FAQs

How often do I need to replace the filter cartridge?

Replace the filter cartridge after 6,000 liters or approximately every six months, depending on your water usage.

What kind of impurities does this filter remove?

The filter reduces bad tastes, odors, chlorine, organic chemicals, herbicides, and pesticides. It also incorporates scale-inhibiting media.

Where can I purchase replacement cartridges?

Replacement cartridges can be purchased from B&Q or other retailers that carry the Monarch brand.

Is the system suitable for well water?

While the filter can improve water quality, it's primarily designed for municipal water. For well water, you may need additional filtration.

What is the flow rate of the filter?

The flow rate will vary based on water pressure. Ensure that the flow rate meets your appliance's requirements.

How do I know when to replace the filter?

Monitor your water usage and the taste and clarity of your water. When the taste or flow decreases, or after 6,000 liters, replace the filter.

Troubleshooting

Reduced water flow

Replace the filter cartridge. Check for any kinks in the tubing.

Water tastes or smells unusual

Flush the system by running water through it for a few minutes. If the problem persists, replace the cartridge.

Leaks

Check all connections for tightness. Ensure the tubing is properly inserted into the fittings.
