Looking after your filter: a two-minute guide

Hands screwing the NERŌ filter onto a kitchen tap

NERŌ is designed to be low-effort — that's the whole point. But a filter does need a little care to keep doing its job. Here's everything you need to know, and none of it takes more than a couple of minutes.

Swapping the cartridge

Each cartridge lasts about three months of typical household use. To replace it, unscrew the filter body, drop in a fresh cartridge, and screw it back on. No tools, no plumber, about thirty seconds.

How to know it's time

Two easy signals: the calendar (roughly every three months), and your own taste. If the taste of chlorine starts creeping back, the cartridge has done its work — swap it. Heavier use shortens its life a little; lighter use stretches it.

A few small habits

  • Run the tap for a few seconds after the filter's been unused for a day or two.
  • Wipe the steel body now and then — it keeps its finish for years.
  • Keep a spare cartridge on hand so you're never caught out. The Year Supply and Refill packs are built for exactly this.

That's genuinely it. A cartridge every few months and the odd wipe, and your tap keeps pouring clean-tasting water for years.

NERŌ is a stainless steel filter that screws onto your kitchen tap.
