The system includes a storage tank and a filter assembly that typically fits in standard kitchen cabinets. You should ensure you have enough clearance for the tank and the vertical space required to easily swap out the filters during future maintenance.

For optimal performance, the three pre-filters should be replaced every 6 to 12 months, while the membrane and the final polishing filter typically last between 2 to 3 years. The exact timeline depends on your local water quality and daily usage volume.
