What Should You Do With Used Filters?

It is no secret: a reverse osmosis system needs a little maintenance, which means replacing the filters from time to time.

A reminder of replacement intervals

- PP sediment filter : this type of filter has an average lifespan of 6 months, but this can range from 3 to 9 months depending on how you use your RO system and the purity of your water.

- Activated carbon filters : these filters, which mainly remove chlorine to protect the RO membrane, have an average lifespan of 1 year. As with the PP filter, this can range from 6 months to 1 and a half years depending on the situation.

- RO membrane : a membrane has an average lifespan of 2 years, but this can vary considerably, from 1 to 5 years depending on the brand, the quality of the water being treated, and the volume of RO water produced. You should check the water's TDS regularly to make sure the membrane remains just as effective.

Recycling RO system filters

The various filters, membranes, and filter cartridges are made from recyclable materials in ISO14001-certified factories (an international environmental standard). However, their role in the RO system is to concentrate all the impurities from various sources captured in your water. As a result, they unfortunately cannot be recycled. We therefore recommend placing them in your non-recyclable waste bin once they reach the end of their lifespan.
