With the dramatic increase in single-use water bottles over the last decade, bottled water’s environmental impact is putting a strain on the environment. In Australia alone, 600 million litres of bottled water are purchased every year, generating 60,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions. Reducing the use of single-use plastic water bottles can make a significant difference to the future of our planet. Below are three ways how to reduce plastic bottles so you can do your bit to minimise your bottled water environmental impact.

In order to ensure optimal water quality and performance all filtered drinking water systems require regular maintenance and filter replacements. To the question of how often should your water filters be replaced the answer is: it depends on your usage and situation. Because of this Billi offers a diverse range of care plans and filters to meet our different customers’ needs. Read more to understand how often do water filters need to be changed below.

 

Why is Changing Water Filters Important?

Regular filter replacements are essential for two main reasons:

 

As the filter works, organic matter accumulates, potentially leading to biofilm development. This build-up can compromise your system’s efficiency and the water’s quality.

Factors Determining Filter Change Frequency

So, how often do you change a water filter? The answer isn’t as straightforward as one might think. While a general rule of thumb suggests replacing your cartridge every 12 months, specific conditions might necessitate more frequent changes. If you’re in an area demanding higher filtration levels or if your water usage is substantial, you may need to replace more often. Our filters boast a 30,000-litre capacity (for chlorine reduction), so once this limit is reached, or if the water quality deteriorates, a replacement is due.

 

How Often Do You Need to Change a Water Filter?

Replacing filters is required periodically to maintain the water quality. The question of how often do water filters need to be changed is tricky because time is not an accurate measurement of a filter life rather, capacity is. All Billi filters have a chlorine reduction capacity of about 30,000 litres.

Replacing your filter is easy and can be tailored to your needs. You can have a simple DIY scenario where you can buy Billi filters on our website or at your local supplier, replacing them per our video online. Or we can replace filters for you as part of a Billi Care Plan.
