How often do the filters need to be changed and where/how much are they? A link to the filters is helpful. Any other maintenance requirements?

I haven't yet had to replace the filter. I don't use it that much. My filter is a permanent filter and I just empty it in the trash when I use it.

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.

I replace mine about every 6 months. As long as you have a shutoff valve ahead of the filter it's an easy un-screw the old, screw in the new replacement operation. I put a bucket underneath it to catch any water during the replacement (very little spills out.) Takes a couple of minutes at most.

There is a permanent filter that can just be rinsed and an additional optional replaceable filter that can be used in front of the perma-filter. Not sure of the cost but replaceable filters need to be changed every 3-4 months....additional notes, this unit has a pretty loud fan if used on medium or high speed.

Since there is no "replacement" (I woud also like to know where to specially order a filter to replace the original one), would you happen to know any video tutorials on how to clean it? I thought i read in the instructions that you were not supposed to wash it. You are only permitted to vacuum the filter?

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.

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

We have two of the units and find that the filters cannot be cleaned and reused; instead, they must be replaced. It would be nice if re-usable/cleanable replacement filters were available.

I donʻt bother changing just the filter. Since the filters alone usually cost about $60 and a brand new complete unit is usually about $84, I just buy a new complete unit so I can have a clean diverter and hoses. I would suggest replacing it when you notice a change in taste but it should last you at least 6 months or longer depending how hard your water is

We recommend changing the filter every 6 to 8 months. However, the filter life will depend upon the environment in which it is used.

Replacement filter is $59. We recommend to replace it every 6000 liters or 6-12 months depending on the usage. Thank you!

Mine has been on 24/7 (and we have 2 dogs) for at least 3-4 years! I haven't replaced the filter yet, I've vacuumed it and it still seems to work just fine.

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.

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.

Yes, the filter does need to be replaced, however, not often.Order filters through DeLonghi. I have not need to replace mine yet and I've used the machine approximately 10 times.

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.
