how often do you have to change the filter?

We do it about once a month. Your circumstances may be different. When it gets overburdened you will see dust on the wall. And, we don't chance it every time. You can often "skate" once or twice by removing the filter and brushing the front and rear surface. The front cover can also be washed. Hope this helps.

I have gotten away with not changing it for about two months. BUT that required me to keep the unit dust - free and clean on the inside as well s the outside. It also depends on how often you' re using it. If you use it constantly. then you will have to plan on changing the filter every month for sure.

I change the membrane once a year and the filters every six months. Works well for me.

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 heating & air conditioning system I have recommends every 6 months. I know if you don't change them when the filter is dirty it will shorten the life of some components, particularly the fan motor due to the additional load caused by restricted air flow through the filter.

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 change mine every 6 months but it depends on the hardness of your water. The filter can not be serviced. I usually recycle it with my plastics.

The only other reason to change more frequently is if microbial contamination is a concern, I put a UV light treatment unit following my RO system to help fix any problems encountered here. Now I have a UV light to change once per year and another filter to change once every 6 months in addition to RO filters and membrane service intervals.

Depending on hours run and amount of particulates in the air, every 2-6 months. If you get one of these: G99 Air Filter Gage and install it properly (quite easy) it will tell you when to change filters. Pays for itself in the long run.

On the old models I changed every 30 days. This one, with filter A, says it will last 3-6 months. I haven't had this one long enough to know for sure.

Naturally, it depends on how much you use it, but we get at least a month or two out of each filter. We can tell by the taste when it needs to be changed.

I don't use mine all that much, but I haven't had to replace the filter yet. I do clean it after each use, but that's easy enough to do.

They recommend changing the filter every 6 months. I believe the warranty if for the entire unit. There is a filter inside that has to be changed.

According to their website, filters should be replaced every 6 months. We've been using ours since 9/2012 and haven't replaced the filter yet. The water is still tasting good. Your water usage would effect how often the filter needs replacing.

I have a 2000 sq ft home and don't use the forced air much, maybe 1 hour or so a day. I change mine every 3-4 months. Please see the answer from the filter salesman in reviews.

The filter can be changed either 6 months or a year, but you must remove the front panel and vacuum off any debris about every 2 months, depending on how dirty it gets will determine how often you have to do this.

I change all the filters once per year with the exception of the membrane. That one is good for three years.

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.
