contaminants from your tap water and must be replaced at regular intervals. The chart
below gives a general replacement timetable. For more accurate membrane filter
replacement intervals, the system should be tested for TDS by an authorized Nimbus dealer.
Instructions for cartridge replacement can be found in Section 10 of the Installation Guide.
