Clean or replace every 3–6 months, depending on water quality and sediment load.
Clean or replace sooner if:
Noticeable drop in water flow
Visible clogging or heavy discoloration
Rinsing no longer restores performance
While the pleated surface can be lightly rinsed to extend service life, full replacement is still required over time to maintain optimal filtration performance.
