Does this require periodic replacement of filters or cartridges?

about every 3 months with daily use. it is a good idea to replace the filter the water drips through

hi, i would be happy to answer your question the box says 25 gallons but we have used ours for at least 50 to 70 gallons the minerals might be gone but the carbon is still there giving the water a great taste i do not know if you have yet but the filter is very imprtant for taste becuase if dont have the water taste kinda likeplastic at first becuase the vapor picks up the smell of the new plasic but the carbon filter completly eliminates this all in all great product even bought relitive one. filters are about 35-40 for 2 pack.

There's a mineral cartridge you can place in the bottle for when the water runs to add minerals to the water but you don't have to get it. I've had this for years and have had no plastic taste to my water. Used the mineral cartridge for a bit and then when it was supposed to be finished thew it out. I'm still using mine have had it since around 2007. Keep babying it because the water where I live now is hard and I love this boiling pot!!!

Only the carbon "post filter" cups. Not bad though, I refresh mine by running boiling distilled water through them after about 60 gallons or so. They come in boxes of six from Waterwise and I get two years out of a box. I distill a gallon of water (sometimes two) every day.

yes it does, but do not buy one as it's unusable. Product water smells like plastics and glue.

I assume your asking if the filter needed to be replaced and the answer is no. That said, after several weeks of continuous operation there was more dust on the outside of the unit than the filter. I wouldn't recommend this unit to anyone.

You replace this cartridge when you start getting white dust on things. This is the minerals in your water. As this cartridge gets full of these minerals, it's efficiency goes down. Depending on how hard your water is, this time can vary greatly

I don't know anything about that. You are supposed to change the filters every two months.

I have not installed the cartridge. However, with any filter, you must expect some decrease in the flow rate. I will let you know the results in approximately 45 days.

Really clean the filter or replace it. We need to clean the filter at least every two weeks of use.

For me it's about once a year. Remember that you can save money by just buying replacement crystals and unscrewing and refilling your original cartridge.

It has a small filter that comes with it. I replace it every so often. I use it just because it has it. I guess you wouldn't have to.

There is a cartridge filter that you take out and use a hose to clean it. The filter works great and well worth the cost.

Membrane every 2 years. Filters need to be changed more often--according to the amount of use.

It comes with one filter, but then you need to purchase a new filter, maybe every few months or so.It comes with a schedule for when you should replace them. They are not expensive.

As long as you already have the cartridge the filter goes into then yes, just buy the replacement filter.

Hi- they take filters and they need to be replaced every 2-3 months depending on usage.They are currently out of stock, but they are also sold on Amazon. They will be back in stock on 06/05/2015 on Amazon.

When you are done you have to buy a new cartridge. The cartridges last for months.

It should not be necessary to replace the filter. It will need to be shaken out or vacumed once a month. It is also OK to rinse the filters however let them dry for at least 24 hours. I have owned this products for several years and never had to replace the filters.

I believe they suggest every 3-4 months...I purchased the filters online at amazon actually.

it comes with a filter but you need to eventually replace it every few months.
