Can this filter be washed off and reused? Looking to use it to filter well water for our pool.

This is a single use/disposable water filter. I don't know how you would clear the filter....you cannot see the working parts of it.

They last along time. I use mine for two camping seasons. It would last longer I think. So yes.

You can clean the filter yourself and use it over and over again. I can't foresee ever buying another filter for it.

I believe the round filter need not be replaced, it is intended to rinse out with warm water and air dry. There should be parts shown in the manual, however

I've had this item for several years. About once a month I wash the filter with dishwashing detergent & warm water. It's still like brand new.

Nope. From the vacuum manual: "The filter CANNOT be washed as it will lose its dust trapping ability." It doesn't look like it would survive the washing.

I'm not sure as we use ours regularly but my guess is I would dump the water and refill. I don't think the filters drying out would be a big problem unless they are dirty.

They offer replacement filters for it however I have washed and reused mine numerous times. It's just a hard piece of wirish like filter. It's very easy to clean and reuse. I have never replaced mine yet.

I usually take the filter out periodically and vacuum it to extend it's usability. Unfortunately, I don't think it it recyclable.

I would think you could wash it. There was enough pre-filter to make two anyways. So could just the other one while letting one dry. I usually just blow off the filter with an air hose so if you have access to that it works great. I do that to all my filters, like the vacuum, dust buster, window units, and then this air purifier. The deal is keeping the prefilter clean to help preserve the life of the main filter.

Not sure, but since the filter is ceramic and they give you some sand paper to clean it. I would say you could use it for a very long time without needing to change it.

Don't know about that brand reusable filter but you should be able to. I used a standard reusable filter on the one I had.

No. You do have about 3 filters that get replaced at various times. They are not washable. A display screen on the top will indicate which filter needs to be replaced. We have had ours about 2.5 years and I have replaced one filter at about $50 and a second filter is needed at a cost of $150+

Actually yes. You'll know when it needs to be replaced because the flow of the water will decrease. In general the manufactor recommends replacing it every 6 months with your average 10,000 gallon usage. Main reason I purchased this filter was for the chlorine smell reduction and it does a pretty good job at that. Having said that, I will more than likely replace it every 4 months because the Chlorine really get's to me while showering and it's a great neutralizer for that. I hope this helps.

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.

I don't know if they can be used more than once, but I wouldn't recommend it. The whole purpose of the filter is to remove taste contaminants in your house water. I suspect that if you used them more than the recommended two months per filter, that it would reduce its effectiveness. Try it and do a taste test. Maybe the rest of us have been dupped into discarding a perfectly good filter !

When I'm done vacuuming, I always put the filter under the hose and wash it out. I just let it dry out in the sun. So far in the 8 months I've used this (probably 12 plus uses), the filter shows no wear or tear. Just make sure it is dry before using it next time. Also on the Amazon comparison section, it says the filter is washable.

It can be used for any type of pool. I am using it for a small pond. This filter in not Stainless Steel as the name implies.This is a large filter and would do an Olympic size pool.
