How long does it filter last? How many gallons? Thanks!

It lasted me about 6 months. It is really handy to be able to switch back and forth for filtered/non-filtered water. I only used the filtered for drinking.

It averages about 3 months. Also, I experience issues with the faucet mount spraying when the filter is activated.

Hi, it says in the Ad that it can filter enough water to sustain a family of four up to a year. We have only had this about six months and the filter is doing great with no signs of slowing down. I can tell you that this does work great!

The filter lasts about 4 months. This is much longer than previous filters I have used. Also, it depends on how much water you use. I make coffee with mine and use it for drinking water.

If the filter is still in the original packaging it wont just poof expire. But the filter inside the unit does need replaced after use I find after about 30-50 gallons of water but have been told as low as 25 and as high as 100 gallons. I think its one of those if the water is clean it pumps more water and the closer you use it together time wise the more it pumps but not exactly sure. Remember to always carry iodine pills for backup.

Dupont makes 2 filters one is 100 gallons and the other is 200 gallons. How long it lasts is in direct proportion to how much water that it has to filter.

Uses 4 filters at once, so it filters faster. Each filter filters 3000 gallons (I called the company to confirm by the time I want to purchase it). So, just change the filters after 12,000 gallons filtered. Another tip I wished I knew before, be patience with the taste. Just after three full filtration I finally got the amazing and fresh water taste. I have been using it for about two month for all the cooking and drinking, love it. It is worth each dollar and all the research I did.

Length of time. I think it's one year. It's just a stick on timer. It gets no info from the filter.

the 200 gallon size filter will filter 200 gallons so you have to gauge your family's water usage to predict when you hit 200. I have had my filter for 6 months now and have only filter 116 gallons of water and I only use it for drinking

I personally ignore the light indicator. Changing the filter really depends on how much you use it. The filter is good for 100 gallons of water or 1,600 8oz cups. Usually last for about 3 months again depending on how often you are running water threw it. Hope this helps.

This video states that it can filter up to 5 gallons an hour. If you are getting performance less than that, you either need to prime the filter before using it OR back flush it to make sure it's clean after extensive use. I'm sure that height of the gray water bucket makes a difference too. Here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjIVoaIdsss

Filters around 1 million gallons, honest. It works though. tried it on the waters in Bangladesh and Maldives (filtered salt water) still works great. Don't squeeze the bag too hard, too fast. I'm finding they sprout leaks quicker with the force used...FYI

I have always used 2 filters at the time.For two people they usualy last about 70 gallons(36 cents/gallon). It depends on the reading you get on the tester from your tap water. Mine is about 240 ppm.I am thinking of purchasing right now a Berkey filter unit. They are a little more expensive but a set of 2 filters($107) works for about 600 gallons(18 cents/gallon). You also have an option for an extra set of filters to remove arsenic and fluoride. Check out their website at www.bigberkeywaterfilters.com.I hope this will help. Drinking clean water is very important.

I use the filter to slow contamination. With filtered water the internal filter will last a long time. You didn't include the dimensions in question but it is taller than deeper, and deeper than wide. Hope that helps.

I believe its 500 gallon or 6 month filter. I change mine every 6 months even though I don't use nearly the 500 gal. limit You can tell by taste when the filter is going bad.

depends on how often you run it and how dirty your air is. Seems like mine lasted about 9 months being run daily. You just wash the pre filter

Just to kinda help you out. I have a 75 gallon aquarium. I also have a fluval 406 canister filter. I use 2 350ml of purigen and it last for 6-7 months. It's not specific to gallons. It's based on how cloudy/discolored/dirty your tank is. 2 bags of 100ml would last me maybe 2 months.

5 year warranty on the shower head itself. what it means it can filter up to 10,000 gallons of water, or 6 months whichever comes first, we have 2 to 3 people useing our shower head, we have had it the first 6 months and replaced the filter, its all going to depend on how many people are useing it, on when you should replace it, we have really hard water, so we change ours every 6 months, works out great, i swear by that filter :)
