Here’s the easiest hack: change your filter on the same day you change your smoke alarm batteries. Daylight Saving Time, perhaps. Twice a year, done.
Or just put a sticky note on your fridge. “Hey, dummy, buy a filter.” You deserve clean water. Your ice deserves to be crystal clear. And your friend Dave deserves to stop smelling wet dog.
Six months. That’s the secret. A tiny cylinder of carbon, quietly saving you from bad water and awkward conversations. Go buy one. Your taste buds will thank you. Probably.
