We have an under-sink RO system but it's absolutely under-utilized (probably less than 50% of its capacity).

It's now 6 months after the installation. Should I get new filters right away or can I wait for a couple more months?

Many thanks!!!

They can last up to 1 year depending on water quailty.

Thanks!

We have city water and a water softener. Maybe I can wait for another 3-4 months.

I would let them go for a year. Sounds to me you aren't using the RO very much.
