It comes with 2 filters. One activated charcoal filter and a hepa filter. Replacement filters are expensive. About $80 for both filters. However, the filters last two years. It is very easy to add a third cut to fit charcoal mat pre-filter in front of the activated charcoal filter. I do this and replace it every four months to preserve the original filters. It's a very nice air filter. Quiet and energy efficient.

I believe it comes with enough to get started. So if its a dual filter system, it should come with two filters. Buying the filters on amazon is really cheap so I would buy extra, so you don't have to worry when your ready to do a water change.

It depends on which size container you have. We have the Burkey Traveler which is a little over a gallon and it only uses one filter at a time, but some of the larger containers use two at a time.

There is an air filter and two water filters. Detailed instructions came with the product. Too elaborate to explain here. We have cleaned the air filter; not the water filters yet.

I believe you can buy an extra filter. But only 1 filter will fit at a time.

No. You can use between 1 and 3 filters. The more filters you have, the faster it will filter. 1 filter ~ 14 hours. 2 filters ~ 8 hours. 3 filters ~ 5 hours.

Only one. You end up with a leftover skinny strip that isn't enough for another filter.

It contains only one filter that consists of about 3 layers. It can be cut to MANY sizes, as long as you do not need it to be larger than the filter is.

The upper portion uses 4 filters all at once. The Berkey web site states that the filter lifetime is 3,000 gallons per filter.

There are three filters in the machine. The V5 is one piece of them. You can buy it later when V5 needs replacement.

I believe it came with one filter but I would order more filters as you will need to change them frequently at first

The upper chamber has 4 pre-drilled holes for filters, 2 of them are filled with removable rubber plugs. The unit comes with 2 filters, but if you wanted to use 4, just remove the plugs and attach 2 more filters.

there is one included to run the unit, but once the filter is full it will eventually need to be replaced

Yes, two sponge filters, and two of the white carbon filled filter bags (which is enough to set it up - you'll need two more of each when you go to change the filters).

I do not remember. I read the directions. It was not long but of course depends on just how dirty your filter is. Follow directions.
