when do I change the filter?

About every two months depending how much it's used. Or when the measure meter on top goes down to 0%. You have to set it at the beginning of use

First of all the cleaner the filter, the faster it filters. When it is new, it will filter the full amount in about 6 hours. After the filter gets some use, it will take a bit longer. I take mine out and wash them every 3-4 months and change them once a year.

When I bought a new pitcher it showed a schedule of how often to change the filters, it shows every 2 months. I write it on my calendar so I don't forget.

I don't know if there is a set time for changing filters. I began to notice that, even after cleaning my filters, there was a particular odor when I used my vacuum. I ordered and changed my filters and now my vacuum works more efficiently and the odor is gone.

Very good question - there is no way to change the filter so no way to know. We've just kept ours on for years and hope it's still doing the job.

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.

We've never changed the filters. The hepa filter hasn't needed it yet and the foam one we just clean with soapy water and dry with a blow dryer and reuse. Sorry I couldn't be or more help.

Generally, you should change your 1/2", 1" and 2" air filters every 30, 60, or 90 days; the 4", 5" and 6" air filters should be changed every 3 to 6 months, depending on your environment. Thanks, Jessica

The pitcher can't "tell" when the filter is getting old. It's just a sensor in the lid that senses how many times it's been removed, etc. So it 'guesses' when its time to replace the filter. Holding down the button resets that counter to zero so do it when you put a new, fresh filter in and the light will give you an estimate on when to change the filter. I tend to use the filter at least a month after the light goes red.

We change our filters every 6 months, which is the recommended time. There are only 2 of us in the household, so it might be necessary to change it more often--or less--depending on number of people on the system. I would not want to wait until I noticed a change in water taste or quality. Why take a chance of getting a case of the trots?

According to the user manual the filter should be changed when the little beads turn tan/brown (it was several months before my filter turned from blue/green to tan). I didn't change my filter when I first noticed the color change and my steam mop didn't work properly(started leaking). Once I changed the filter it worked fine.

I change them a little longer that the recommended times. We use the filtered water only for cooking and related things. There are two time frames: One filter will last one year plus and the other two should be changed every 6 months. As I said we try to wait a little longer. Maybe 8 months for the two and 14- to 16 months on the one. It really depends on use and the quality of your water.

Yes, there is a filter in the unit. I also purchased an extra filter to be prepared when it's time to change it. From other posts on Amazon, I believe the original filter lasts about a year. I've had it for about 6 months and haven't had to change it yet. Hope that helps!

There is no external measure for determining when to change the filter. So I change it on a schedule basis, every 3 months.

I have been cleaning the equipment each time the water starts tasting different. I change filters according to time, but if for some reason, the water continues to take differently, then I would replace it earlier. There isn't any type of indicator on the equipment, just your own site, taste, and time.

Everpure recommends that the filter be changed once a year. To help you remember, they include a water filter monitor, which you activate upon installation. Basically, it's a countdown timer. When the time expires, an alarm will sound. Hope this helps.
