How often do you have to change the water?

I add water daily but actually change it & clean the bowl aprox. every 3 weeks. I use essential oils as well & distilled water.

Every other day and then I clean it once a week by putting white vinegar and water in it and then run it for 1/2 an hour. Hope this helps

Because I use Young Living Essential Oils, I only clean about every 2 weeks and add the oils and bottled water everynight. The walls of the bowl need to be scrubbed after those 2 weeks to remove the scale of residue. I am rather lazy and the oils I use run near $100 so I like to conserve. I have been told that the water gets filmy, but not so for me. It bubbles and circles emitting a wonderful fragrance all night. I just top off with more water and then add 4 drops of thiefs or purification. (sometimes 2 of each) Hope this is helpful.

I'm not sure what the recommendations are for changing this filter, but when we notice that our water is tasting funny, we change the filter (about every 12 months). There are probably a lot of variables at play, such as the minerals in your water, chemicals, etc.

Officially, 40 gallons or every 2 months. However, I think you just need to be a bit creative when using it. First, you need to know the quality of your original water. If the original water is good, you may not need to change so fast. However, if the original water is bad, you may need to replace it faster. The filtered water do give better taste than the original water, so when you the taste of the filtered water turn bad, you may want to consider to change it even it has not reached the 40 gallons / 2 months mark.

It depends on how soon your scale build up on the filter. I change mine once a month from November to April.

This filter requires no additional maintenance, but it is recommended for hard water. If you already have filtered water or use distilled water, you won't need this filter. The directions say to change the filter every 30- 40 fill-ups. To me, that sounds like a lot. If you use the machine every day, you'll have to replace the filter in about a month and a half, and that can just get too expensive! I wanted to return my filter, but the return shipping was just outrageous, so I've kept it and will use it but not order replacements! Hope this helps!

Manual (Page 18) says every 3 weeks, but it depends on how hard your water is. If you have soft water then it's much less frequently (I use distilled water so I don't even need a filter).

You should only need to change the water when you change the "filter" (really, it's a detergent cartridge). Make sure you rinse out the tank several times; it gets a nice coating of stubble gunk.

A properly cycled tank should NEVER get a FULL water change. Once a week change 25% (50% when necessary)of the water with a gravel vaccuum and add a biological supplement like API Quick Start by pouring it over the filter. Change carbon every 4 weeks, biomax at 6 months, and foam at one year. Rinse Bio and foam (not at the same time) every 6 weeks when changing water.

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.

Depends on how much water goes through them. I fill the reservoir 2-3 times a day (about a liter fits in the reservoir). I change my filter about 2-3 times a year.

I change the water once a week. I like to see my fish swim in clear water! It isn't hard. Take the filter off and remove the bowl.

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

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.

Hmm, I have no idea. I change the water in mine once or twice a week when I refill it. Maybe that does the trick.

I change mine about once every 2 months but I use distilled water if you have tap watermight need to change once a month.

We only change ours out once a month. The water remains clean for that duration.

depends on your water source and how much you use the maker. We change ours every 3 months
