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!
