Product Life Span How long does each filter last? Does it fade after only a few uses? If so how many times can you refill the bottle until you need to order more filters?

According to the label on the bottle packaging, it replaces 150 16.9 oz bottles. So, for the 24oz filter bottle that equals about 105 refillings. Also, the packaging says with average use, you need to replace the filter every 2 months. Obviously, you need to change it more often if you use it a lot.

Brita Bottle Replacement FiltersI have the same question as Uriel Rendon above.... Does anyone know how long a (replacement) filter will last? I know the answer probably has to do with the quality of the water source you're filling the bottle from, but there must be some 'average' life span......

Filters last about 10 uses but if you rinse them out really good you can probably get a few more uses out if them. Once they start to clog up with sediment you will know because the coffee concentrate will not flow freely through it.

The filter lasts about 4 months. This is much longer than previous filters I have used. Also, it depends on how much water you use. I make coffee with mine and use it for drinking water.

The product comes with 2 little filters (they are small things). When I received the product, there was a coupon good for some free replacement filters, so I immediately did that. I have not had to replaced the filter yet and have used the product for 6 plus months. When you need the filter you will have to get them directly from the company, as I can't imagine anyone else even carries them.

The first one I bought lasted about 3 1/2 months, and I just got a new one because I like it so much. I use it every day, many many times a day. I think all I do is wash pump and bottle parts.

Depending on how much water you use. Ours usually lasts about 2months.. Aside from that this is the best brand of filter we have used. All of the others Pur etc.. all start leaking and squiring water all over after awhile. I definitely like the Dupont filter the best.

When I bought the system it said on the box that for a family of 4 the filter should last about 1 year or something like that - now depending also of usage. I would at least change it once a year even twice in fact as I got more filters with my last order.

I purchased extra filters at the time I ordered this product and it's been a couple of months and so far I haven't had to change out the filter. It will very depending on the water and environment but I'm going to say you can at least three months for every filter change would be ideal for you pet.

I didn't see a expiration date on the box. So I'm not sure if they have a "use by date". We use the filtered water and ice often (2 people in the household). They last about 6 months. And the savings on the purchase price for 2 filters was not substantial enough to buy more than one at a time. Besides, I always need something from Amazon to add a water filter to the order.

Could it be that it expires if you don't begin to use it for five years? The filters are fabulous, and will last up to 6 months if your water is normal. Ours is hard and full of rust, and it works for about 2 on average. Totally worth the 10 dollars.

This is a one time use filter. I wouldn't recommend washing it or getting one that is washable. I have 2 dogs that shed & a smoker in my house and these filters last quite a long time before they need to be replaced - Approx. 6 months.

The instructions say change after 10 uses, however I have a neighbor who has used the same one for 5 years!!! She rinses it out real well after each use, but her coffee takes 18-24 hours to filter through. She does a pound of Folgers in each batch. My husband has only done 3 batches, but he thinks the filter will last 30+ times. At $2.50 each, I wouldn't change it after only 10 batches, but we figure we will just play it by ear, for now. We use Starbucks beans, ground very coarsely and the taste is so much better using the Toddy Cold Brew System. Not bitter at all!!! Good luck and remember not to use soap on the filter.

I believe one should last about 6 months, but I don't have any pets. What I usually do is run the filter under some water and give it a good clean and its like new.

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.

My dad is still using his, even past the 30-days. He rinses it off each morning and re-uses it that night. He has no problems with his. I think the box said it lasts about 30 days, but I could be wrong about that. They seem durable and reliable to him. He is happy with the one I ordered for him and said it works for him.

I am not sure exactly how long they last, however, we have used ours far longer than the projections and the filter worked great. Sorry i cannot be more exact. I just recently bought the first full filter set. It helps if you clean the outer filter often.

The filter comes with a small liquid type of timer with adhesive that attaches to the filter and you activate when installing it.Depending on the number of persons the filter may last 4 - 6 months. You will know when to change it by a noticeable drop in pressure.
