Replacement schedule for G3-N3CB / WD-G3-N3CB

Up to 12 months or 1,100 gallons, depending on water quality and use. Treat this only as general product guidance and follow the system manual. Water quality, usage, pressure, and sediment can change actual filter life.

Reverse-osmosis stages often expire on different schedules. Replacing this item does not necessarily mean the membrane, pre-filters, and post-filter are all due at the same time.

How to avoid ordering the wrong filter

• Confirm the system label includes the complete model, including every dash and suffix.
• Compare the installed part number with G3-N3CB / WD-G3-N3CB.
• Confirm the stage, membrane capacity, and connection style.
• Do not rely on cartridge color, dimensions, or product photography alone.

This is the activated-carbon stage for the listed G3-series systems. It does not replace the composite pre-filter or RO membrane, which use separate cartridges and schedules.

After installing the replacement

Follow the system manual, restore the water supply slowly, inspect every connection for leaks, and flush the new filter using the manufacturer’s specified volume before drinking the water.

If flow remains low, water tastes unusual, or a leak appears, shut off the supply and recheck the cartridge alignment, seals, tubing, and complete part number. Seek qualified help when needed.
