Filters filter out or trap the **** we should drink including bugs or molds algae etc and holds them.
After a season throw it out even if it still flows good.IMO
Some filters have silver in the carbon block and it kills bugs so about keeping it more than one year need to ask some but not mfg ho of course wants you to replace it often. Ceramic filters less than one micron or i/2 micron hold most bugs and algae etc on the surface and they come with a cleaning pad and instructions. However the ones I have have a carbon block inside the ceramic tube.
So? Best is to replace when they don't flow good, of course then annually even if they still flow and water seems good?
