Okay, reality check. These systems need love. You’ll have to change sediment filters every few months. The softener needs salt refills. The carbon filter needs replacing every year or so. It’s like having a pet fish—but one that gives you clean water instead of swimming in circles.
But most of it is easy. You can do it yourself in ten minutes. Just set a reminder on your phone. Or name your system “Kevin” and annoy him until he reminds you. Whatever works.
