Why Does Filtration Capacity Vary?
The stated filtration capacity represents the maximum potential performance under optimal conditions. However, actual results may vary based on several factors, including water quality, sediment levels, and system flow rate. High sediment content, hard water, and increased water consumption can shorten a filter’s lifespan. To maintain optimal performance, regular monitoring and timely replacement are recommended.
