When should I replace my Hydroviv filter?Updated 43 minutes ago

In general, you should replace the filter in your Hydroviv system once every six months. This is true for our drinking water filters as well as our shower filters.

Our Under Sink Filter and Fridge/Ice Maker Filter are designed to filter up to 720 gallons of water, and our Filtered Showerhead and In-Line Shower Filter 2.0 are designed to filter up to 10,000 gallons of water. This equates to about six months of use in the average household.

The lifespan of Hydroviv filter cartridges is influenced by the level of contaminants and particulates in your water. So, if you live in a particularly chlorine- or lead-rich area, you may need to replace your filter more often. Likewise, if you have a big family or love long showers, you may run through 720/10,000 gallons faster than the average household.

You'll know it's time to replace the filter when you notice a decrease in the flow rate, which indicates the filter is saturated.
