When to change your cartridges isnt the same for everyone even if your within the same city as pipes, water substations, and other variables play a huge role in when to do so. This is because when the city add extra things in the substations such as chloramines or ammonia in one area due to low levels of dissenfectant in the water, it doesnt effect all the others unless they shoot it through the entire system. Some people get higher concentrations of sediment in their water than others due to possible water pipe bust or simply bad piping within the area. Changing your cartridges with color changing resins and having an in-line TDS meter will help by letting you know when it is time. Always have spare cartridges in the event that one or all need to be replaced at any given moment. Ideally you should change it out once every 6 months regardless of where it stands. I have a 200 gpd unit and recently purchased an 800 gpd unit which I returned due to a defect. The 200 gpd I have to change out around 60 days. Thats of course I am also making up about 100 gallons of water every other day as well. Once I get the 800 gpd unit back, I am sure I wont have to change that one out as often....hopefully.
