Each water supply is different, but in general how often does the filter need to be replaced vs. regular cleaning?

Reg cleaning is all that is needed. Does not need replacement if you buy stainless steel filter

Mine goes about a week, so I clean it and replace the water on weekends. The water is always clean when I change it. I use Brita water to fill it up. I have one, small cat, and I see him use it frequently.

They recommend that you replace the filters every 30 days. I think with only 2 cats you could probably get along with every 60 days. I will say that this is the easiest fountain I have ever had to clean.

Membrane every 2 years. Filters need to be changed more often--according to the amount of use.

Depends on use. I replace mine every 6 months. But I also keep my hot tub very clean and wash filter every month.

If you mean totally clean it out, I would say it depends on your water. I clean my every month and rinse my filter once a week. (At least I TRY to clean the filter once a week.)

I haven't owned this unit for very long, but according to the manual, other than changing the filter, stones and a simple cleaning the ceramic filter, that is the only maintenance required. Also, although I have had problems with algae growing in other water filtering units, this one is not in light very much due to its location and the fact that I live in AK and have only owned it during the dark months so far.

The manufacture recommends replacing the filter every 6 months period. Personally, I replace the filter every 3 to 4 months. For your information, most water filter manufacturers including 3M recommends replacing filter every 3 months.

Good question, doesn't seem to have a standard and it would really depend on the water you use. I would replace it whenever it looks dirty. Check monthly or less often if you are using filtered water.

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 Kelson GadgetsGo 305-791-1101 P.S. Mike if you have found my answers helpful, please prefer us when you purchase.

I have only had mine 6 months, but after reading a lot online the recommended is once a year. Also if the water slows going through filter scrubbing with a soft scouring pad will help, but so far I haven't had to do that.

It depends on your use but I try to change once a year. I have gone much longer though and have not noticed any degradation in the taste of the water. The filters really make a difference.

I just last December replaced the filter that I had been using since May. The builder told me I would know because the water would come out more slowly, but that never happened. So I went with the manufacturer's suggestion that the filter be replaced every 6 months.

You probably need to clean the filter every week until it seems cleaner. It is never completely cleaned but you can see through the water. Hope that helps.

I would clean and do a full water change once a week. The filters are easy to find on amazon for cheap too and should be changed out every 6 weeks or so. Other than full water change and just wiping down with a paper towel, it's a pretty low maintenance tank.

and usage...if you run it 24/7. I would change every three or four months. Some folks just vacuum the filters. I'm goona try it.)

I would think changing it would not be an issue for quite a while. I only use it once per month. The current filter should stay good for a long time at that usage rate. When the time comes, I will rinse the filter and put back in for as long as I can.
