If you notice low water pressure in your home, one of the first things you should check is your in-line water filter. A dirty or clogged filter can restrict water flow throughout the whole house and make it seem like you have a bigger plumbing issue when sometimes it’s just overdue for maintenance.
A few quick tips for maintaining your in-line water filter:
• Check filters every 1 to 3 months depending on water quality and usage
• Replace disposable filters on the manufacturer’s schedule
• If you have a reusable screen filter, clean it regularly to prevent buildup
• Sudden drops in pressure are often a sign the filter is clogged
• Homes on well water may need more frequent checks because of sediment
• After replacing or cleaning a filter, flush water through the system before normal use
A simple filter check can save you from unnecessary plumbing calls and help keep your water pressure where it should be.
