Answer for StillHope, we used the Sterilite brand. They said to replace the sediment every 3 months,the carbon every 6 months, (or maybe it was the other way around)and the UV bulb once a year. The UV bulb has a handy little digital countdown counter on it that starts at 365 and counts down each day to let you know when your year is up. I asked about the filter changing schedule when I picked up the replacement filters, and the "unofficial" answer was, you will know you need to change them when you notice your water pressure dropping, they said it will be very noticeable when it's past time. They are pretty interesting systems,if you've ever peeked in your gutters after a few warm days without rain......yikes!
