How long it lasts
Usually every month. The filter light is a reminder, not a water-quality sensor.
After replacing: The Outlast and HydroSphere filter light resets when you refit the tray; hold the button if it stays on.
Flow slows and taste drops off as the filter fills up. Changing on time is the whole point.
