Carbon Pre-Filter & Claryum® Post-Filter - Change every 6 months* The carbon and Claryum filter cartridges are replaceable activated carbon cartridges located in stages 1 and 3. It is recommended replacing these cartridges at least every 6 months. You may need to replace more often with high water usage or high sediment level. Replacing these cartridges timely will protect the RO membrane from high levels of chlorine and/or sediment.
