This is a .2 micron ceramic and carbon filter. Most bacteria's size is between 0.5 and 1.0 microns in size.
Ceramic filters typically last from 1-2 years depending on water quality and number of gallons filtered.
Residue will eventually build up on the surface of the ceramic filter and slow down the filtration process.
To clean filter wipe gently with a dedicated, clean, non-abrasive sponge or cloth.
IMPORTANT Note: Do not use cleaning products on the ceramic filter. The porous nature of the ceramic filter will absorb odors and flavors from chemicals, etc.
