Keep Your Water Clean – Don’t Forget Your Filter Cartridge Replacement
Fact: Your water filter is only as good as the cartridge inside it. As they are supposed to, over time, those cartridges collect everything you don’t want to be drinking, such as sediment, chlorine, heavy metals, bacteria, microplastics and more. But here’s the thing -if you don’t replace the filter cartridge on time, they stop working as they should….and you could end up with water that’s worse than before.
As your local water filter plumber, at ABA Plumbing & Gas, we offer expert water filter cartridge replacement services to residences and commercial buildings throughout Adelaide. We will ensure that your water remains safe, clean and great-tasting. Whether you have a whole-house system or just one under-sink unit, we can expertly replace the filter cartridge for any big or small system.

Why Cartridge Replacement Matters
It’s easy to forget about the filter cartridge quietly doing its job beneath the sink or out in the laundry, but just like any part of your plumbing system, it needs routine care. If you ignore the cartridge and do not replace it for too long, this is what happens to the quality of your water:
- The filter clogs up, restricting water flow and pressure
- Contaminants slip through, defeating the purpose of having a filter
- Bacteria builds up, which can pose health risks to your family
- Appliances can suffer, especially if your system treats all household water
Fresh cartridges mean your filter is doing the job it was built for—removing harmful substances and delivering clean water to every tap.
How Often Should You Replace Your Water Filter Cartridge?
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all, universal solution. Your household’s water usage, the kind of filtration system you have, and your water source (tank or mains) affects this decision. However, generally speaking:
- Replace the under-sink filters every six to twelve months.
- Whole-house filters are typically changed every six months.
- Reverse osmosis membranes every 2-3 years (more frequently for pre/post filters)
It might be time for a replacement if your water suddenly tastes or smells different, or the pressure decreases. We can evaluate your system and provide you with a precise schedule.

FAQs
How often should I replace my water filter cartridge?
Most cartridges need replacing about once a year, but it can vary depending on your system and how much water you are using. If your water starts tasting or smelling a bit off, that is usually a sign it’s time for a change.
What happens if I forget to replace the cartridge on time?
The filter will stop doing its job properly. Contaminants can sneak through and you will likely notice a drop in water quality. It’s one of those things that is easy to overlook – until you notice the difference.
Can I replace the water filter cartridge myself, or do I need a plumber?
While some people do it themselves, we highly recommend leaving it to a licensed plumber. Our skilled water filter plumbers at ABA Plumbing & Gas will make sure it’s fitted correctly, sealed properly and that everything’s running the way it should. No leaks, no fuss.
Are all replacement cartridges the same, or do I need a specific brand?
They are definitely not all the same. Many filter systems require a specific cartridge type or brand to work properly. If you are unsure, our licensed and highly trained water filter plumbers can help you find the right one and handle the replacement so your system stays in top shape.
What are the signs that my water filter needs replacing sooner?
If your water starts to taste metallic, has an odd smell or a slower-than-usual flow, your filter is likely clogged or worn out. It is important to pay attention to these early warning signs. As Adelaide’s local water filter plumbing expert, we recommend that it’s better to replace the cartridge sooner than wait for a bigger problem.
