We take so many things for granted in our daily lives, and clean, fresh water is often top of that list. We turn on the tap, and it’s just… there. But what happens when the “just there” starts to taste a little off? Or the water pressure dwindles to a trickle?
Often, the solution is simple: the water filter cartridge needs to be changed. And the difference between a neglected cartridge and a fresh one? It can be a revelation.
Let’s be honest, booking in to have your water filter cartridges replaced doesn’t usually sit at the top of the list of priorities. It’s one of those household chores that often gets pushed to the bottom of the to-do list: easily forgotten until it’s too late.
Sean, owner at East Coast Plumbing and Gas, says that’s a common problem,
“We get lots of customers who plan to change their cartridges themselves, but then life gets in the way. Before they know it the filter change is overdue and they’re losing some of the benefits they enjoyed when the system was new. The good news is we can fix it fast, without any hassle, so it doesn’t need to get in the way of your other priorities.”
How long has it really been since you changed your water cartridge? If you’re drawing a blank, you’re probably not alone. And if you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s a pretty good sign your cartridge is overdue for a change:
- The Taste Test Fails: Remember that crisp, clean taste your water used to have? Now it tastes… metallic? Slightly earthy? Or just generally “off”? A stale or unpleasant taste is a classic sign of a filter that’s past its prime.
- Pressure Problems: Is your once-powerful shower now a gentle sprinkle? A clogged filter can significantly restrict water flow, leading to frustratingly low water pressure throughout your home.
- Mysterious Allergies: While it’s not always the cause, some people find that their allergies flare up when their water quality declines. Dust, sediment, and other impurities that a good filter would normally catch can contribute to irritation and allergic reactions.
