The Whole Apartment Water Filter System has a low cost sediment cartridge and a more expensive ion-exchange, carbon cartridge. Unlike other systems which can let contaminants through when they are at the end of their useful life. Our Beautiful Water ion-exchange/eco-polymer filter cartridges do not release contaminants when they are full, instead when the cartridge needs replacement, they simply reduce the pressure of the water being delivered. Therefore, rather than replace the cartridge based on a yearly schedule or the volume of water filtered, you can replace the cartridge based on the actual condition of the cartridge, which will be related to the quality of source water used and the volume of water filtered.
You can either purchase a replacement filter OR you can clean and regenerate your original filter - full instructions provided!
