Irvine Housing Forums | PUR water filter
I have PUR faucet mount water filter.They have an exellent record of not last more than 6-9 months .For some strange reason it develops cracks on the black thing that attches to the water faucet .As a reason water starts to spray all over each time you turn the faucet.
Has anyone experienced the same ?Are there better faucet mount filters there?
BTW I have been using them for last 10 years .Water quality is great but this issue is very annoying .So far wasted ton of money buying them atleast 10-15 times .I buy the unit to use the cartriges I buy from costo.
This applies to carbon filters like the Brita filter I use. I’m not sure if a small household RO system requires a change-out. The large industrial-size RO units actually flush 15-50 percent of the water out to a drain and that keeps the filter membrane clean. Those filters last for several years before they need to be replaced. But if your household unit (no matter what the technology) doesn’t have somewhere for the bad stuff to go, that stuff HAS to accumulate in the filter, so replace it per manufacturer’s instruction.
