according to the maker, in a normal motorhome situation, you should change the filter and hose assembly twice a year. how many gallons? i do not know. but at the extremely low price that amazon offers these filter kits ,i ordered 3 at a time! that way i have 2 years supply with me when we travel .

it depends on how grungy the water is If it is clean and just smells like a swimming pool it will probably last years If it is murky and filled with silt not very long. Most places i fill up the water is pretty clean and just smells or tastes bad. I only fill up my tank 5 or 6 times a year . they claim that it should be replaced every year. Personally i soaked it in bleach every fall when i put the trailer away and another soak in the spring and used it for 4 years. It was still working ok when i replaced it this summer

Just one gallon at a time. If u are using tap water, be sure to scrub out after every use. I catch rain water and use it to distill. It tastes better and isn't hard to clean after a use. I hope this was help full. Good luck :-)

Yes, at least 2 gallons. It is alright to purchase another gallon as this product will last in storage without degradation.

I can't say how many gallons before its done but these filters with moderate usage last upto a year. I use mine for my koi pond and water for my dogs. I test the water often because I need to keep the chemicals out of my koi water and this is my second filter. The first one last one year give or take a month. I expect the second to last the same.

When I initally bought my "big" setup, I read that you should replace them once a year or max 1000 gallons. I replaced mine at the one year mark. If I were you though, I would order directly from propur. The customer service beats the other retailers. And by the way, im skeptical that these filters actually filter out flouride. Do your research

Yes I can but I don't know for how long because the filters are fairly small so I don't know many gallons you could actually come through it before having to replace the filters

I have never had to replace it that often. Is your water extremely hard? Are there many contaminants in it?

Hi Ronald you should at least filter 60 gals. of water.Filtration capacity will vary depending on quality of source water.

10 gallons. It has been wonderful having more water at hand for cooking etc.

A couple of gallons. I don't know exactly. I would have to go look on the paperwork.

As long as it takes you to go through 200 gallons of water....I'm over 6 months right now, but I also buy bottled water for drinking.

We bought our Berkey about a year and a half ago, and we're still using the original filters. We have three kids under four, and we refill our reservoir every two to three days. Conservatively, that means we may have filtered somewhere in the neighborhood of 1000 gallons in a year and a half. If I recall correctly, each filter is capable of filtering up to 3000 gallons, so we should have several years ahead of us just looking at the numbers. However, it's probably a good idea to change the filters regularly. It's been a few months since we did the food coloring test. We've been considering getting new filters for good measure, but our filtered water still tastes fantastic. Just writing this makes me want to chug a few glasses of water.

As Leaser states below, it depends on the quality of water you start with. I use mine at work, so I only run about a gallon a day through it, five days a week. The tap water measures about 180-200 ppm on the meter, and it lasts me about 2 months per filter, around 40-50 gallons, I would estimate.

40 gallons OR 2 months...whichever comes first! I personally change mine at the beginning of each month because we use it so much and have very hard water. I would imagine that an unwrapped/unused cartridge would last at least a year or more.

40 gallons or about 2 months time for an average family.there is a filter change indicator on top of the lid to show you when it's time to change the filter so you don't have to count unless you are so inclined to.

It really depends on how much you use it, it says about 16 gallons per filter, but I've found that it varies from time of the year (you drink more water in the summer), I'd say you would have to replace a filter at least once every 2 months.

Depends on a few factors. Water quality, how it's stored and how good you are at maintaining it. That being said I've used mine heavily for a year and prolly put 100 gallons through it and I'm no where near needing to replace it. Hope this helps
