Which filters do I use for my Instapure® faucet system?

Instapure® (R2)Essentials filters are compatible with Instapure® (R5)Complete systems and vice versa. (R8) Ultra filters are not compatible with other units.

Previous years’ models are compatible with the R2 filters:

How often should I change my filter?

Replace filter every 200 gallons, 3 months or if you experience a reduction in water flow¹. (R8 filters should be replaced every 100 gallons, 3 months, or when the indicator light turns red, whichever comes first²). It’s important to change your filter regularly to maintain optimum performance. Users with hard water should increase frequency of filter changes.
¹Filter cartridge life is directly dependent on your local water conditions and frequency of use.
²Do not use with hot water or water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
