How often do I need to buy a replacement filter?

This is a nice product- filter supposedly last for like 1000 gallons I think. After buying, I realized (and made) a model better suited to me constructed from a few inexpensive matching plastic pitchers (nest them) and just buy the filter- save some cash and it works better for traveling and compact cirumstances than the stainless that only travels well when broken down and not in use.

We recommend changing the filter every 6 to 8 months. However, the filter life will depend upon the environment in which it is used.

I find that changing that filter every 12 to 18 mos. is plenty to keep the water clean and fresh. As others have said, the company says annually, but they are making money more often that way. The filter I bought here is exactly the same except it has a lower price. What is not to love about that? (put masking tape on your filter and put the date your new one should be installed right on the filter casing.)

I think they officially want you to replace them every 6 months but I usually replace them around once a year. It depends on your usage. I have it hooked up to a below counter ice maker & also a drinking water dispenser above counter. When the water starts running slow on the dispenser I replace the filter.

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

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.

According to their website, filters should be replaced every 6 months. We've been using ours since 9/2012 and haven't replaced the filter yet. The water is still tasting good. Your water usage would effect how often the filter needs replacing.

On the old models I changed every 30 days. This one, with filter A, says it will last 3-6 months. I haven't had this one long enough to know for sure.

Really clean the filter or replace it. We need to clean the filter at least every two weeks of use.

I change it every 6-8 weeks and I buy them from Amazon. Since the water sits out for approximately a week (unlike our human water), it's a good idea to use the filters.

I assume you are referring to the Reverse Osmosis membrane filter. That needs to be replaced too, but not as often as the other filters. I think the normal replacement period is between 2 and 5 years, depending on your water quality. They used to be very expensive, but the prices have come down a lot in the past few years. You can buy the R.O. membrane filter directly from the seller.

I have had mine for a little over a year with no wear and tear. I wouldn't be surprised if the filter lasts for another 2 years. I put it through its paces, using it every other day for a few mins and for extended periods while cleaning once a month.

if you keep the filters cleaned on a regular schedule they should last for many years. check your cleaning requirements (very simple and easy to do)

I find one site that sells cartridges (houzz.com) says "Each filter cartridge should be replaced within 45 to 60 days depending on usage. Today I talked to the UnitedStatesian distributor (not the Amazon distributor in Canada), and he says it's good for roughly 6-8 months showering 2 times a day.

I got them here on amazon. You'd be surprised how long the filters last. I see 10 clue st a day on average and a filter will last me a out a month.

I just purchased this item so don't know how long it will last. The instruction manual states the filter should last 6 to 9 months. I would guess that depends on usage. I use mine about 2 to 3 times a week and for a short period of time.
