FAQs

How often should I replace the candle?
Replacement frequency varies with water quality and usage. Many households replace gravity candles every 6–12 months or when flow noticeably slows.

Will it remove all fluoride?
It is designed to reduce fluoride levels. Actual reduction will depend on incoming water chemistry, contact time and maintenance.

Is installation difficult?
It’s a simple swap—unscrew the old candle, seat the new one with the washer, and hand-tighten the nut. Always leak-check and rinse/prime before use.

Can I clean the candle?
Yes. Gently scrub the ceramic exterior under running water to restore flow. Do not use detergents or boil the candle.

Does it fit my filter brand?
Most gravity systems using standard ceramic candles are compatible. Check your system’s specifications or ask us with your model details.
