Water Filtration Cartridges: What You Need to Know

Replacement water filter cartridges are necessary to keep your water filter functioning. Without regular water filter cartridge upkeep, your filtration system eventually will stop working altogether. Manufacturers of these systems typically include guidelines in documentation with the unit, telling you how often you'll need a replacement water filter cartridge. Neglecting to change yours can not only lead to low-quality water in beverages, but it can also encourage mineral buildup that causes equipment malfunction and might even lead to a backup of incoming water.

If you've undertaken the cost of adding a water filtration system to your commercial equipment, you need to be certain to replace the filter cartridge regularly as well – otherwise, you won't receive the benefit you've paid for. Matching the right replacement water filter cartridge to your filtration system is key, as mismatched pieces usually won't work.

Common Questions About Water Filter Cartridges

Are all water filter cartridges the same?

While almost all water filter cartridges work the same, they aren't interchangeable. Especially in commercial uses, water cartridges need to be matched to the system they're made to work with to ensure a proper connection, appropriate flow, and integration with the cleaning and maintenance systems. All the water filtration systems you can find here at KaTom will remove unwanted minerals and contaminants from drinking water, leaving you with clean, pure water to use for ice, drinking water, or in your cooking equipment. Many commercial restaurant equipment manufacturers make their own version of water filtration systems; using the appropriate one for your equipment is the safest and most effective way to go about filtering your water.

How often should I change my water filtration cartridge?

Water filter cartridges will last for certain volumes of water passing through them, rather than for a set period of time. Because of this, there's no set answer for how often you should change your cartridges; they should be changed when you've used them up. Depending on how much you use your water filter, this could be infrequently or it could be a very regular occurrence. Once you've found the water filter cartridge that fits your filtration system, consult the product specifications literature to determine how often you'll need to change it. Some will recommend a time period, which will ensure you get your filter changed often enough, but others will list an amount of water, which is more accurate but harder to keep track of. Some smart machines will notify you when the water filter needs to be changed, which is the easiest option.
