My April Air 600 is 12 years old. My water bill increased drastically 3 months. Ago. Easiest rt is to replace it with the newer version?

12 yrs is pretty old for any appliance. I would not think that a humidifier would cause such "drastic" increases in a water bill. However, if there is a malfunction such as a stuck water solenoid it could certainly contribute to that issue. I would also look elsewhere for other causes. You may have a leak in a toilet valve, or even a leaking supply line after the water meter. One way to check is to turn off all of the water use appliances and watch the dials (if you can see them) at the water meter and see if there is movement in the meter dials, and how much. If there is, you can record the changes and call your water utililty and they can advise how much water is actually being lost through the system and advise where to start looking. Some years ago I had high usage and it was traced to a waterline leak under the foundation which had gone unnoticed for some time. Good luck..

First check if water is coming out of drain line of the Aprilair with the furnace off. The only thing that controls the water is the solenoid controlled water valve that opens when the furnace blower comes on. There is really nothing in the Aprilair unit that needs replacing except the aluminum element that corrodes and falls apart. I would not replace the unit. I'd look to see if the valve is leaking. If not you have a different water problem.

I'm sorry but I haven't a clue "today" since it's been awhile. The one I replaced was original equipment installed some 20 years ago. Don't understand why PENTAIR doesn't know the answer to the questions they're asking. If anybody should know shouldn't they? Sorry for not being able to help.

On the old models I changed every 30 days. This one, with filter A, says it will last 3-6 months. I haven't had this one long enough to know for sure.

As long as the old one is 110 volts AC, any intermittent duty water valve will do the job. Both parts look exactly the same, but there may be minor differences that might require a fitting adapter or some modification to the mounting bracket. Any differences in the two should be easy to get around.

You have nothing to worry about with the current, improved version. I talked directly with ThermoWorks about this and learned that they have upgraded the unit's circuitry and are now using a better battery. I have had mine for nearly two years, use it regularly, and have not had to replace the battery yet.

My replacement was made after having a fountain for 8 0r 10 years prior. Have had no problems, with new one as yet.

Sorry I cant answer your specific question but my version broke every three years and always had to be totally replaced. First for about $700, then about $800, and then more the nect time. And it has to be replaced by a certified plumber. Very annoying. Wish I had never started with this thing.

I'm on my second unit in 6 years. I'm afraid they don't last very long. I have somewhat hard water and use the unit about once or twice a day. I haven't been able to find anyone who has replacement parts or offers service. There's not a whole lot inside - just the tank and heating element but the only option I've found is to replace it. Wish they lasted longer.

We had a Honeywell in our previous older house and loved it. I looked online but it doesn't look like they offer that model anymore. The Honeywell we had was purchased and installed in 1995. We have built a new home and installed the Aprilair, because the reviews were great. We don't think the Aprilair filters as well as the old Honeywell we had. I'm not much help, sorry. I will say if you get one that works as well as the old Honeywell we had my answer would be, "Yes, it's worth it!"

I changed out ours....the original was cheap and too narrow a flow. It was easy to change it over to a new one.

Hi Mike,Thank you for your question. I am replying in a few hours after business hours to expedite your request.The owners manual mentions only two maintenance tasks under normal use:1. To properly maintain the water heater, you should clean the air intake filter every 3-4 months.2. Clean the Inlet Water Filter and Recirculation Inlet Filter. However, the manual does not specify a time interval. We at GadgetsGo.com suggest that you check these filters once per year.Kind Regards,Ross KelsonGadgetsGo305-791-1101P.S.

As I recall, replacement is every 3 months or 1500 gallons of water used. At that point the unit beeps each time you turn the unit on. I live alone and don't use that amount, so I just live with the beeping to stretch out the time before replacing.

I recommend the Watts 7-Pack 1-Year RO filter bundle for a five-stage manifold. This will allow you to change out two carbon block and one sediment filter at the six-month mark, and the polish filter annually. The RO membrane should last a good 5 years (depending on your water supply quality) if you are diligent about replacing the carbon block filters--these remove chlorine and/or chloramine in your supply water before it reaches the RO membrane. These chemicals will degrade the RO membrane and shorten its lifespan. Once you do replace the RO membrane, check out the $40 50 GPD model on Amazon; for basically the same money you pay for the 24 GPD membrane that comes standard on these units, you can double your flow rate. http://www.amazon.com/Watts-Filters-Premier-5-Stage-Replacement/dp/B001ACTM1A/ref=sr_1_2?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1378220816&sr=1-2&keywords=watts+premier+filters

I assume it is since it says ZEN water System in the description vs. "FOR Zen Water Systems" as in other "Cheaper Offers" - it is my 1st replacemnet, so in comparison to the 1st one, i can say i've found NO issues

I replace mine about every 6 months. As long as you have a shutoff valve ahead of the filter it's an easy un-screw the old, screw in the new replacement operation. I put a bucket underneath it to catch any water during the replacement (very little spills out.) Takes a couple of minutes at most.

you are suppose to change them out every 330 days If you don't change them. the water flow will go to nothing. because of the cost I would never put one in my house
