Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

❓ How often should I replace this filter?

Replacement is recommended every 6-12 months or after filtering 2,500 litres , depending on water quality and usage.

❓ What is the difference between this and a carbon block filter?

The Omnipure Q5640 is a Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) filter , meaning it has loose carbon granules inside. This allows for a higher flow rate and better chlorine, taste, and odour removal . In contrast, carbon block filters are denser , making them better for fine particulate filtration and removing additional contaminants like cysts and VOCs .

❓ Can this filter be used in a reverse osmosis (RO) system?

Yes! This filter can be used as a pre-filter in RO systems to remove chlorine before it reaches the RO membrane, extending the membrane’s lifespan.

❓ Is this filter easy to install and replace?

Absolutely! The Q-Series Quick-Change design allows for a fast, no-mess replacement – simply twist off the old filter and twist in the new one. No tools required!
