Time to change water filters?

For those of you who use canister filter systems. When do people replace the water filters?

We have a 2 canister filter system. I installed it back March. Starting this past week the water started getting an order and taste. We are FTers. I was hoping the filters would last longer than 6 months.

I don't have a filter system in my camper at all, but I do have a whole house filtration system at home. I do know this, from using filters that attach to the end of your kitchen sink faucet .... especially in the camper ... not all water is the same. You may get only 1 week-end out of a filter, and then you might go for 3 months. When the filter gets dirty, causes water to run slow, or particles get past the filter, it's time to change. If that be 1 weekend or 3 months. The filter is doing its job, and that's what you want.

Snowbirding in Florida, we change once a month or when water pressure starts to drop.

What does everyone do for water filtering, equipment and placement?

I have two Omni Whole House Filter housings. One before the Water Softener with a sediment filter, the second inside the basement with a Carbon Filter, and for drinking water there is another filter in the Fridge. The fridge filter gets replaced based on usage which is approx once a year, the whole house filters get replaced approx every six months.
