    If you’ve got a reverse osmosis system (RO) in your home, but don’t remember when the last time you changed your filters, then it’s probably safe to assume that it’s time to do so. Many RO brands recommend replacing the pre and post-filters every 6 months and the membrane every 12 months. But let’s be honest, not everyone does it exactly at those intervals.

    Filtered Drinking Water For Apartments

    I’m sure you’re wondering how effective is this filter? Let’s start with the fact the carbon filter inside is rated at 0.5-microns. To paint a picture in your mind, the average human hair is 150-microns. Lint, particles that are visible to the naked eye measure at 25-microns.  If we go even smaller, let’s say between 1-5-microns, then you can expect bacteria, dust, and animal dander to fall within that size range. So that means, there are a lot of contaminants that won’t get through this filter.
