Do I need a filter after the unit?

No, water is fully filtered, but if running a hard water filter (as I have) system you need to have this unit firs in line.

No filter after the unit. It helps if you can have a filter before the unit. But regardless, the backwash will take care of it every few days.

As far as I've seen, you shouldn't need a filter after the unit. We have one anyway, to catch anything that goes through during the backwash process (while the unit is not filtering the water).

Mine came with an extra filter that was included in the box. It's to replace when the first one gets old.

You replace the whole unit. No filter here! After using this for 6 months, I switched to the Aquasana AQ-4105 which filters more stuff out and does have replaceable filters (but they cost about $20 more than the unit listed here every six months)

Typically they come with two of the actual filters. When the one in the unit gets too much stuff in it, turn it inside out and use a soft bristle toothbrush to scrape most of the filtered mess into the trash. Then put the clean one in the unit and throw the dirty one in your next load of wash (still inside out). When the load of wash is done just hang out the filter to dry (not to insult your intelligence but don't try them in the dryer.)

How about reading the manual. It's online. Pull out the water container. Reach in and pull the filter down. It is towards the the front of the unit. Wash, dry and replace.

Normally not. The unit has a onboard filter included. You can always call us at 1 800 560-0436 to consult with a representative about your water quality.

The unit itself does not have a filter. However, the unit accepts "pods" such as those of Senseo that don't require filters. These filters are also highly economic, as they have a very low cost

Only one is needed, but I talked with my friend who installed the exact same model 10 years ago and he didn't install a filter. He never has had any problems, so didn't install mine either and I haven't noticed any build-up.

No not that I know of. I had it installed by a professional but I didn't see any filter.

No filter... MY unit arrived with a container of oil to be added to the engine before operation... I chose to use a synthetic oil.

You most likely will need a filtering box to make it work. That is what I am using and it works great!

there is one included to run the unit, but once the filter is full it will eventually need to be replaced

Hi Sir, I checked the model of my unit and searched based on that for the filter. if you check the model number for the unit you have it should give you the info for the filter you need. I may still have the box at home and if so I can post that for you if that will help.

Yes I had a similar issue when I changed the filter. Call the sevice and they will help you.

I guess you can call it a filter. As far as I know, you don't need anything additional. The directions are not user friendly.

From what I understand you can use either filter in the unit. I love mine. I'm using the one that came with it currently, but then bought the better filter in a six pack at Costco.
