I don't know. The pump only lasted 3 months before it broke, so I never bothered with a filter.

I have a slightly different model that uses the same filter. This filter is nearly the size of the unit, so you only use one. I replace mine every few years. There is also 1" outer filter that wraps around this inner filter that is made of a soft mesh-like fabric material.

There is no external measure for determining when to change the filter. So I change it on a schedule basis, every 3 months.

I have one cat and she uses the fountain constantly. I find I change the filters about once a month. I don't find $6 for a pack of three to be expensive and would happily change them more often but it really doesn't seem to need it. My cat is quick to tell me when she wants fresh water and I also use pre-filtered water from the refrigerator.

The product comes with 2 little filters (they are small things). When I received the product, there was a coupon good for some free replacement filters, so I immediately did that. I have not had to replaced the filter yet and have used the product for 6 plus months. When you need the filter you will have to get them directly from the company, as I can't imagine anyone else even carries them.

Hello. Hope you're doing well. There were more than 50 filters. We simply ordered a replacement filter pack during the original order. My spouse and I both use the unit and one filter works for the two of us. We replace the filter after every use about once or twice a week, so we have plenty. Hope this helps!

There are three filters One permanent, two replaceable. You should "clean" and re-use the initial filter monthly depending on the work load. I haven't had this unit very long so I just take the front cover off and visually check the filter. The cover is very easy to remove & replace. The other two filters are expected to last around 18 months. They have to be replaced, not cleaned. When the cover is off there are a series of led lights telling you the condition of the filters. By the way, removal and replacement of the filters is really easy.

Super easy filter replacement. There are two filters. Open the back of the unit and the are completely visible.

I believe it comes with enough to get started. So if its a dual filter system, it should come with two filters. Buying the filters on amazon is really cheap so I would buy extra, so you don't have to worry when your ready to do a water change.

I purchased extra filters at the time I ordered this product and it's been a couple of months and so far I haven't had to change out the filter. It will very depending on the water and environment but I'm going to say you can at least three months for every filter change would be ideal for you pet.

I believe it came with one filter but I would order more filters as you will need to change them frequently at first

It did not come with an extra filter. I have only had the product for about 1 month so haven't had that issue yet.

I find that changing that filter every 12 to 18 mos. is plenty to keep the water clean and fresh. As others have said, the company says annually, but they are making money more often that way. The filter I bought here is exactly the same except it has a lower price. What is not to love about that? (put masking tape on your filter and put the date your new one should be installed right on the filter casing.)

The instructions state the filter should need to be changed every 6 Months. I bought mine in December 2012 and have not changed the filter yet. The unit has four lights that indicate when the filter needs to be changed. Mine is only on the second light indicator. I run the unit 24/7 on the second of four speeds, and wash the foam pre-filter every month.

hi Chester, it comes with 3 filters... you need all 3 to function. Filters last very long time and can be cleaned.

There is a pre-filter that you have to change. There is an indicator to tell you when to change filters. How often depends on what setting you run. I run mine at medium 24/7, high for 1 hour after vacuuming. I change filters about every1 1/2 - 2 months. They're not expensive.

The system is about as low tech as it can get ant there doesn't seem to be a reason for any dramatic change. I've been using it for about 30 years and the only change is the addition of a handle. My guess is, the only difference is the 2 extra filters.
