How Long Does a Reverse Osmosis Water Filter Last?

The Lifespan of RO Water Filters

Reverse osmosis systems usually have 3 or 4 filters with a typical lifespan of between 2 and 5 years, depending on the nature of the water they're filtering. The longevity of these filters also depends on their usage factors—for example, a larger household may need to change the filters more often than a small one-bedroom apartment.

In addition to replacing the filters when necessary, your reverse osmosis system must also be regularly maintained and cleaned every 1 to 2 years. With proper maintenance, RO systems typically last between 10 and 15 years, efficiently purifying your drinking water.

Enjoy the Benefits of RO Water the Right Way

To ensure your RO water stays clean and healthy, it's crucial to pay attention to the maintenance of your RO filters and replace them regularly. Another thing to pay attention to if you want to reap the health benefits of RO water is that this filtering process removes all the essential minerals from tap water, even those your drinking water should have. The best way to rectify this and get back the minerals your body needs is by using a solution like Mayu's Essential Mineral Drops.
