Most filters come with a sticker that says “change every 2 months” or “60 days.” Yeah, I know, who reads the manual? That sticker is actually your best friend. Think of it like a carton of milk—you wouldn’t drink it two weeks past the expiration date, right? Same logic applies to your water filter.
If you tossed the manual, don’t panic. A good rule of thumb is to set a reminder every three months. That’s the sweet spot for most standard pitcher filters. Fancy under-sink systems? Usually every six months. But hey, your water might be begging for a change way before the calendar says so.
