Depends on the load setting, but it is quite a bit slower than the older models that don't sense the amount of clothing in the washer.

Close to 5 minutes. Just have warmed water to add if you need a longer shower.

We wash ours before summer and before winter. We use a standard garden hose at a high velocity aimed at the inlet surface of the filter for abouttwo or three minutes and then let dry throughly (in sunlight if possible).

I would have to give the same answer as b52 listed here. I wouldn't hesitate to spot clean it, but I would not put it in a washing machine. It's an absolutely marvelous invention!

The model I purchased is probably more unit than I needed for a one bathroom house with a dish washer. 3-4 gallons per minute flow rate should accomodate most homes. Get a model with an adjustable thermostat.

we use ours in a high efficiency washer, it lasts us 2 months. we do a small load about 3-4 times a week. I use a teaspoon the night before I wash it in a soak (outside the washer). when we first got it we had to run a few loads a couple times. the soaking helps with not having to do that any more.

The instructions say to pre-soak for 15 minutes in cold water then wash on gentle setting for 2 minutes. Rinse in cold water and spin in the washer. Preheat the dryer for 2 minutes then dry on low for 10 minutes. Finish drying on a line or over a shower.

My wife and I only have to change it every 6 months, I'd say 4-6 months would be your average. Works great BTW

It's not the best washer. When iyou start it you need to give it time before it starts to work.

I used a dishwasher for 6 months and have been handwashing since then (due to relocation). I noticed no deterioration over the 6 months of dishwasher use, but my usage rate was not high.

Yep, pretty standard. The directions recommend leaving it in for 5-7 minutes and then rinsing.

We have had ours for a year. Use it 2-3 times a year and hand wash. So far no problems.

You really can't tell and the cycle takes several hours. In our case the dishwasher never dried the dishes and we had constant water remaking in bottom after each cycle. We now have a new dishwasher --not a Whirlpool! Good luck!

We have had ours for at least 5 years and probably more like 7 or 8 years. It still works as if it were brand new. Never wash it in the dish washer, though! I only hand wash in warm (not hot) water.
