Can you replace the filter without purchasing a new plastic housing? I would prefer to minimize my plastic consumption/waste.

Unfortunately no you must replace the bottom filter and plastic(one piece).the top piece of plastic connected to the shower head and the water source pipe may be reused.

I've never used the replacement filter. I've always purchased a new set. There is not much difference in plastic consumption and the cost of buying the replacement filter has been higher than replacing the entire unit.

You absolutely can; however, the new sets are the same price as the refills so it's really up to you. No reason to buy a new one if it works just fine. We chose to buy a new set since the old one started leaking vit c. Still love the product though! Works really well.

Just take the top off and there should be a black flap. Undo the flap and replace with new filter. Make sure u take the plastic wrapper off of it.!

I change mine every 6 months but it depends on the hardness of your water. The filter can not be serviced. I usually recycle it with my plastics.

I haven't had to replace mine as yet (just got it last week). But I will check Amazon for pre-filter and filter. I just checked and Amazon carries the filters for $33.

BTW, the plastic frame pops apart. You can take the top of the frame off, pull the old filter out, push a new filter into the frame, pop the top back on, and reinstall the frame - it takes 10 minutes at most.

I checked the instructions that came with the filter and could not find anything that stated the plastic caps were BPA free. You may want to contact the manufacturer at forever@peani.com. I didn't see anything on their website either (forever.peani.com).

The filter is on the bottom of the unit and can be replaced with just your hands. The filter is a simple pinch and pull it out of the bottom and to replace push in the new one. I don't know how often the filter needs replaced but I use it monthly minimum since Aug 2013 and the filter is still fine.

I think the filter and cartridge are one and the same. You turn off the main water valve, unscrew the plastic housing, remove the old filter/cartridge and insert the new one. How often you do this would depend on how much particulate you have in your water supply. With our well water we replaced the filter every three months.

Filter housing is located inside the refrigerator top left. It may be located in different areas on different models. Just unscrew the old filter and pull out, then insert new filter and screw into place.

You replace the whole unit. No filter here! After using this for 6 months, I switched to the Aquasana AQ-4105 which filters more stuff out and does have replaceable filters (but they cost about $20 more than the unit listed here every six months)

I think that's the membrane I use for mine. Keep in mind that's the membrane, so it doesn't need replaced as often as the filters.

The filter is replaceable but since it's brand new, we haven't bought one yet. Amazon sells the filters though.

Not sure. Don't think it is really intended to replace. Just clean it. I want to stress that if you have pet fur that it does tend to collect quickly on the filter, long before the cup is full. You have to empty/scrape filter with some frequency.

I haven't replaced my filter yet. However I plan on using generic filler filters from Home Depot. The kind you just cut to size.

I don't believe so. Where I used to live the water flow through the filter would reduce greatly after about a month so I would then go ahead and replace. Where I live now the flow is still strong and it's been about two months but I'll probably go ahead and replace it within the next couple weeks.

I haven't yet had to replace the filter. I don't use it that much. My filter is a permanent filter and I just empty it in the trash when I use it.
