πŸ•“ How Long Does Each AquaTru Filter Last?

The lifespan of an AquaTru filter depends on which filtration machine you’ve purchased from the brand.

There are two different AquaTru filter units, so make sure you pay attention to which system you purchased in what year, so you change your filter cartridges as recommended.

Pre/Carbon Filter (Filters 1 and 2)

If you purchased a filter unit after 6 April, 2018, the pre/carbon filter (i.e. filter 1 and 2) should last approximately 6 months, or after 600 gallons of use.

If your filter unit was purchased before this date, you should replace your pre/carbon filter after approximately 1200 gallons of use, or 1 year. To maintain a high level of performance, you should change the pre/ carbon filter at the same time as the reverse osmosis filter.

VOC Filter

For filter units purchased before 6 April, 2018, the VOC filter will need to be changed after 1 approximately 1 year or 600 gallons.

If you bought your filtration system after 6 April, 2018, you’re advised to change the VOC filter after 600 gallons.

Reverse Osmosis Filter

The reverse osmosis filter in a unit purchased before 6, April, 2018, needs to be changed once it has operated for approximately 2 years or 1200 gallons.

In AquaTru filter units purchased after this time, the reverse osmosis filter is again designed to last a long time, and will need changing after approximately 1200 gallons.

πŸ“… How to Know When to Replace AquaTru Filters?

No matter when you purchased an AquaTru filter system, you won’t have to worry about remembering to replace the filters, as the system will alert you when it’s time.

πŸ’΅ How Much Do AquaTru Replacement Filters Cost?

The exact price of filter replacements depends on where you look online.

You can buy the carbon filter/ pre-filter for around $20 on its own.

The reverse osmosis filter, lasting for 1200 gallons, costs around $50 on its own.

The VOC filter, lasting 600 gallons, is available for just under $30.
