If the flow rate is still strong, does that mean I don't need to change them yet?

Can't say specifically, but flow does not necessarily indicate efficacy. I use these in a unit that automatically stops flow after 600 gallons. I know that's difficult to estimate, but a rule of thumb is 6 months for a typical family.

From what I read the flow rate will diminish as the filter ends its life. I also think there is an alarm in the sysyem that warns you that you need a new filter. I haven't changed my filter yet but I bought a replacement so I have it when needed.

Just because you still have a good flow rate does not translate into you don't have to change the filters. It is important to chane them per mfg recommend times as the charcoal looses its ability to do its job with time and use and mold and fungus can be present (not a good thing) Poney up and change them.

Depends on your water unit. Mine automatically stops after a number of gallons have passed through the system.

The best practice is to change it every 8 to 12 months. Even flowing strongly after that time filter could have lost part of its filtering properties.

yes, it's very strong and i have had no problem with the abundant water flow since it was installed.

I just set my Finnex PX-360 up on a 10 gallon tank and I have the canister several feet below the tank. I'm not sure how much it effects the flow rate (it's definitely stronger when it's closer to the water level) but I still get very strong flow (in fact, maybe a little too much for bettas - the only way to change the flow is by raising and lowering the canister, I don't believe there's a pump speed controller.) I have an inline UV sterilizer and it doesn't seem to be detrimental to the flow rate.

No minimum flow necessary. There is a built in trickle gauge so you can monitor all water flow.

you are suppose to change them out every 330 days If you don't change them. the water flow will go to nothing. because of the cost I would never put one in my house

Don't know. Probably the mesh is As fine as it can be to allow adequate flow rate

Your flow rate is too high, it is going to leak if your flow rate is too much

I have no idea which flow rate I have. I love my faucet though. I find that the hand held spray nozzle has more power. Exceptional value.

That is correct. It has a trigger to allow you to stop the flow and restart it as you please. And it can be locked to prevent accidental discharges.

Greetings; As far as I could figure, the flow rate was NOT adjustable at all. Attaching the different little spray nozzles is really the only "adjustment" available on this unit. We enjoyed it and were very disappointed when it didn't even last the summer. Hope you have better luck if you purchase!!

No...it's a steady flow, nonadjustable...but it is nice :) I like it a lot!

I restricted the flow on the 2 pumps I bought, it did not damage them. The pump did not work any less just a slower flow of water.

Trust me, change it every 30 days if you want the water to be fresh. If you forget to change it for 3 months, it will smell funny and won't be filtering properly. If you have ever noticed a water bowl getting a little slippery inside, think of what a filter after 90 days in water would be like. I got rid of my fresh flow because there were too many crevices that I couldn't get clean enough and it wasn't as fresh as changing out the water in a bowl everyday.

I don't know the flow rate but it has a removable water restrictor, so you can set it up accordingly.

While there are no speed settings, you can put a ball valve on the output. Doing this will give you flow control. Never restrict the input.

I don't believe so. Where I used to live the water flow through the filter would reduce greatly after about a month so I would then go ahead and replace. Where I live now the flow is still strong and it's been about two months but I'll probably go ahead and replace it within the next couple weeks.

Yes, you can control both flow rate and temp. caution, these faucet are a little loudwhen turned on but the are beautiful!
