Are the filters difficult to replace?

No! The filters are easy to replace. The unit even comes with a "count down filter replacement timer" so you know when it's time. When we get within 7 days, I just reorder from Amazon:)

The filters are very easy to replace. Takes longer to unwrap them then to install them.

How often? Daily or what? I'm not sure why you assume the black filters are fragile. However they are held on by screwing them into place and it might be a problem to continually have to take them off and put them back on thus loosening the attachments continually.

You don't have to replace them, they are plastic. If you find yourself needing to backflush every 3 or 4 days, then the filter is pretty full. You can either remove them and clean them and reuse, or replace with new ones and then clean them for another change out once the filter fills again. I swap mine about every 5 or 6 months and clean in between. The filter is excellent at cleaning the water.

No it's not difficult unless you got that junk foil ducting there's a 6 " flange that actually screws to the filter the ducting connects to this and this is a really great set up the filter is huge and heavy but the combo works like a champ it's a wiener lol

I don't know yet. I'm not past the extra filters they include in the packaging yet. I'm sure they'd like us to buy the replacement filters. I can't get at my installation instructions right now, but I'm betting it might say there.

Gail, it's not easy as the fit is very tight but it can be done. What we found is: keep gently squeezing around the top edge and eventually you can see where the filter will separate from the frame. Gently peel the old one off(can be washed and reused). Then slip the new one on and push the rubber parts together so they fit snug. Hope this helps. Lee Ulbing

I don't believe they are. They do not have the markings as the filters I received with my unit.

Hello- I haven't had to replace anything yet. I use this at our place at the beach. The only thing I've had to do so far is vacuum the filter. That says a lot considering our place is beachfront and the wind is constantly blowing dust and sand into any possible opening it can find.

I contacted the manufacturer in Vista, CA with the same question. The answer I received is that the life of the filters depends on the water. I live in Yuma, AZ where the water is very hard and full of minerals. I was told to change the filter elements every year. They aren't that expensive and it would be worth it to me to change them out yearly.

the filters are a single unit which you replaced by twisting it...... it's about as complicated as installing/replacing a Lightbulb

No. I haven't used mine for over a year. I can't find replacement filters. Where do you get your filters?

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

I cleaned first filter out with small scrub type brush and used it at least four months. Neato's replacement filters were too expensive so I went online and got a replica off of eBay at fraction of cost. Got a set of four and figure it will last at minimum a year. Fit perfectly too.

Eventually the filter will need to be replaced. As long as you take care of it it last a long time.

As long as the Filters are exactly the same size, it could replace it. These filters do a great job..All I can say is the filter container is the standard size, which accomadates the standard filters that come in any micron.

I apologize to you that I am unable to answer this question for you. I ordered the filters but I had someone else install it for me, so I have no idea of what you are asking me. I am so sorry! The person I had install it, had no problem at all and it works super great for me! I just cannot answer your question. I would try contacting the company and asking them.
