How long does a Billi system last?
There is no exact ‘expiry’ date for the lifespan of any Billi unit. Environmental considerations including water condition and quality as well as usage patterns will define how wear & tear impacts product lifespan.
There are a number of key variables that can contribute to wear & tear and therefore how long your Billi unit will last. If you have (but not limited to);
- Actively changed filters as needed (12 months minimum on residential and 6 months minimum on commercial sites)
- Performed regular servicing, including maintenance as required. Note: This may require replacement or repair of components under normal conditions
- Met the unit’s install & commissioning requirements
- Not exposed the unit to any abnormal operating conditions such as excessive temperature or moisture exposure
- Appropriate specification for site usage, i.e. not under sizing the unit for the demand required
There is no reason why the unit won’t last past 8 years or more.
Why have I been charged for a filter when my unit is under warranty?
Although our units are covered by a warranty period, consumable items are not included to this. This includes any filter/s fitted to our units as the water quality supplied to the unit and subsequently to the filter, is beyond the control of Billi.
Why do I have to change my filter every 6 months if we rarely use our Billi unit?
Good question. Filters can accumulate organic matter via the filtration process, leading to biofilm development. Filters must be replaced every 6 months, dependent on local conditions, whether used frequently or not.
