how often do you have to change the water?

We have not had pillows but a couple of months and plan changing water once a year.

I would think the pillow is somewhat like a waterbed... you probably don't have to change the water, but if you want to, do it as often as you feel is necessary. I've only had mine a few months and haven't changed the water and have no problem with anything so far. I didn't read anything about changing water on the packaging information.

I would agree with previous answers. I think whatever frequency is comfortable for the owner.

The original directions I read said once a year, however I am sure one could change the water more often if so inclined.

if it is filtered, one year. if it is not filtered, put a teaspoon of clorox into the water and my advise is once a year.

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 would clean and do a full water change once a week. The filters are easy to find on amazon for cheap too and should be changed out every 6 weeks or so. Other than full water change and just wiping down with a paper towel, it's a pretty low maintenance tank.

no more than once per month, but it depends on how dirty your water seems i.e. residual lotions, perspiration, anti-perspirants, etc...

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.

I believe it depends on how many fish you have and how quickly the tank get dirty. Personally i just change it once a month to be safe.I have a 55 gallon tank with some tetras, two angel fish, two pelcos, and a albino corry(Total: 9 fish). I only change once a month, even when i had 13 fish i still changed the filter once a month.I never had any issues with the fish and my water always passed the weekly tests.

Once a month would be more than enough. Carbon is not necessary in your set up, but it would give the water a more polished look between water changes. Carbon left in place too long can actually start to release contaminants back into the tank. I would change half the water in your tank once per week, cleaning the filter every other time, and the carbon replaced every fourth time.

I would think changing it would not be an issue for quite a while. I only use it once per month. The current filter should stay good for a long time at that usage rate. When the time comes, I will rinse the filter and put back in for as long as I can.

I change it every 6-8 weeks and I buy them from Amazon. Since the water sits out for approximately a week (unlike our human water), it's a good idea to use the filters.

Depends on how much water goes through them. I fill the reservoir 2-3 times a day (about a liter fits in the reservoir). I change my filter about 2-3 times a year.

It depends on how much water you filter & how many filters you use (2 or 4). Also, normal city water varies due to local water hardness. We fill up the filter 1 to 2 times per day (usually twice) with 4 & change them every 6 months, but if we didn't have kids, our filters would probably last us about twice as long. However, this is still cheaper than other filtering methods we've used & does a much better job.

Apply every 10 - 14 days depending on your environment. I water every 14 days for my needs

Hi, if you were talking about "water" filter, YES you should change it as often as you want. If you look at it, it will show you just how "clean" your water is. A common reason is RUST ! Hot water in pipes has a sediment of rust particles. Even when cold only is turned on, particles move in pipes and may be sent thru water system. Check top of filter for "rust", easily seen if problem exists. Maybe you are lucky and have "clean pipes" !! LOL

Printed on the edge of the filter: "Change every 6 to 12 months - more often if the filter appears dirty." My HVAC person recommended every 6 months.

I change mine about once every 2 months but I use distilled water if you have tap watermight need to change once a month.

I change the water once a week. I like to see my fish swim in clear water! It isn't hard. Take the filter off and remove the bowl.

It depends on your use but I try to change once a year. I have gone much longer though and have not noticed any degradation in the taste of the water. The filters really make a difference.
