how many times can you use a filter before replacing?

I still have the original and just cleaned it with urnex full circle coffee maker cleaner... Otherwise, probably only 10 times before you get a stale coffee taste from the filter... Hope that helps?

I have been using my filter once a month for the last 6 months or so. Treating it as recommended, it seems to be holding up rather nicely.

I have used it four times in a row. Had to get new filter because of mold growing on it after six months in refrigerator, stored on water. Instructions say to store in water.

We use two different filters. One is a large paper filter that we put the coffee in and only use that one once. The other filter fits in the bottom of the brewing container. We probably have used that one 12 times and have not replacced it. Be sure and rinse it out after each use. Just follow the instructions for its care.

It is more an issue of preference. Over time, the filter will absorb odors and develop a more rough texture. I think I've replaced after about 15 uses and I sterilized before each use. Storing in fridge as manufacturer recommends causes mold to develop. I store dry.

I generally use mine about 8-10 times before replacing the one in the bottom of the pot. I put it in a bowl of boiling water and change the water two or three times and then boil it in the microwave for about four minutes between uses, let it cool, wring it out thoroughly and then store it in water in the container in the fridge. I've never had a problem with mold but I don't store it before I clean it and I usually make coffee twice a week.

I am still using the one that came with it, a year later. I make about 2-4 double batches a month. I rinse it good after each use and store it and the plug together in a little water in the container it comes in, in the frig. Love this brewer....just make sure to glue the handle on to avoid a messy accident.....

I check the filter after the winter heating season and at the end of summer. Depending on use, I change filters once or twice a year.

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

I clean mine more frequently but that is different for every system. I usually get 3-4 cleanings per filter and I know it is time to throw it away when the pressure stays high after cleaning.

I replace mine about every 6 months. As long as you have a shutoff valve ahead of the filter it's an easy un-screw the old, screw in the new replacement operation. I put a bucket underneath it to catch any water during the replacement (very little spills out.) Takes a couple of minutes at most.

The heating & air conditioning system I have recommends every 6 months. I know if you don't change them when the filter is dirty it will shorten the life of some components, particularly the fan motor due to the additional load caused by restricted air flow through the filter.

I have not changed the filter in my units yet. I have cleaned them, meaning I have knocked the dust off them. But I have not replaced them. There is a small somewhat fragile one in there that you want to be careful with as I guess there is no replacement. The other is larger, maybe paper although I don't remember for sure. This is the one I have knocked the dust off.

We change ours every 3 months (90 days) - We have a thing set up with Amazon to send us a filter quarterly, we have an extra on hand so after I use the one I have a new one waiting. Ours has a dial on top to tell me when to change (in case I forget)

Naturally, it depends on how much you use it, but we get at least a month or two out of each filter. We can tell by the taste when it needs to be changed.

Just one. I have a similar unit that uses the same type of filter, and I change mine once a year even though I think I could wait longer. I keep an extra filter on hand just in case.

The filters will need to be replaced after 3,000 to 6,000 gallons of water filtered per filter, depending on whether you are filtering tap water or pond water or other water that is dirty.

I have had mine for a little over a year with no wear and tear. I wouldn't be surprised if the filter lasts for another 2 years. I put it through its paces, using it every other day for a few mins and for extended periods while cleaning once a month.

That's hard to answer. It really depends on how dirty or clean your air is. The system tells you when it needs to be changed. I actually clean the charcoal filter several times before changing it. The other filters I only change once a year. I hope that helps. :)

i keep two filters, after about two to three weeks of use i change filters and soak the one i took out in a solution of white vinegar and water(20% vinegar/80%water) for about two days then rinse in clean water until vinegar smell is gone. be careful not to crush filter when rinsing.i usuallyget two seasons from the filters.

That's about it... The one that came with the cleaner lasted about that long as well.. After average use of once a week and occasional cleaning of the filter, I replace them in 10-12 months. If you have pets, more often probably!!

Prefilter: Directions say every 90 days. I run my filter 24/7 and need to change the pre-filter every 60 days.HEPA filter is supposed to last 1 year. I change mine more often due to severe allergies and chemical/fragrance sensitivities; mostly due to scent.
