How many gallons will this filter before having to replace the filter element?

The Katadyn Hiker cartridge was tested at 750 liters and found effective for removal of bacteria and protozoan cysts. I hiked for two weeks along the John Muir Trail last season. My Hiker Pro is working great and I plan an additional two week hike along the JMT next month with the original cartridge. I have experience using other water filtration systems and find the Katadyn Hiker Pro to be the best. The Hiker Pro is lightweight and has the highest water output that I have experienced. I recommend the pump!

It will all depend on the quality of the water source. We've gone years without changing our filter but we primarily filter mountain stream water.

It depends what filter, who you buy it from and how many gallons you run through it.

Manufacturer says 1 yr. I doubt if we have to replace ours at 1 yr, just vacuum the pre filter monthly. That will make a big difference on how long the filter lasts.

Sorry, I cannot help you. I have never had to replace a filter at all. I wash mine, let them dry and then put them back in the unit and turn it on.

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.

I assume you are referring to the Reverse Osmosis membrane filter. That needs to be replaced too, but not as often as the other filters. I think the normal replacement period is between 2 and 5 years, depending on your water quality. They used to be very expensive, but the prices have come down a lot in the past few years. You can buy the R.O. membrane filter directly from the seller.

It looks like my filter for a 12 by 24 pool. I don't remember how many gallons that pool holds.

Yes it will but not as good the filter want last as long I would say about 2-3mo.

there is one included to run the unit, but once the filter is full it will eventually need to be replaced

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

meaure the disposable filter you have in the unit. That will be the size you need.

I don't know the number of mine but if it is the older model it won't fit. Take the filter out of yours. If it looks different it won't fit. I use mine with no filter just use bottle or filtered water

Filter needs to soak up water for about 30 minutes. After that, it should be fine. If not, ensure that you have the correct filter.

You would need to do some research as I am not sure. My pool is only 10,000 gallons. There is probably some formula for how big of a DE filter is needed for a 30,000 gallon pool.

Craig, It is difficult to put a number on how many gallons of water a filter will sufficiently filter before needing to be replaced. Even among city water systems there are varying amounts and types of chemicals that need to be filtered out. We say that it will last a typical camping season or three months of normal use before needing to be replaced. However the key is to keep an eye on the flow rate and taste. Once the flow begins to slow down or you notice a chemical taste in the water that wasn't there previously then you know it is time to replace the filter.

The replacement period is primarily determined by usage and the number of gallons if water filtered. I would monitor your usage and change it as needed. Its just my wife and I and we used it for cooking and drinking and got a couple years out of ours.

It really depends on your water. The higher the number from the wand (ppm) of your water the faster the filter will need to be changed. Our water unfiltered is about 34 and after 5 months we are on the same filter. We use at least two pitchers of water each day, usually more.
