Frequently asked questions
Q: Why doesn't the TDS value lower after filtration?
A: The main purpose of this Waterdrop filter is not to remove TDS. TDS stands for total dissolved solids, and it is basically composed of inorganic salts and a small amount of organic matter. The filter can remove harmful substances while keeping beneficial trace elements. Please choose Waterdrop RO system if you are looking for physical removal of TDS.
Q: When should I replace the filter?
A: The filter's service life is related to the water quality. If the flow rate is significantly reduced or if the water has a peculiar smell, we suggest that you replace the filter. The recommended service life of the filter is as follows: 1 year for WD-RF10, WD-RF10-UF, WD-RF10-MZ and WD-RF10-AK, 2 years for WD-RF15, WD-RF15-UF, WD-RF15-MZ and WD-RF15-AK, 3 years for WD-RF17, WD-RF17-UF, WD-RF17-MZ and WD-RF17-AK.
Q: Why does my water taste bad?
A: The filter will produce unpleasant odor if it hasn't been used for a long time, especially for WD-RF10-UF, WD-RF15-UF, and WD-RF17-UF. If such a problem occurs, please flush the filter for 5 minutes before use. It could also be time to change the filter cartridge.
