How long it lasts
Replace every 1 months — the appliance's filter light tells you when.
After fitting: The Outlast and HydroSphere filter light resets when you refit the tray; hold the button if it stays on.
Flow slows and taste drops off as the filter fills up. Changing on time is the whole point of the filter.
