for how long or how many times should it be used without changing the filter and how to change 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.

Honestly it seems like every time you use it the filter gathers dust and you just wipe it off with your hand *Think lint brush here*.As soon as it's clean you're done. in terms of replacing it. Hmmm who knows...seems like it should hold up for quite a long time. If not you can replace it for like $5 on their website or make your own.

The filter is on the bottom of the unit and can be replaced with just your hands. The filter is a simple pinch and pull it out of the bottom and to replace push in the new one. I don't know how often the filter needs replaced but I use it monthly minimum since Aug 2013 and the filter is still fine.

It is subjective. If you use it in an enclose area definately the grey sponge filter at the bottom will be very dirty. To clean the filter you just need to wash it with water and hang dry. Unless the filter is damage else you should be able to use the duster for a few years or until the sponge material wear and tear.

You can pull the filter out as many times as you want it's just a little sponge that you pull out from the bottom But I would say it can vary with how much use you put in to it before it needs to be cleaned

I believe it depends on how many fish you have and how quickly the tank get dirty. Personally i just change it once a month to be safe.I have a 55 gallon tank with some tetras, two angel fish, two pelcos, and a albino corry(Total: 9 fish). I only change once a month, even when i had 13 fish i still changed the filter once a month.I never had any issues with the fish and my water always passed the weekly tests.

I would say it depends on the conditions at your home. We live up in the mountains where it is very dusty, so we check it at least once a month. We'll change it based on the amount of dust on the filter paper. We can generally go a couple of months before having to change it out.

The manufacturer will always lure you to change you filter media regularly/monthly to insure good business. What i do is clean each one 2-3 weeks depending on how dirty the filter is. I clean it under high pressured water. Don't change it unless it no longer capable of filtering. You can see/ base it in your water clarity.

I generally change mine every 3-5 years, but it all depends on the level of pre-filtration, the level of chlorine passing through the membrane, the temperature of the water. I use a .5 or 1 Micron Carbon Block pre-filter and change it every 6 months. TFC Membranes have a very low tolerance for chlorine, so if you are not using a quality Carbon Block pre-filter, the membrane will not last as long.

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.

They recommend changing the filter every 6 months. I believe the warranty if for the entire unit. There is a filter inside that has to be changed.

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.

Hi. How old your filter? You have to change it ones per year.I did and I do not have any problem.

Depends on how often you run the machine...I run mine about 12 hours per day and I change the filters about every 18 months.

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.

Every 6. month's but make sure it's the correct filter because the one I. ppurchased in December was shipped with the wrong filter it blew dust out. replaced with right filter this is my second one. That's why I purchased this one, the last one lasted fir 10 years. It ran 24 hours 7days a week nonstop.

Eventually the filter will need to be replaced. As long as you take care of it it last a long time.

Even though it says every 6 months, we don't use it that often so what we do is change the the red and blue filters every 12 months and the purple filter every 24 months (yes 2 years). So far it has not degraded our water quality nor taste. I wouldn't push it more than that though. If you really want to be safe stick with what the manufacturer recommends, every 6 months for the red and blue filters and every year for the purple.

I haven't yet had to replace the filter. I don't use it that much. My filter is a permanent filter and I just empty it in the trash when I use it.

I change the membrane once a year and the filters every six months. Works well for me.

I changed mine after two years..it kinda depends how it looks after two years. The sponge filter that surrounds the filter is delicate. It holds up to gentle washing for a while.
