How to Tell if Your Water Filter Needs Changing
Kowing when to replace your commercial water dispensers filter is essential to maintaining high quality water and keeping the machine running smoothly. The most common sign that you water filter needs changing is if there has been a change in the taste or smell, so if your drink have a stale, metallic or unpleasant flavour then it is likely that your filter is saturated and no longer removing contaminants effectively. Reduced water flow or slower dispensing times can also indicate a blocked filter cartridge that needs attention. Many modern office water dispensers include a built-in filter indicator light; an amber or red light is a direct signal that a replacement is due but even without visible symptoms, most water filters should be replaced every 6 months as part of a regular maintenance schedule – more frequently in high-traffic locations. Staying on top of filter changes protects both the quality of your drinks and the long-term health of your machine.
When you lease an office water dispenser or tap from Connect Vending our team of expert engineers will visit your site at least every 6 months to change the filters on your machines as part of our vending machine services. The service team will notify you when your filters need changing, making the whole process hassle free for you.
