That filter is a hard worker. It strips out lead, chlorine, and even weird stuff like pharmaceuticals. But it gets clogged. Think of it like a coffee filter after a thousand cups. Gross, right?
Here’s a quirky fact: your RO system actually rejects more water than it makes. For every gallon of pure water, it dumps 3-4 gallons down the drain. It’s a thirsty machine. But hey, that’s how it gets you the cleanest sips on the block.
If you’ve never replaced the filters, you’re basically drinking from a museum. Old filters can grow bacteria. Yuck. Don’t be that person who serves guests “vintage” water.
