Generally, most water filters will need to have their carbon and sediment filters replaced after 6 to 8 months but this differs for different brands. However, if you are not sure when to change your filters, most brands will have a filter change alarm that alerts you.
Carbon filters
These play a crucial role in removing unwanted chemicals such as chlorine and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). They also remove odours and bad taste making your water taste better. When buying a replacement, it is important to check for compatibility. Even so, most brands have replacements available for their products.
Sediment filters
A sediment filter removes dirt, silt and dust from the water. This helps remove cloudiness from water. Nonetheless, this doesn't remove any heavy metals or taste from the water and therefore works best as prefilters. Sediment filters should be replaced lest raw dirt begins to contaminate your drinking water.
Water filter bottles
This is an ideal accessory for any outdoor enthusiast. The bottle contains an advanced filtration system that removes chemicals, bacteria, odour, and improves taste. After refilling the bottle with water from the lake or river, it becomes ready to drink. While some brands have stainless steel bottles, a number have introduced collapsible bottles that are easy to pack in tight spaces.
