Post-filter role
A post-filter is commonly installed after RO storage and before the drinking water reaches the faucet.
The post-filter supports better taste and odor without making broad health promises.
Post-filter type and installation details vary by system, faucet, tank, and previous service history.
Many post-filters are commonly changed around every 12 months as part of regular RO filter service.
