Quick answer
Most CUCKOO water purifiers follow this schedule: sediment filter every 4 months, pre-carbon filter every 8 months and natural and Nano Positive filters every 12 months. On a rental plan a CUCKOO+ technician visits every 4 months and changes them for you.
Why filter changes matter
A filter traps dirt, rust and impurities. Once it is full, water flow drops, taste can change and the filter can no longer protect you properly. Changing filters on time is the single most important part of owning a water purifier.
CUCKOO filter replacement schedule
| Filter | What it does | Replaced every |
|---|---|---|
| Sediment filter | Traps dirt, rust and sand | 4 months |
| Pre-carbon filter | Reduces chlorine taste and odour | 8 months |
| Natural filter | Improves taste | 12 months |
| Nano Positive filter | Final purification stage | 12 months |
Exact filters vary by model; your technician follows the schedule for your machine.

Rental vs outright servicing
On rental, all filter changes and visits are included for the whole plan. Outright buyers currently get a 3-year filter service package, then can renew with a yearly CUCKOO+ Care Service package. Some models such as Titan and Kiut also offer a self-service plan, where filters are delivered every 4 months and you change them yourself with a video guide. Details: CUCKOO+ Care Service.
