Replace these filter cartridges once a year.

I have this under my kitchen sink. My city has clean water, not contaminated by industrial or agricultural chemicals, but there is a lot of chlorine in the water that makes it taste bad. I have this filter on the cold water line under the kitchen sink, so when I make fizzy water or coffee or tea it tastes good. I try to use the hot water tap for everything else to spare the filter and make it last a little longer, but it still needs to be replaced around every 7 months. I know it needs replacing when the water starts tasting like chlorine again.
