An insight into why Activated Carbon filters & other filters are necessary
and why they require periodic replacement: 

You can see in the diagram above, that the contaminants get adhered to the pores of the carbon. There is a limited capacity of how much the carbon fibre is able to absorb.
Carbon fibre ... 1 gram of it is able to absorb contaminants in the size of a football field.
This sounds all great when we hear that ... but
what happens when the carbon media is exhausted ?
A water filter is a bit like a sponge. As with other sponges, it has a threshold. A limit that should not be surpassed. Meaning, the filter in the filtration system can become very vile in time if it isn’t being taken care of properly. A carbon filter also has a hygenic life, means it may grow mould over time in the cartridge when the filter is installed beyond its use by date.

MOULD IS ONE OF THE WORST THINGS to ingest.

Failing to swap the water filter in time can result in multiple scenarios. The water might just pass unfiltered, which is basically drinking water straight from the tap. Meaning that we then drink the various heavy metals, chlorine, fluoride, chemicals, agri chemicals, micro plastics etc.
Pathogens and impurities have been building up in the pipes and old filter; hence, all of those potentially long term health impacting contaminants are now leaking into the drinking water.
To avoid this, it’s very important to swap filters as soon as the water starts to degrade.
It pays to respect the directions of the manufacturers as they have given those guidances for a good reason, based on their experience and research.
