It’s one thing to choose a shower filter, but it’s another to know when to change its cartridge. At PureBlue, we ensure that your showering experience will be as easy as safe and healthy.
Thus, we built a very simple Cartridge Life Guide + Family Size Calculator tool, which lets you determine just how long your PureBlue cartridge lasts according to your daily use.
Cartridge replacement date is one of the various aspects of shower filter selection. PureBlue goes beyond that: We target providing the shower experience as simply, safety-wise, and health-wise as possible.
Thus, we built a very simple Cartridge Life Guide + Family Size Calculator tool to enable you and me to know just how long-lasting our PureBlue cartridge would be when measured against daily usage.
This guide guarantees you always have the finest protection from chlorine, abrasive sediments, and heavy metals found in UAE water regardless if you are a single shower-taker, a family of five, or someone who enjoys long, opulent showers.
Why Replacing Your Cartridge Counts
At the back stage, this PureBlue shower filter really works hard to reduce up to 98% of chlorine, grab impurities, balance out hard water minerals, and protect your hair and skin.
While impurities cause itchiness and sometimes dryness of the skin, an equally important contributor to this could be a poorly maintained Water Purifier:-
- Brittle, dull, frizzy hair
- Scalp irritability or dandruff
- A reappearance of that “hard water feel”
Correct change of cartridge guarantees that you continuously enjoy softened skin, good hair, and irritant-free showers while optimizing filter performance.
Family Size Shower Cartridge Life Estimation
This guide will help you estimate cartridge lifetime based on your family size and showering routine.
1-Person Household
Average: 10–12 minute showers per day.
Cartridge Life: 4 Months
The ideal showering routine for this household is 1 per day.
2-Person Household
Average: 2 showers daily per day.
Cartridge Life: 2.5–3 Months
While regular usage is heavier than average, cartridge replacement is still on the higher side.
3-Person Household
3-4 showers daily
Cartridge Life: 2 to 2.5 Months
Keep in mind families with young kids tend to shower in shorter durations, but at a higher frequency.
4-Person Household
4-5 showers daily
Cartridge Life: 1.5 to 2 Months
Having regular filter replacement is essential for big families in order to prevent chlorine build up.
5- Person Household
Daily usage is heavy.
Cartridge Life: 1 to 1.5 Months
At this point, consider upgrading to a high-capacity, multi-stage system.
Elements That Could Alter the Lifespan of the Cartridge
Different habits, even within the same number of people in the house, will affect the performance of your filter:
1. Long Showers
If the people indulge in long, hot showers (that is 20 plus minutes), your cartridge will last shorter than average.
2. Hard Water Levels
The UAE has the hardest water in the region. Consequently, high sediment levels will quicken the clogging of the filters.
3. Hair-Washing Frequency
If you are the kind that does a hair wash every day, and sometimes uses hair treatments, then the filter will have to work extra hard to eliminate the chemicals and residues.
4. Frequent Guest Visits
Guests will cause more showers to be taken, thus shortening the life of the cartridge. How to
Know When You Need to Change Your Cartridge
Observe the next things:
Skin becomes tight or itchiness occurs right after shower
Hair is coarse, dry or often gets knotted
Showerhead has been cleaned but still less water is coming out
The water has a smell of chlorine
It has been more than 90 days for normal usage
If you observe any of these signs, the replacement of your PureBlue cartridge is due even if you have not yet reached the estimated time.
Final Tip: It Is Better to Replace Early than Late
Timely cartridge replacement ensures clean showers, healthy skin, and great hair every day. The constantly altered water quality and temperature in the UAE might be irritants for the skin, however regular filter replacements will ensure that the skin barrier remains healthy and fresh showering experience is maintained at all times.
