How long does the filter last?

The Pearl water filter is good for one year and rated for 3200 gallons. The filter is certified for this life by the Water Quality Association (WQA) so this is not just a manufacturers statement, but a certified statement that has been tested in a lab. Thanks for asking!

The unit has a timer that reminds you to change the filter every 6 months. I changed the filter for the first time this month (I've only had my GermGuardian 6 months) but after I did I realized the filter wasn't all that dirty, probably could have easily been wiped off and would have lasted at least another 3 months. We have a large dog but live in Seattle where there's not a TON of dust in the air. We run it 24/7 on medium.

I'd say the two-month time on each filter applies if you're using it a lot, say 5 liters a day. Otherwise, you can keep it for 3-4 months.

According to the manufactures info it is 6 months. We only just installed ours this month and really wont know until the water changes taste. In my experience with filters, most of the time you can get more filtered water than the manufacturer states but that depends on the area you live in (the chemicals in the water).

Approx. every six to eight months, running it 8 hours a day in my bedroom. I live in the southwest, in a dry dusty environment, so it would probably last longer under less severe conditions. Also, I must clean the pre-filter at least once a week.

It depends on how often you run the unit and how much dust/allergens it's filtering out of the air. If it is always running then generally the filter should be replaced every 6-8 months.

We use this for a number of months. I would say 6 months. You could see on ours the filter looked dirty. We have real hard water. This is a factor. Just a guess once or twice a year.

depends on how often you run it and how dirty your air is. Seems like mine lasted about 9 months being run daily. You just wash the pre filter

Could it be that it expires if you don't begin to use it for five years? The filters are fabulous, and will last up to 6 months if your water is normal. Ours is hard and full of rust, and it works for about 2 on average. Totally worth the 10 dollars.

Depends on how often you run the machine...I run mine about 12 hours per day and I change the filters about every 18 months.

It depends on how hard your water is in your area. There are additives that you can buy that will keep the filter from becoming saturated with deposits, but I think most filters are good for two to three months of intermittent usage. Just check the filter to see if it is building up too much hard water deposits and not retaining its original flexibility and moisture wicking ability.

I change the filter for our pooch about once per month. Depends on how hard the water is where you live. If you use filtered water it should last much longer.

Of course it ultimately depends on the environment you're in I've read that they last anywhere from 6 to 12 months, so far I have yet to change mine. I open it periodically to look at it and it is still pretty clean, the black pre-filter catches more and needs replacing more in my opinion. With four dogs I'm thinking of replacing the black filter soon on mine but it does come with extras when you buy it. It does have a filter light that will come on when the main filter needs to be changed as well.

It really depends on your water. The higher the number from the wand (ppm) of your water the faster the filter will need to be changed. Our water unfiltered is about 34 and after 5 months we are on the same filter. We use at least two pitchers of water each day, usually more.

I've only had mine for 2months..I'm not sure,but other reviewers have said they have vacuumed or lightly brushed the filter to clean.

I have only had the unit for about 3 -4 weeks but there is a indicator on the unit that will tell you when to change filter. I do not know if this helps.

Honeywell tells me it will last from one to three years depending on how much you run machine. You should be able to tell because eventually the outside of the filter will turn sort of pale beige/yellow compared to the inside, which will still be white. You can also vacuum it to prolong life. Just use a soft brush and don't damage the paper folds.
