Once installed, the pre-filter cup operates passively as water flows through your main line. The clear housing allows for visual inspection of the filter cartridge, enabling you to monitor its condition and determine when a replacement is needed. A visible accumulation of sediment inside the clear cup or a noticeable drop in water pressure are indicators that the filter cartridge may be nearing the end of its life.

Regular maintenance, primarily filter cartridge replacement, is crucial for optimal performance and longevity of your water filtration system.
5.1 Výměna filtrační patrony
The frequency of filter replacement depends on water quality and usage. Visually inspect the filter through the clear housing. Replace the filter when it appears heavily soiled or when water pressure significantly drops.
