I ordered this replacement and it works Sprite HOC Replacement High Output Shower FilterI have read that you are supposed to replace the filter 1xper year, but who knows what kind of usage they are basing that off of. I replaced mine after only 4 or 5 months (when I started noticing a considerable difference), but I hadn't realized until afterward that you are supposed to reverse the filter every 30 days. I am hoping if I do that it will last at least a few more months this time.

It depends on how hard your water is & how often you shower. I would recommend every 6 months, & not less than annually under normal water conditions.

What cartridge do you change. Or do you change a filter? Where can I buy them?

I have not changed the filter in my units yet. I have cleaned them, meaning I have knocked the dust off them. But I have not replaced them. There is a small somewhat fragile one in there that you want to be careful with as I guess there is no replacement. The other is larger, maybe paper although I don't remember for sure. This is the one I have knocked the dust off.

I think the filter and cartridge are one and the same. You turn off the main water valve, unscrew the plastic housing, remove the old filter/cartridge and insert the new one. How often you do this would depend on how much particulate you have in your water supply. With our well water we replaced the filter every three months.

Assuming that you are on a regulated city water supply...That filter cartridge is good for 3 months or 500 gallons under normal use. Make sure you are not running hot water through the filter as that can cause it to come apart. You can also try running the water through the filter more slowly rather than wide open. Also - Open up the housing, remove the filter and clean the housing. Use some fragrance free chlorine bleach to disinfect the housing, rinse and dry well and reinsert the filter. Make sure to orient the filter cartridge so that the indicator arrow is pointing down towards the counter top while in final position.

I believe you replace the entire cartridge...there is no replacing just the filter. You can order a prefilter that snaps over the top of the 6001. I think it is 5000 something. Mike

I own two of these Units and they work great with the Upgraded $99 filter (Winix Size 21 Washable Ultimate Filter Cartridge (114190) ). I have tried washing the filters and I would say once max. I don't know who is rinsing them six times but I cant get anywhere near the same performance even after one wash with either sets of filters. That's the part they don't tell you. Every six months another $99 bucks for a filter. They work excellent though.RT

It is a purifier. Lots of sediment (like in the Colorado River/Grand Canyon) will severely limit the number of times it can be used before replacement. When the water source is not as silty it can last a long time. I've been using this filter for over 15 years with many replacements of the cartridge.

try putting a little faucet grease on the "o" ring and then push up and turn the cartridge to the right into it's locking position. I do this always it helps when removing the filter to replace it

I cleaned first filter out with small scrub type brush and used it at least four months. Neato's replacement filters were too expensive so I went online and got a replica off of eBay at fraction of cost. Got a set of four and figure it will last at minimum a year. Fit perfectly too.

I haven't had any problems with mine since I put it in. Mine been in for at least four months now, my old filter in had to clean it every month and half.

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.

From amazon I think I've read 1 year, from another website that sells the same filter I've read 1-2 I guess it depends how much you use it. Hope this helps!

We recommend changing the filter every 6 to 8 months. However, the filter life will depend upon the environment in which it is used.

that`s what i do.my filter came with refillable cartridges that i put filter floss in and put them in front of the filter cartridges in the back of the filter and that seems to keep the green gook to a minimum. i change the cartidges every month or so

Really clean the filter or replace it. We need to clean the filter at least every two weeks of use.

there is only one place that I know of to get replacements - at: http://www.bigalspets.com/filter-cartridge-for-dive-clean-mini-3-pk.html They are fairly inexpensive - 5 bucks for a three pack of replacements + shipping. That is the only place I have found replacements.
