💧 What Is the Optimum Water Flow Rate?
The optimum flow rate for your shower filter is 0.4 to 0.5 gallons per minute (GPM).
This flow rate ensures that water stays in contact with the filter media long enough to effectively reduce chlorine, sediment, and other impurities. Slower flow = cleaner, purer water.
🔁 How Often Should I Replace My Carico SOFT-N-CLEAN Shower Filter Cartridge?
- You should replace the SOFT-N-CLEAN shower filter cartridge every 2 to 3 years, depending on your water quality and usage.
- In areas with high sediment content, replace the cartridge sooner—particularly when you notice a significant drop in water pressure.

🧼 How Do I Know When It’s Time to Clean My Point-of-Use Counter-Top or Under Counter Water Purification Cartridge?
- When the flow rate of water slows down, it’s a sign that your ceramic cartridge needs cleaning.
- Over time, the fine pores on the surface of the ceramic become clogged with sediment, rust, algae, bacteria, and other contaminants. This restricts water flow and reduces filtration efficiency.
- Cleaning the cartridge removes these blockages and re-opens the pores, restoring proper flow and performance.
Tip: Always follow the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions and use a non-abrasive pad to avoid damaging the ceramic surface.

🔁 How Often Should I Backwash My Carico Whole House Water Treatment & Filtration System?
To maintain peak performance and extend the life of your system, Health Craft recommends backwashing your unit every 6 months.
🛑 Important:
If your local water supply contains a high level of sediment or silt, we recommend backwashing the system every 3 months instead.
Regular backwashing helps flush out accumulated debris, restores flow rate, and keeps your filtration media working effectively.
🧪 When Should I Replace the Media in My Carico Whole House Water Treatment & Filtration System?
