The literature on filter replacement ranges from 3-6 months and even mentions 40,000 gallons. What is the correct answer as filters are expensive.

I'm checking my water bill usage and going by 44,000 gallons. They don't indicate the amount of people in the household for assuming 6 months.

The reason there is a range is because everyone's situation is different. Think 40,000 gallons but what if your water isn't as hard as others or it could be more. Or if you have 2 people or 6 people in the same dwelling. If you have very hard water change it sooner.

I think manufacturer recommends every 2-5 years for membrane (we can usually tell because the water flow decreases), other filters are every 6 months. Check out this link: http://www.premierh2o.com/filter-replacement-guide

Of course it is whichever comes earlier. But the one I have right now I have been using for four months and the water still tastes fine. I definitely have not used 40 gal through it yet.I do not know what the shelf life of the new filters is, but I think they are just carbon based so it should be a long time.

Hello Shelley, I often change the filters around 6 month and 1 year, this depends for the PH of water, I measure the PH if this drop down about 6, I change the filter.

Not sure why you are asking me how long this filter lasts. It was a disappointment from the beginning. I would not recommend it regardless of length of life

The filters last more long than, but i personally change it every time I notice the water pressure of the filtered water decreases which usually happens after 5-6 months but it also depends on how much water you drink a day

The filter lasted approx. 6 months. It would all depend on the quality of your water. This one was used in an apt. setting with city water, so I thought is was well worth the money.

The packaging suggested use for 40 hours, or 30 days after opening the sealed plastic wrapping, whichever comes first. My experience was that there was no visible change in the filter during this time. I got a marker and wrote the date on the filter so that I would know when to replace them.

The unit figures that out for you depending upon how you use it and at what speed. My filters seem to last about 9 months or so.

In their website they mention that the filter can last up to 3 months = 300 gallons. If I were you I would change the filter every 6 months just in case. And to be sure take daily measurements during one week to see how many gallons you need daily for drinking and cooking. That will give you a pretty good estimate on how much time the filter would last based on your needs.

The manufacture recommends replacing the filter every 6 months period. Personally, I replace the filter every 3 to 4 months. For your information, most water filter manufacturers including 3M recommends replacing filter every 3 months.

I don't have the product literature in front of me, but usually these things can go 3 months or so before the filter is changed out, especially if the water is kept clean. Filter longevity will depend on your water and how much stuff the pets might drag into it.

Depending on the amount of use, your filters should last 3-6 months easily. You can greatly extend the life of the filter by using a small hand vacuum or dust blower to clean the filter regularly.

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.

I've had mine for two years & haven't replaced the filter yet. So, I don't know. It depends on how much you use it I guess.

As I use only distilled water, I usually change my filter approx. every 3 - 4 months. Hope this is helpful to you.

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.
