Hello!
Dr. Dryden’s Activate filter media is built to last longer than traditional sand. In most cases, you can expect it to last around 5–7 years with normal use.
Of course, this can vary a bit depending on things like water quality, usage, and how well the filter is maintained. Regular back washing and proper care will help extend its lifespan.
A few signs it may be time to replace it include:
- Water not staying as clear as usual
- Increased need for chemicals
- Reduced filtration performance
Overall, you should get several good years out of it before needing a replacement.
I hope this help!
