Are the filters reuseable? I'm not sure I want to replace with new filters and have to throw out filters frequently.

I am about to purchase this but another customer has carefully opened the filter media holder and replaced the active carbon and filter floss with similar filter media used for fish since this is a basic filter. We already have such materials since we do own a 50gal fish tank. So you can go to the pet store and buy what you need rather than buying a brand new filter every month.

I've been rinsing mine out but I really think I need to get some new filters. After all, they filter crap out of the water and then, if the crap remains, you're not doing your pet a favor if the new water goes through the crap.

I am cleaning the fountain once a month & do replace the filters. They say they last 2-4 weeks. I have 3 small dogs & 2 cats using the fountain if this helps. They love it!

I have only washed and reused this particular filter twice. However, the filter was not in "poor condition" when I threw it out. You could potentially get more than 2 uses out of it.

They are completely re-useable, but you should soak them in soapy water after using so the grounds don't get stuck in the filter.

Hi Janet. This unit does not have filters that need to be replaced. Thanks.

I wouldn't try cleaning the filters on mine..... they get yucky, not just dirty. I always replace mine from filtersamerica.com

Absolutely you can clean the filters , you can rinse the filters with cool running water and one filter can last for months. its been three months so far since I've actually replaced a filter . I purchased a pack of three filters and I'm still on the first one using this method .

I don't know yet. I'm not past the extra filters they include in the packaging yet. I'm sure they'd like us to buy the replacement filters. I can't get at my installation instructions right now, but I'm betting it might say there.

Hi- they take filters and they need to be replaced every 2-3 months depending on usage.They are currently out of stock, but they are also sold on Amazon. They will be back in stock on 06/05/2015 on Amazon.

of course filters need to be replaced. try reading the description of item before asking such rediculous questions.

Good Question, I checked into recycling at my last filter change, but truly I didn't recycle mine. I would have preferred to recycle, but after checking with my local recyclers decided to junk it. If anyone finds these can be recycled, Please put a post out so I can further pursue recycling. Hope this helps

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.

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

It is not a reusable filter. I read the details and it says it "out performers the washable, plastic & fiberglass filters". It is a cardboard frame and not sure of what the filter is actually made of but it is a very good filter.

The filters come off easily, too easily in my opinion. Not sure if you mean different types/versions or just different of the same kind. They pop off easily so they can be changed, not sure if different kinds fit however.

Yes they are reuseable - make sure no one throws them away since I had a few guests try and do this at a birthday party. I have put mind in the top shelf and silverware caddy of the dishwasher. Often times I will soak them in the sink and handwash if I use a lot of them at one time though.

Yes, and I have reused a single filter, at 2 brew ups per day, for several months. They are good until they tear or get a hole in them. Very 'green' if you want to look at it that way.
