Water filters: 5 Signs that should be changed

       A water filter is a piece of equipment in a water purifier that removes impurities and contaminants from water, making it safe for consumption, cooking, and other household use. Ceramic filters and UV filters are each designed to remove certain impurities from the water.

 

       With prolonged use, the water filter may become clogged with sediment, invisible debris that comes with the water, and contaminants, reducing the efficiency of the water purifier and may cause health problems. so It is important to know when to change the water filter to ensure that the water we use remains clean and safe for consumption.

 

       The frequency of filter replacement depends on factors such as filter type, level of use, and quality of tap water.

2. Water pressure drop: Another sign that the filter needs to be replaced is a drop in water pressure, which can be caused by a clogged filter or the accumulation of sediment or debris in the filter, which limits the flow of water.

 

3. Changes in color or clarity of water: A change in the colour or clarity of the water is another sign of the need to replace the filter, which can be caused by the accumulation of impurities in the filter, which causes the water to become turbid or change in colour.

 

4. Sediment or debris visible in water: If you notice sediment or debris visible in the water, it is time to replace the filter, This may be caused by the accumulation of sediment or debris in the filter, which prevents the filter from effectively removing contaminants from the water.
