Water filtration system maintenance should match the filter type: plan quick monthly checks and replace or service elements on the schedule your system calls for. The most common driver is buildup from sediment, chlorine, or hardness that restricts flow or brings back taste and odor.
In the Oviedo area, local water quality and how much water your family uses can shorten or extend these timelines. If you prefer reminders, our maintenance agreements include a plumbing inspection.
For common systems, typical intervals are:
- Sediment pre-filters: inspect monthly; replace every 3–6 months or when pressure drops.
- Carbon filters: replace about every 6–12 months if taste or odor returns.
- Reverse osmosis or UV: RO pre/post 6–12 months, membrane 2–3 years; UV lamp yearly.
- Whole-house media or softeners: media 3–5 years; check softener salt monthly.
Always follow your system’s manual and schedule service if flow slows, water quality changes, or you see leaks.
