What is the life of the filter?

that answer would probably be different for most people depending on your water

I agree with John's response. I change mine at 6 months. I notice in the last 2-3 weeks that the chlorine taste will start making a return. I live in Pittsburgh PA and they use quite a bit of chlorine in our city tap water. Its not anywhere near 2500 gallons by the time you can taste it - closer to 500 gallons MAX. Excellent filter though! I was going through brita pitcher filters once a week or about every 10-12 gallons if that says anything of the chlorine levels here(unfiltered it like drinking from a swimming pool)

I use mine on a deep well that has iron content and the filter lasts for 3-4 months.

I don't have the product literature in front of me, but usually these things can go 3 months or so before the filter is changed out, especially if the water is kept clean. Filter longevity will depend on your water and how much stuff the pets might drag into it.

I've had mine for two years & haven't replaced the filter yet. So, I don't know. It depends on how much you use it I guess.

The date you put in the filter so you know when to replace it. Like on a Brita filter.

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.

It depends on the type of filter. This one has lasted about 2 months next to a puppy crate.

Depends on your usage, how hard your water is and how often you clean it. If you maintain properly, it should last 3 to 6 months. Google how to clean a humidifier filter. Cleaning it is the key to its longevity.

The best practice is to change it every 8 to 12 months. Even flowing strongly after that time filter could have lost part of its filtering properties.

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.

If the filter is still in the original packaging it wont just poof expire. But the filter inside the unit does need replaced after use I find after about 30-50 gallons of water but have been told as low as 25 and as high as 100 gallons. I think its one of those if the water is clean it pumps more water and the closer you use it together time wise the more it pumps but not exactly sure. Remember to always carry iodine pills for backup.

Filter life will vary based upon contaminant load and consumption. You'll know your filters need to be changed when: the sediment filter is getting plugged up when the water pressure drops, the iron filter when you start to have iron breakthrough, and the carbon filter when you change your iron filter. There is a filter life-cycle chart for the iron filter in your owner's manual and also on the product description page on the manufacturers website. Figure on an annual change in most applications.

It depends on the quality of the water being filtered. If the water is murky, the filters will need to be cleaned more often and may last only one year. If the water is clear, the filters may last up to four years.

I can't answer that question. I have the filter in and on a daily use it lasts approx 3 months for me. I drink alot of water so it is active all day.

I only use it for about several weeks, and it works well for now but i don't know how long it lasts. As for the filter, I may try to buy a new bottle considering the price of this bottle.

The pre-filters seem to last about 4-6 months. We have dogs and that may affect filter life, although they may be on an automatic countdown timer.

CharlesouTou are welcome. This has been a great filter. I have had it running continuously (other than cleaning) for more than 7 years with no problems.Mark

We recommend changing the filter every 6 to 8 months. However, the filter life will depend upon the environment in which it is used.
