Best Answer

As the filter clears the water, microscopic particles attach to the filter. Since these particles slow the flow of the water, the pressure increases. This indicates it's time to clean your filter. Most filters need cleaning 2-3 times a year. If your pressure increases more than 2-3 times a year, it may be time to replace your filters.
