This is the canaster, that the filter fits in -and should last 25 years or better - the filter is another story

Depends on what filter you put in it, and how bad your water is. I use it to hold a Carbon Block filter cartridge for drinking water on my kitchen sink! And it's good for about 6 months. If used with a sediment filter, like I said it depends on your water condition. Could last a month, could last 6 months!

I have a set of three one after the other setup to clean my whole house water and I change them about every 4 to 6 months. Bill

That's about it... The one that came with the cleaner lasted about that long as well.. After average use of once a week and occasional cleaning of the filter, I replace them in 10-12 months. If you have pets, more often probably!!

The filters last more long than, but i personally change it every time I notice the water pressure of the filtered water decreases which usually happens after 5-6 months but it also depends on how much water you drink a day

I haven't had any problems with mine since I put it in. Mine been in for at least four months now, my old filter in had to clean it every month and half.

I have read on a reliable site, that the black filters will last indefinitely. However, they said if the filters are going to be stored for long periods of time, put them in a re-sealable plastic bag, so that the filters do not absorb any air born contaminates. Jim Imel

I believe the filters last through at least 30 gallons of water or 3-4 months.

I dont know but I do know with regular easy cleaning of the filter it should last for a long long time. The filter is super easy to clean.

Our shower is used about 2-3 times daily. Our area has extremely hard water so our filters only last about 3-4 months. I change them when my skin starts to dry out (severe eczema,) or it smells heavily of chlorine.

I replace mine every three of four months. Could go longer, but we have a central well in our neighborhood and often get sediment in the lines that has to be flushed out (causing my filter to clog). Generally, activated charcoal filters should last 4-5 months.

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 got them here on amazon. You'd be surprised how long the filters last. I see 10 clue st a day on average and a filter will last me a out a month.

I have never had one go bad yet. I usually replace them at five years, or when Sawyer invents a smaller filter. I think the filters are guaranteed to filter a million gallons. I will never reach that threshold.

i would say about a year, they last a very long time and truly a rinse goes a long way but after a while you'll notice the rinse won't do anything ... i usually change it every year or so.

I can't say how many gallons before its done but these filters with moderate usage last upto a year. I use mine for my koi pond and water for my dogs. I test the water often because I need to keep the chemicals out of my koi water and this is my second filter. The first one last one year give or take a month. I expect the second to last the same.

I have been using these filters for the f]past 5 years. From information received from the company's website, I have always understood them to last 12 months.

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.

What is your question? I can't understand why these filters would expire after two or three years if you have not installed them. Perhaps the expiration applies if they've been installed and water has run through them. If you install and let them sit there for three years I can then understand having to change them after two/three year; even if they just sat there unused.
