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

I have cleaned the filters very easily by snapping the cover plate off and cleaning the filters by hand.

Unscrew the black screen and take the filter out. I put t over a bin and smack it a bit then brushed it with a dust cloth.

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.

HiTo clean the filters, first push bottom to release filter. Clean both parts with running water. Let dry and reinstall.

I am not sure there is any way to really clean it. I think you may need to but replacement filters. I don't think that they were meant to be washed.

No, they are paper filters and cannot be cleaned-must be disposed of when they get filthy

Give them a thorough scrub to get the layer of sediment off. And you do have to re-prime to get air out and re establish flow. Hopefully you've kept the priming washer thingy that comes with the filters.

I just snap it apart and into empty in the garbage. If it's really dusty I'll just wipe it with a rag. I'm sure you could probably wash it if you like. I use an old toothbrush to brush off the filter. That seems to work really well

I clean my Filter every Week, just to keep it clean. I soak it in Vinegar and water 50/50 for about 10 hours.

You need to clean or replace filters on a regular basis. The plates need to be cleaned as well depending on how dirty the environment is.

I would soak them in some treated water, such as Prime (Prime is the best). After you actually use them in the filter then be sure to use only tank water when rinsing them.

on the manufacturer's website, you should not have to replace the filters. They are washable as far as I have found.

Mine isn't doing this. I would use some very diluted bleach and clean it very well and replace the filter. Search for the dilution you'll need on the bleach and water for cleaning.
