The lifespan of a cartridge depends on water quality and usage. Typically, they can last many years, but replacement is necessary when performance issues arise.

Ensure the cartridge is correctly installed and aligned. Check for any debris obstructing the cartridge. If problems persist, the cartridge may need replacement.

Check if the cartridge is clogged with sediment. Ensure the water supply valves are fully open. Clean any aerators or showerheads that might be restricted.

Verify that the cartridge is seated correctly and the retaining clip or nut is secure. The valve body seals may also require inspection or replacement.
