After about 7 Months from last install I started noticing a difference in water taste so I decided to change out the cartridges in the Pre filter, and the final carbon filter.
For the pre-filter I use a 2.5x10 15 um string wound cartridge.
I dried the filter for about a week in a paperbag, and compared it to a new one.
I tared the scale so it did the math for me, but this filter has just under half a pound of sediment in it.
One of the things I like about a string wound filter is the ability to see how much of it was consumed by inspecting the ends, and it looks like I was on the very last wind.
This filter did get some duty for irrigation prior to the stream based watering system installation which took some of its life for sure, so perhaps the next one will last a bit longer, but I really cant complain about the job it did for a sub 10 dollar filter.
