6. Carbon filter has approximate life of 25,000 gallons at 7 GPM (gallons per minute) or 420 GPH (gallons
per hour)*. The sediment pre-filter should be cleaned regularly and changed annually. The inlet press
gauge measures house pressure while the outlet gauge measures filter systems pressure. If the outlet
gauge reading climbs 30% above the inlet gauge reading, this indicates the filters are beginning to clog
