About to buy a 5 stage RO system. I want this to tell us when we really need to change the filters...where do I hook this up? Do I need more than 1?

Just need one. One side goes on fresh water going in and other goes on output side. Change filters annually.

Just one. I have a similar unit that uses the same type of filter, and I change mine once a year even though I think I could wait longer. I keep an extra filter on hand just in case.

The filter I purchased only needed the one. They should also have a carbon filter to wrap around this filter. I had one of those. I was told by the Honeywell people I needed three. Not so. I got it through Amazon and it was just what I needed.

I recommend the Watts 7-Pack 1-Year RO filter bundle for a five-stage manifold. This will allow you to change out two carbon block and one sediment filter at the six-month mark, and the polish filter annually. The RO membrane should last a good 5 years (depending on your water supply quality) if you are diligent about replacing the carbon block filters--these remove chlorine and/or chloramine in your supply water before it reaches the RO membrane. These chemicals will degrade the RO membrane and shorten its lifespan. Once you do replace the RO membrane, check out the $40 50 GPD model on Amazon; for basically the same money you pay for the 24 GPD membrane that comes standard on these units, you can double your flow rate. http://www.amazon.com/Watts-Filters-Premier-5-Stage-Replacement/dp/B001ACTM1A/ref=sr_1_2?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1378220816&sr=1-2&keywords=watts+premier+filters

I was initially confused about this too. The AC5000 unit (black, silver control area, blue UV light tower unit) used to use 2 filters "pushed together" on top of each other, but now it seems to be a single filter and more expensive too! Yikes!Hope this helps. FYI: if you have the AC5000 unit, you can get the older filter style which cost 15 less then this one!! Same thing!!!It is called: "FLT5000 Filter-C True HEPA Replacement Filter"

Please read your furnace manual, but I have never heard of only using 1 kind of filter, any kind should work depending how much filtration you want.

Hello. Hope you're doing well. There were more than 50 filters. We simply ordered a replacement filter pack during the original order. My spouse and I both use the unit and one filter works for the two of us. We replace the filter after every use about once or twice a week, so we have plenty. Hope this helps!

Hello, the unit can use up to 4 filters at a time, each one has a life of 3,000 gallons, I hope I helped you, have a nice day.

You can use 2 filters minimum and four maximum at a time. Don't know why you couldn't use two of each. There's nothing that would prevent it. I'd contact customer service at British Berkfeld to make sure that you'll be getting the benefits from this setup that you hope for. My experience with two filters has been great. Water from the tap here tastes awful but once it goes through the Berkie filter, it tastes great.

I would recommend you get a filter cooler, and stay away from the RO models. it will be much easier with no ned for a drain line ect...

I wish I had better news for you Raine. I had such a difficult time changing this last time, that I broke it and had to call a plumber. Even the plumber railed about the poor quality of this system. I am going to replace the whole system and get a different filtration system. Both times I've tried changing these filters I needed help and it kind of defeats the purpose if you aren't able to change the filter. I think that PUR has a model with an easier change filter. Good luck!

When I bought the system it said on the box that for a family of 4 the filter should last about 1 year or something like that - now depending also of usage. I would at least change it once a year even twice in fact as I got more filters with my last order.

I honestly have no idea. That being said, I was concerned about that too. My solution was to put in (2) filters that were one pipe diameter larger then my inlet piping.

Not sure about all of them. I have the 5 filter system. I just installed them. Direct fit. I'll order them again. Hope that helped.

No....it's not a RO system, it is just a filter system that is mounted under your sink.

this model is not the RO model. it includes filters, yes...but it is NOT a RO Unit. Please read the description. Thank you, -J
