While the water filter in your purification system should be changed every three to six months, homeowners should also consider replacing the entire system, including the tank, every three to ten years. How can you tell if a repair won't suffice?
Here are signs that indicate your system is beyond repair and needs replacement:
- You replace the filter regularly but the water still tastes odd or looks discolored.
- A water test shows bacteria or other biological contaminants.
- Mineral deposits accumulate on faucets and sinks.
- There is visible rust or damage on tank components.
