RO pre filters include a 5 micron rotation filter that absorbs more significant physical impurities such as dirt, grime, sand, and rust pressure.
The Pre filter is used in the first stage of purification in any RO purifier and it filters the raw tap water before your RO water purifier purifies it. In addition to a load of physical pollution, it similarly increases the life of your water purifier filters (such as sediment filters, pre-activated carbon filters, and RO membranes).
What time best to replace RO pre-filter?
