water filter replacement frequency?
185477
Manual (Page 18) says every 3 weeks, but it depends on how hard your water is. If you have soft water then it's much less frequently (I use distilled water so I don't even need a filter).

According to the instruction booklet filter should last approximately 2 months depending on the water quality. When I first got the machine light for filter change was coming on every 2 weeks. I replaced the filter but than the same issue occurred 2 weeks later, so I just reset it without actually changing the filter. Since that time I had to send the machine in for repair (that's a whole another story) and since I got it back I have not had the filter light come on yet... it has been about a month or so.

According to their website, filters should be replaced every 6 months. We've been using ours since 9/2012 and haven't replaced the filter yet. The water is still tasting good. Your water usage would effect how often the filter needs replacing.

We change our filters every 6 months, which is the recommended time. There are only 2 of us in the household, so it might be necessary to change it more often--or less--depending on number of people on the system. I would not want to wait until I noticed a change in water taste or quality. Why take a chance of getting a case of the trots?

I change the filter for our pooch about once per month. Depends on how hard the water is where you live. If you use filtered water it should last much longer.

I believe it is every four months, but they have a "filter club" you can join when you buy and they'll automatically send you any replacement filters as needed on a subscription basis so you won't have to give it a thought. My unit was very recently purchased, that's why I'm unclear on the timing...

Hi- they take filters and they need to be replaced every 2-3 months depending on usage.They are currently out of stock, but they are also sold on Amazon. They will be back in stock on 06/05/2015 on Amazon.

This filter is intended to be changed every 12 to 24 months. It is recommended that the average household change it every 12 months for optimal performance and 18 months for optimal value.

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.

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.

We replace our filter every 4 months or so, but we have it on our primary faucet. I think you would be able to "taste" a difference in the water when it needs to be changed.Only you will be able to judge how often you need to change it by the taste. Hope that helps.

I think they officially want you to replace them every 6 months but I usually replace them around once a year. It depends on your usage. I have it hooked up to a below counter ice maker & also a drinking water dispenser above counter. When the water starts running slow on the dispenser I replace the filter.

I've owned a unit about two years. I replaced the filter after year 1 and just replaced it the second time. The unit seemed to work OK, but the filter does get a little "grungy". I'd say replace at least once a year (I only run the unit during the winter and early Spring months-November to April)

I find that changing that filter every 12 to 18 mos. is plenty to keep the water clean and fresh. As others have said, the company says annually, but they are making money more often that way. The filter I bought here is exactly the same except it has a lower price. What is not to love about that? (put masking tape on your filter and put the date your new one should be installed right on the filter casing.)

It depends on how often you run the unit and how much dust/allergens it's filtering out of the air. If it is always running then generally the filter should be replaced every 6-8 months.

The filter is good for up to 200 gallons. The frequency in which you change your filter depends on your water usage. We change ours every 2 to 3 months.

The frequency of changing filters depends a lot on the water quality entering the filter. I have installed two of these on two rural wells that had hard rusty water. I installed an iron filter followed by a water softener ahead of this filter and now have great water for the house and excellent drinking water where before I had issues with stained clothing and rust colored fixtures. In my case the filters have not been changed yet although its not 2 years yet. If you're worried about knowing when to change filters there is a dissolved solids meter for sale for about $30 that can help you make the decision.

Personally I havnt had to change the filters as of yet and my machines run 24/7. I'm figuring every few months or so. The machines do come with replacement filters:)
