How Often Should You Replace Your Reverse Osmosis Filters?

Reverse osmosis systems are excellent at removing contaminants, but they’re only as effective as the filters inside them. To ensure clean, safe drinking water, you need to follow the right maintenance schedule.

At All Around Water Services, we help Cape Coral and North Fort Myers homeowners stay ahead of filter changes—so your RO system performs like new.

Standard RO Filter Replacement Schedule

Here’s a general guideline to keep your water clean:

• Sediment Filter: Replace every 6–12 months

• Carbon Pre-Filter: Replace every 6–12 months

• RO Membrane: Replace every 2–3 years

• Carbon Post-Filter: Replace every 12 months

• Inline Filters (if applicable): Replace annually

Sticking to this schedule ensures your system continues removing chlorine, lead, bacteria, fluoride, and more.

Signs It’s Time to Replace Filters Sooner

Florida water quality can vary, and usage levels differ. Watch for these warning signs:

• Water tastes flat or off

• Decreased water flow or pressure

• Tank takes too long to refill

• Visible sediment in the water

• Cloudiness or unusual smells

These symptoms mean your filters might be clogged or degraded—and your water isn’t being properly purified.

Why Timely Filter Changes Matter in Florida

Florida’s water often contains:

• High mineral content (hard water)

• Chlorine/chloramine from municipal supplies

• Organic matter and sediment, especially in well water

These elements can shorten your RO system’s lifespan if not managed with proper maintenance.
