how often do you change your sediment/ DI filters excluding the Reverse Osmosis filter?

thanks

every 6 months, sooner if you have dirty water. usually you can tell by looking at it and seeing how dirty it is.

Carbon and sediment filters every six months. DI when TDS (total dissolved solids) measures over 5ppm.

YMMV ,

It heavily depends on your source water. The crap in, the more often you have to change them. Like Agu mentioned, a good TDS meter on the output will tell all.
