f you’ve made the switch to a filtered shower head, you might be wondering how often you actually need to change the filter.
The simple answer? For your Sia filtered shower head, we recommend changing the filter around every 90 days.
But why every three months? And does everyone need to change theirs at exactly the same time?
Here’s everything you need to know.
Why Does a Shower Filter Need Changing?
Your shower filter is working every time you turn on the shower.
As the water passes through it, the filter helps reduce chlorine and other impurities before the water reaches your hair and skin.
But, just like the filter in a water jug, it won’t keep working at its best forever. The filtration materials inside gradually get used up, which is why the filter needs replacing from time to time.
Changing it regularly simply means you can continue getting the benefits of your filtered shower.
So, Is 90 Days Right for Everyone?
Around 90 days is our recommended guide for Sia filters, but every home is slightly different.
How long your filter lasts can depend on things like:
- How many people use the shower
- How often you shower
- How long your showers are
- The water quality where you live
A shower being used several times a day by a family is naturally going to put more water through the filter than a shower used once a day by one person.
So don't worry if your experience isn't exactly the same as somebody else's.
How Will I Know When It's Time to Change My Filter?
The easiest way is simply to make a note of when you fitted it.
You don't need to wait until something looks dramatically different before replacing it. In fact, it's better not to.
Once your filter reaches the end of its useful life, it may no longer filter as effectively as it did when it was fresh.
So if you suddenly find yourself thinking:
“When did I last change that filter?”
…it might be worth checking! 😊
What Happens If I Forget?
We've all done it.
You replace something, tell yourself you'll remember when it needs changing again and then three months later you have absolutely no idea when you fitted it. 😂
Leaving your shower filter in for longer doesn't mean your shower suddenly stops working. It simply means the filtration materials will eventually become less effective at doing the job they're there to do.
That's why we recommend replacing your Sia filter approximately every three months.
