How long do your water filter cartridges last before you change them?
If you buy filter cartridges every month or two, maybe it’s time to switch to a better system with longer-lasting filtration cartridge. How long a filter cartridge last depends on the brand and/or the design of the system.
Water filtering installation types include faucet-mount, pitcher/carafe, counter top, undersink, and whole house systems. Most faucet-mount and pitcher filters come with activated carbon filters that have small surface areas.
