How can I tell when to change the filter?

I just estimate how many times I fill a day, which means for me, about every 6 months. This is based on the manufacturers recommendation for length of filter use.

Filter should last approximately 1300 refills using a pH neutral municipal water, or about 800 liters. Changes in water quality and pH levels will result in reduced or increased life time of the filter. On average, we see a reported life time of the filter, refilled 4 to 5 times daily, to be 3 to 4 months. It is also possible to determine the end of the life by the changed taste of the water. As mineral content is depleted with every use, the water taste will become like normal tap water's taste. To prolong filter's life, do not let it dry out after you have started using it. Store it full if you are not using it. If you have not used the H2gO for several days, flush it out at least once and discard this water. Be sure to shake the filter to loosen any parts which can cause slow flow through rates. And please discard the filter after 6 months of use at the most, to avoid bacteria build up.

hello, i continue to test the PH of the water to see if it's changing or diminishing. also, i use colloidal silver water in the filter to help keep it from harboring bacteria. so far no problem, i would say about knowing when to change the filter...monitor the taste of the water, and if it's unpleasant, it might be time to change it. especially if you filter hard tap water all the time.

I changed mine at 3 months, mainly because I noticed by the contents of the bin that the airflow appeared to have decreased slightly. I used to change filters once a month before switching to the purple filters. I highly reccommend the -21 filter and brush upgrades.

It depends on how soon your scale build up on the filter. I change mine once a month from November to April.

12 month indicator points represent when to replace it. Suppose when you start indicator point on 10th point, it represent October. You can change the next point every month when it ends. That means you have to change every filter after 12 months of use. Note:-No need to change water filter when uses mineral water into the filter water chamber.

Change the pre filter as needed and every year change your carbon. Depending on how often you use your filter will determine how often you replace carbon. The best way to tell is the smell test. Simply get down by your filter and take a whiff. If odors are present, assure you have tight seals and are not over doing the cfm rating on your filter. If the answers are not the latter than replace carbon.

Yes, you'll need to change it every month or so. The meter indicator will tell you when to change it. Very easy to change & filters are not expensive

I returned my alen A350 after about a week of use because of the high noise level. I recall reading that filter change varies according to use and conditions. Every 6 to 12 months is the norm.

According to the user manual the filter should be changed when the little beads turn tan/brown (it was several months before my filter turned from blue/green to tan). I didn't change my filter when I first noticed the color change and my steam mop didn't work properly(started leaking). Once I changed the filter it worked fine.

We change the filter around every 4 months. I know when it is time to change the filter as the rate of flow of the water decreases as more material is filtered out of the water. I hope this helps you out. Good luck.

Filter life will vary based upon contaminant load and consumption. You'll know your filters need to be changed when: the sediment filter is getting plugged up when the water pressure drops, the iron filter when you start to have iron breakthrough, and the carbon filter when you change your iron filter. There is a filter life-cycle chart for the iron filter in your owner's manual and also on the product description page on the manufacturers website. Figure on an annual change in most applications.

Depends on the environment you are in. You can tell by how full the filters appear. That would be my guess.

There is no external measure for determining when to change the filter. So I change it on a schedule basis, every 3 months.

I think that info should be in the instructions the humidifier came with. Im sorry. Our filter does not need changing yet.

Yes, there is s little indicator on the top that shows green for new filters and as it gets older it changes to red.

On the old models I changed every 30 days. This one, with filter A, says it will last 3-6 months. I haven't had this one long enough to know for sure.

It depends on how much of the filter is covered. I change the filter before each time I use it.

Filter needs to be changed every 6 months or so - but realistically, I haven't done that yet and it seems to still work well. I run the machine on automatic every morning.
