How often do you replace these filters?

I haven't had to change one and have used it for 3 months but I'm good about taking out the garbage the evening I've prepared dinner if I have onions/garlic or chicken bones/things that smell bad in the next day.

Naturally, it depends on what you put into the trash receptacle as to how bad the odor is or how bad it will get. We replace our filters about every 3 months and get along real well the odor control.

Not until smells are no longer filtered. I have not changed the filters for 5 months and still no smells.

Whenever I start to notice any odor, I replace them. I think about twice a year is adequate.

I think they officially want you to replace them every 6 months but I usually replace them around once a year. It depends on your usage. I have it hooked up to a below counter ice maker & also a drinking water dispenser above counter. When the water starts running slow on the dispenser I replace the filter.

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.

This filter is intended to be changed every 12 to 24 months. It is recommended that the average household change it every 12 months for optimal performance and 18 months for optimal value.

The filters will last for many years. Scrub them clean with the scrubby side of a sponge on a regular basis is all you need to do. I would NOT suggest using chemical cleaners on the filters.

I clean mine out as per instructions. Once a month, especially the bottom tank. Doesn't hurt to give those black filters a light scrub every so often.

It really depends on your usage. I change them every 12 months, or less if I notice a quality change. The manufactures website has a fact sheet that says how many gallons they are rated for.

I change mine 2-3 times a year but I dont spray that often. You may want to change yours more than that, especially the outside cotton filter covers.

The filters are usually not white when I change them. But I change them about once a year, based on amount of use.

I change them a little longer that the recommended times. We use the filtered water only for cooking and related things. There are two time frames: One filter will last one year plus and the other two should be changed every 6 months. As I said we try to wait a little longer. Maybe 8 months for the two and 14- to 16 months on the one. It really depends on use and the quality of your water.

on the manufacturer's website, you should not have to replace the filters. They are washable as far as I have found.

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.

We recommend changing the filters every 6 to 8 months. The replacement HAPF30 filters can be found at http://bit.ly/1Hgofjv.

It all depends on how much you use them, but for me i use them everyday with high dust content so I replace them every few months

Most of the filters say replace annually, bit it really depends upon your usage. I usually replace every other year and I haven't had issues with water quality...

I replace mine once a month. You could probably go a bit longer if you don't have hard water and if you clean the humidifier once a week as recommended. I do a thorough clean only once a month and replace the filter at that time since it gets all gunky from both the dust it sucks in and the hard water build-up.

It depends on how often you run the unit and how much dust/allergens it's filtering out of the air. If it is always running then generally the filter should be replaced every 6-8 months.
