Hi, I just started to use it. I'll tell you how long it'll take to change it, when I change it. Take care

Only had mine about 3 weeks. We have well water which is very hard. I expect to have to change mine every 3 or 4 weeks.V

I am not sure, but I thought you may want to know that it produces a lot of mist that leaves alot of water residue and makes the room kind of misty. It does produce a good amount of humidity

What cartridge do you change. Or do you change a filter? Where can I buy them?

As you say, it depends on the frequency of use. We do not use the printer on a daily basis, but I would say the color cartridges lasted several (3-4?) months. Of course, the black cartridge needs to be replaced more often.

Per the manufacturer, "For maximum performance, cartridge should be replaced after 750 liters or when the unit becomes hard to pump." To mean this means never, but I have replaced it once in the last few years just to be sure.

I've had mine about six months and just installed one of the cartridges. Worked great!

The 6 months is an estimate. The specs inform the cartridge should be replaced after 300 gallons.

I replace mine about once a month when using the machine. The only reason I can see to replace is that mine get hard water deposits and no longer wick the moisture properly. You may not need to change them as often although eventually they will kind of break down. I am not sure how often the manufacturer recommends replacement. Hope this helps.

The prefilter is there to catch sediment before the water passes through the carbon filters. This prevents the carbon from getting clogged up prematurely, extending the life of the unit. We recommend replacing the prefilter cartridge at least every 3 months. Actual interval will depend on your incoming water quality.

Every 50 gallons of use. Or approximately 6 months. After 6 months I take the cartridge out and drain the water from it and shake it. If there is power in there your good, if not replace it.

I am not impressed,we have had the Nuvo H2D for about 4 years. There are just the two of us retired, we receive a new cartridge every six months but it is effective only for about a month. Thinking of getting a salt water softener.

I backwash once a month. Every three months I dismantle and lube the plunger valve (used for backwashing) and open the filter to clean the cartridges.

As I use only distilled water, I usually change my filter approx. every 3 - 4 months. Hope this is helpful to you.

No. You have a life cycle based on the number of gallons of water that have been processed. The rate of flow will reduce over the life of the cartridge, but you need to try to estimate your usage, and set a calendar date for replacement based on that. If you want to be really thorough, you could submit samples for analysis to local labs to ensure you are continuing to get what you paid for.

No.there are cartridges that need to be replaced but if you use filtered or distilled water you do not absolutely have to use those cartridges

It comes with 1 filter which in a hard water area should last about 2-3 months. A light on the side of the filter holder will tell you when to replace the filter. Packs of 3 or more filters is the best buy. I don't know about some of the comments that say they are bad units, I have been using them for over 10 years with no problem, and great coffee with out chlorine taste. Life expectancy is 2-3 years and possible more depending on your water.

You keep the same water in the tank for the life of the cartridge . When the cartridge is replaced , rinse out and refill the tank at the same time .

there are 3 cartridges. frequency of change depends on how often you run the clean cycle and if you rinse the shaver prior to cleaning. I rinse after every use and run the clean cycle every time I use the shaver - on average 4 - 6 times a week. I get more than 30 days out of a cartridge. We have very hard water where I live so I use bottled water in the cleaning base so that there's no mineral deposit issues. Even if you have owned a Panasonic shaver with a cleaning base in the past you will be very surprised at how long the cleaning cycle runs and how noisy it is. That is the only downside to this shaver - it's annoyingly loud during the cleaning cycle so you need to run the cleaning cycle when you are not going to be home and for sure don't do it at night.
