The chlorine level in The Villages potable water is advertised. Carbon block filters are spec'd to handle a specific amount of chlorine. How much potable water you use is easy to determine from your water bill. The calculation of how often to change the carbon block filter is a simple calculation. 5 years or 10 years between filter changes, unless you use very little water, if almost certainly outside the spec for a 20"x4.5" carbon block filter. However, people are free to do whatever they want, regardless of whether it makes any sense.
