Do the filters have an expiration date? Or can you stockpile them?

I don't see one on the pack I have. It's basically a fibercloth bag filled with charcoal. As long as you store your stockpile in an airtight container before use, it should last.

You would have to check the box YOU purchase. Every lot has a new expiration date.

I did not see a "use by" date on any of mine. I can say I'm confident that as long as I store it dry it should be practically indefinite. I have sealed my spares in food saver vacuum sealed bags and will use them with confidence any time in the future when opened. A used filter MUST be completely dry before storage so the two I use I do not expect to last any longer than my other filters (i.e. pump or gravity fed). A food saver vacuum sealer is really a small investment for long term storage requirements.

They may last up to like 3-6 months, just depends on how much you use the bottle. The filters can be bought right on amazon but I found then at Walmart to be a little cheaper.

What is your question? I can't understand why these filters would expire after two or three years if you have not installed them. Perhaps the expiration applies if they've been installed and water has run through them. If you install and let them sit there for three years I can then understand having to change them after two/three year; even if they just sat there unused.

I have been using these filters for the f]past 5 years. From information received from the company's website, I have always understood them to last 12 months.

Depending on the amount of use, your filters should last 3-6 months easily. You can greatly extend the life of the filter by using a small hand vacuum or dust blower to clean the filter regularly.

Yes! I can assure you that all of these that we currently have in stock have expiration dates at least 2 years away. I hope this helps!

Wow, you are ambitious. January 2015 is the expiration date on my boxes. Enjoy!

There is no expiration date stated and I see no reason the unopened filter wouldn't have a shelf life of a year or two. Once in use, though, Camco recommends replacement after 3 months. As full-timers, we use our filters a lot and I usually replace mine every 4 to 6 months.

Ditto Donna BUT I saw on their web site that you can vacuum the filter (usually 12 months from the time you started using it) and that the filter should last a total of about 2 years. Now we know why it was a Gold Box Deal when we bought them!

Depends how much water you drink. I guesstimate 2 months. You can get filters on Amazon or Ebay.

if you keep the filters cleaned on a regular schedule they should last for many years. check your cleaning requirements (very simple and easy to do)

Yes, you get one set of filters with the housing. They should last up to 6 months depending on how much you use it.

Idk, to be honest, I dont think they expire, unless you are going to leave that there for 3-4 years. I already used mine

mine were November of this year; plenty of time to be used before they expire (based on when I ordered them)
