Q: When should I replace my Doulton water filter?

A: Based on a family of four, we recommend replacing the filter element every six months.

If you notice that the water flow (the speed of water coming out of the faucet) has dropped before 6 months, remove the filter and clean it with a stiff brush. You can clean the filter as needed without compromising performance.

Q: Can I recycle old ceramic filters?

A: You can recycle the plastic holder and compost the old filter element, or use it to help with drainage from the bottom of the plant pot.
