How do I know if my Aqua Classic RO filters need replacing?
Determining when to replace the filters in your Aqua Classic RO system is crucial for maintaining optimal water quality. Typically, noticeable changes in the taste or odor of the water, or a decrease in water flow can be indicators that the filters need replacement. It's also advisable to adhere to Aqua Classic's recommended replacement schedule, as prolonged usage can compromise filtration efficiency. Regularly checking and documenting the system's performance and being proactive about maintenance can ensure that the Aqua Classic RO system consistently provides filtered, fresh drinking water.
