PROGRAMMING: DIP SET-UP FILTER REPLACEMENT TIMING Filters should be configured to optimize your system. Filters need to be configured and specified to do the job given the local water conditions, usage, maintenance schedule, and placement restrictions. In order for our filters to perform as represented and to provide the best quality water possible, it is essential that filters be replaced periodically.
