The dehumidifier has a light that reminds your to clean filter after the unit runs for certain # of hours.

its reusable filter wash it off with water, if you have it running 24/7 i would check it once a month with your HVAC filter as it can get full of dust and kill the unit faster.

I would say it depends on the conditions at your home. We live up in the mountains where it is very dusty, so we check it at least once a month. We'll change it based on the amount of dust on the filter paper. We can generally go a couple of months before having to change it out.

There are three filters One permanent, two replaceable. You should "clean" and re-use the initial filter monthly depending on the work load. I haven't had this unit very long so I just take the front cover off and visually check the filter. The cover is very easy to remove & replace. The other two filters are expected to last around 18 months. They have to be replaced, not cleaned. When the cover is off there are a series of led lights telling you the condition of the filters. By the way, removal and replacement of the filters is really easy.

Usually every 6 months or so depending on usage. The machine will tell you when the filter needs changing

I would clean and do a full water change once a week. The filters are easy to find on amazon for cheap too and should be changed out every 6 weeks or so. Other than full water change and just wiping down with a paper towel, it's a pretty low maintenance tank.

Clean the filter after each use, or when the Neato tells you to. As for replacing the filter, I purchased a set of spares and rotate the use of them, allowing me to always have a clean, dry filter in case my little "dumbot" fills up before finishing the job.

The prefilter gets pretty dusty - in a pinch you can vacuum it, but it generally needs to be swapped out about 3 or 4 times a year. I've replaced the HEPA filter after about 2 yrs .

Filter needs to be changed every 6 months or so - but realistically, I haven't done that yet and it seems to still work well. I run the machine on automatic every morning.

It was my understanding that the filters lasted the life of the machine. I clean it once a week with a vacuum cleaner...use the brush attachment.

I only needed to replace mine at most, once a month. I would say it really depends on if you leave the filter on when you feed your fish. By turning it off during feeding, I could sometimes go 2-3 months before changing it.

This filter requires no additional maintenance, but it is recommended for hard water. If you already have filtered water or use distilled water, you won't need this filter. The directions say to change the filter every 30- 40 fill-ups. To me, that sounds like a lot. If you use the machine every day, you'll have to replace the filter in about a month and a half, and that can just get too expensive! I wanted to return my filter, but the return shipping was just outrageous, so I've kept it and will use it but not order replacements! Hope this helps!

Depends on use. I replace mine every 6 months. But I also keep my hot tub very clean and wash filter every month.

Is this the first time you've used the unit? If so, I wonder if you didn't install it correctly...? On the other hand, if you've been using the filter for some time, it probably needs to be cleaned. Remove the filter, let it dry, then scrub with sandpaper, rinse in plain water, then re-install. At least, that's what I do when the filter stops working. Eventually, I need to buy a new filter.

In my opinion the filter does get dirty fairly quickly...I try to use a brush and get most of the stuff off of it myself rather than replacing every couple months.

I do not believe you will have to replace it. The part that removes the bad stuff is a 0.1 Micron absolute hollow fiber membrane inline filter so there is nothing that will get old. Also all you have to do to clean it is back flush it. For the price it is a great filter.

Typically, we'll clean the filter/pad about once a month (during the season) by rinsing it out. For each new season, we purchase a new filter/pad...as they tend to harden over time; particularly if you have hard water. Also, take a dampened cloth over the exterior and interior to remove any water scaling is helpful. Hope that helps...

Honestly it seems like every time you use it the filter gathers dust and you just wipe it off with your hand *Think lint brush here*. As soon as it's clean you're done. in terms of replacing it. Hmmm who knows...seems like it should hold up for quite a long time. If not you can replace it for like $5 on their website or make your own.
