Introduction

Use this guide to replace the old cartridge in the shower filter connected to the DELTA FAUCET RP38257 showered. Showerheads can be matched with a variety of cartridges, and the cartridge brand replaced in this guide is Luxau 15-Stage Shower Filter.

It is crucial to change your shower cartridge in a timely manner. If the cartridge is not changed regularly, it will gradually become saturated, leading to a drop in water quality, reduced water pressure, and possibly even damage to the shower head. In addition, not changing the cartridge for an extended period may also cause health problems, as contaminants and microorganisms in the water may be trapped in the shower head.

Typically, shower filter cartridges may need to be replaced every three to six months, but the exact timing may vary. It's a good idea to check the condition of the cartridge regularly and replace it if you notice that it has become dirty or clogged to ensure that your shower is working properly and providing a clean stream of water.

Follow this guide, and you can change the filter yourself at home.

If the replacement shower connection leaks after the cartridge has been replaced, check that the clear adhesive ring in the filter is properly seated in the groove, and make sure the connection is taped and tightened with a wrench."
