drinking water.
A 3-stage water filter will have 3 filter cartridges which remove different contaminants at each stage. (Click here for more details.) Generally, as water flows through the water filters, the cartridges will slowly get clogged, resulting in reduced water flow. In addition, the carbon filter will become less effective in removing chemicals such as chlorine from the water after extended use. This will be noticeable by a change in the taste and smell of the water.
What happens when filters are not replaced on time?
| Less Effective – | Notice changes in taste and odour of filtered water. |
| Reduced water flow – | Filters become clogged over time, restricting water flow and pressure. |
| TDS level rises – | For Reverse Osmosis systems. |
After extended use the filter cartridge has become blackened from the build-up of sediment and contaminants.
The recommended time intervals to replace filter cartridges in a 3 stage EZEK water filter are shown in the table below:
Average for a family of four
