- The carbon filter which is used for eliminating odour and chlorine content from the water should also be replaced every 6 months. If the water supply is comparatively clean, the carbon filter can last up to 9 months as well.
- The RO membrane eliminates residual sediments and other dissolved solids from the water filtered by the pre-filter and the carbon filter. The membrane has comparatively longer life and needs to be replaced after 2 years.
