Water Filters
How often should I replace my water filter/s?
Typically, a water filter needs to be changed every 6 months or every 12 months, dependent on the manufacturers specification. It is usually listed on product pages and/or product packaging.
What happens if I don't replace my water filter?
An old water filter can slow the flow of water or may even become blocked. Waste and other debris and contaminants that have been collected by the filter can become toxic, so it is important to change filters as directed by the manufacturer; as listed on product pages and/or product packaging.
What is the difference between a Water Filter and a Water Purifier?
Water Purifiers
The EPA has defined pure water as water free from all types of bacteria and viruses. Purifiers remove chlorine, bacteria, virus, fungi and parasites to name a few. Viruses are microorganisms and some are too tiny to be trapped by a filter. Seagull IV purifiers and First Need (Travel) Purifiers use micro straining and electrostatic technology to capture viruses, bacteria and contaminants.
Water Filters
A water filter is designed to remove unwanted particles such as sediment and chemicals but it is not recommended for the removal of bacteria. In Australia practically every municipal system (known as town water) implements water chlorination for this purpose ie. water that reaches a home's plumbing will already have been disinfected through chlorination. Water filters remove the chlorine. Higher quality water filters also remove chlorine resistant parasites like cryptosporidium and giardia.
