Hi there,
What should be the whole house filter changing frequency?
I have a 10 micron pleated Polypropylene washable filter followed by 5 micron Polypropylene Sediment filter( non washable) before my softener. I installed these in Nov 2022 and since then I have opened the pleated filter and found iron sludge and small debris looked like iron. Washed it and reinstalled. I am thinking that every 4th month and 8th month to wash the first pleated filter and every 12th month replace both the filters. Does this sound ok?
Another question is that after installation last Nov, I did not open the 5 micro filter at all. It is a non washable but should I still open it and rinse and reinstall ?
But everything depends on replacement frequency. I want to know if my 1 year change frequency is too much or not. Thanks
