How long it lasts
Usually every 6 months. The filter light is a reminder, not a water-quality sensor.
After replacing: Press and hold 'Reset Water Filter' for 3 seconds; a tone sounds when reset (Westinghouse WHE6874/WHE7074 user manual).
Flow slows and taste drops off as the filter fills up. Changing on time is the whole point.
