Not really sure when i should change the filters. Just wanna make sure the water comming out is still good. Can someone pls help?
Thanks in advance.

in reality down on the coast you should be chainging out prefilter more than normal. this is due to the warmer weather and algae content in water supplys. I know in victoria I was changing out my first filter every 3 months during the summer and 4 or 5 months in the winter. I switched my first filter to a 25 to 1 micron absolute filter that I added on and this made my carbon filters last much longer.
if you have had a 0 ppm output for a long time and now your getting one then something has changed, start with your filters as generaly ppm of supply water spikes in the spring not in the fall.
