Home Water Filter Maintenance: A Complete Schedule for Australian Households

July 23, 2023 2 min read

A home water filtration system is only as good as its maintenance. Here’s a consolidated schedule covering every system type — so nothing gets missed.

Maintenance Schedule by System

System	Task	Frequency
Water cooler	Replace filter cartridge	6–12 months
Water cooler	Sanitise reservoir	3–6 months
Shower filter	Replace cartridge	6–12 months
Shower filter	Clean filter screen	Monthly
Under-sink filter	Replace cartridge(s)	6–12 months
RO system	Replace pre/post filters	6–12 months
RO system	Replace RO membrane	2–3 years
Whole house filter	Replace sediment cartridge	3–6 months
Whole house filter	Replace carbon cartridge	6–12 months

Key Maintenance Principles

Replace on schedule, not on symptoms. By the time you notice a taste change or pressure drop, the cartridge is well past its service life. Set a calendar reminder when you install a new cartridge.

Hard water areas need more frequent replacement. In Perth and Adelaide, replace cartridges at the shorter end of the range. In Melbourne and Sydney, the longer end is usually fine.

Keep spares on hand. Browse our replacement cartridge range and order your next cartridge when you install the current one.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know when to replace my water filter cartridge?

Replace on schedule (6–12 months depending on system and water hardness) regardless of taste or flow. Don’t wait for symptoms — an exhausted cartridge provides no filtration. Browse our replacement cartridge range.
