does it have an indicator to let you know when to replace the filter?

Yes but I have only had it a short time and although the green does not show, Brita assures me that it will show red when the filter is no longer working. I was happier with the old type which showed green that the filter was operational and blinked red when the filter neared the end of its life, and solid red when it was time to replace it.

It does have an indicator on it, however I have owned two faucet Brita systems (one white and one chrome), and the light never worked on either. I'm sure I could have sent them back to Brita but that seems like such a hassle.

Yes, there IS an indicator for filter life...it's on the top of the unit between the faucet and the filter. BUT....it's not electronic, so there is no "light," per se. It's a mechanical indicator, under a lens, that moves slowly as water passes over it; when enough water has run through the filter, the indicator starts to show red, and when it's completely red, it's time to change the filter. The problem is that it's not electronic, which means that it has no actual light itself, but rather depends on reflection from light outside the filter. I found that while I could sometimes see it at night with the light over the sink turned on, it was much more reliably visible by shining a flashlight down into the little port.

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

Yes, it does. It has a manual indicator that turns from green (when a new cartridge is installed) to red (when it is time for replacement). Guess it changes color due to change in the weight of the cartridge with all the impurities accumulating inside it.

Usually every 6 months or so depending on usage. The machine will tell you when the filter needs changing

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.

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:)

I don't remember since it's been so long since I bought it, but I've been buying replacement filters in bulk from Amazon at very reasonable prices. I noticed that a respondent said her indicator light stopped working. The light on mine stopped working but it turned out that I had installed a replacement filter backwards. I turned it around and the indicator light started working properly and has been working ever since with three subsequent filter replacements.

I personally ignore the light indicator. Changing the filter really depends on how much you use it. The filter is good for 100 gallons of water or 1,600 8oz cups. Usually last for about 3 months again depending on how often you are running water threw it. Hope this helps.

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

Replace the white filter when it blackens. I have to replace it about every 3 months

I have checked and I don't believe there is a filter. I think buying a new one is the best option. At least they are pretty cheap.

There is no marker on the unit. I place the date unit was installed on top of the unit with a small piece of tape to tell me when the filter should be replaced. You should replace the filter one time a year to keep flow rate going at full stream and to keep the filter and container clean.

Not that I've noticed, though admittedly my canister filter is crapping out right now (but it's about 2 years old). The only thing I notice is the water goes brown and the ph is affected according to how much you put in there...

I bought a new machine because my filter finally wore out. By that time, the timer or sensor wasn't working exactly right anyway. They aren't that expensive to replace the whole thing.

I have only had the unit for about 3 -4 weeks but there is a indicator on the unit that will tell you when to change filter. I do not know if this helps.

My indicator only changes from green to red when I need to purchase another filter.

Yes, there is a filter in the unit. I also purchased an extra filter to be prepared when it's time to change it. From other posts on Amazon, I believe the original filter lasts about a year. I've had it for about 6 months and haven't had to change it yet. Hope that helps!

No. Just change the filter once or twice a year depending on your use. My suggestion is to disconnect the timer that comes with the filter because it comes from the manufacturer for the filter to be replaced way too soon and when the alarm goes off is a pain.
