How often should the filter element of a direct water dispenser be replaced?

The use time of the filter element of the direct water dispenser depends on the type of filter element and the water quality. Generally speaking, the life of the filter element is between 3 months and 6 months.

First of all, the type of filter element is one of the important factors affecting the replacement time. Currently, common filter elements on the market include particulate activated carbon filter elements, pre-filters, reverse osmosis filter elements, etc. Different types of filter elements have different filtering functions and applicable water quality ranges. The filtering effect of some filter elements will decrease with the increase of use time, so they need to be replaced regularly to ensure the safety of water quality and good taste.

Secondly, the water quality is also an important factor in determining the filter element replacement time. The water quality varies greatly in different regions. Water sources in some areas may contain more pollutants such as heavy metals and organic matter, which causes a large loss to the filter element. In this case, the frequency of replacing the filter element may increase significantly.

Of course, if the frequency of direct drinking fountains is high, the time to replace the filter element will be shortened accordingly.

In order to ensure the normal operation of the drinking water dispenser and the safety of water quality, we need to judge the replacement time of the filter element based on the above factors. Generally speaking, you can judge whether the filter element needs to be replaced through the following aspects:

1. Filter element usage time. If the use time exceeds the life range of the filter element, a new filter element needs to be replaced. You can refer to the instructions for use or the relevant product introduction to understand the normal service life of the filter element.

2. Appearance of the filter element. If obvious scale, stains, etc. are found on the surface of the filter element, it may be that the filter element has reached the time for replacement.

3. Water quality testing. Regularly test water quality to understand changes in water quality. If the water quality is found to have dropped significantly, it may be that the filtering capacity of the filter element has decreased and a new filter element needs to be replaced.

4. The taste changes. If water smell changes, odors or obvious impurities are found during use, it may be that the filter element is ready for replacement.

5. Water flow decreases. If the water flow is found to have decreased significantly, it may be that the filter element has been blocked and a new filter element needs to be replaced.

It should be noted that the above are just some common judgment methods, and the replacement time of the filter element still needs to be determined according to specific circumstances. When using a direct water dispenser, the service life of the filter element can be comprehensively judged based on the above indicators to ensure that the direct water dispenser can continue to provide high-quality water sources. In addition, when replacing the filter element, you should also pay attention to selecting the filter element that suits your own model of drinking water dispenser and replacing it according to the correct operating method to ensure the effective service life of the filter element.
