Do I need to change the water filter if not used frequently?!
Question: Do I need to change the water filter if not used frequently!?
I have a MultiPure under the sink filter system that had a new filter replaced a year ago!. The filter is supposed to last through about 750 gallons of water (or something around there)!. Either way, I have used it for less than half that amount in the past year!. The manufacturer says to replace the filter yearly, but they are expensive considering I don't use that much filtered water!. (It was installed by the previous owners!.)
Is it still safe to use filtered water through the existing filter until I really need to change it!? Will it cause any harm!?
Thanks for any help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
If you are going to drink the water, either change the filter or remove it!. The gunk accumulated even with low use will sit in the filter and multiply on it's own (if bacteria or virus) and most communities claim drinking water to be healthy!.
I suggest you consider your local water supply, and if you would not drink the water directly from the tap without filtration, then change the filter!.
bottled water is not a great alternative, cost, ecological damage, and no control on water quality!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
