How often do you change the pellets? The pads?

I find with my two cats I follow the 1/week for pads and 1/month for litter, like the company recommends with 1 cat. The pad is really full at the end of the week, but still holds everything. Your kitties might pee more, which would mean changing the pad a little more. I find the pellets start smelling around the 3.5 week mark, so 4 weeks works great.

The unit has a timer that reminds you to change the filter every 6 months. I changed the filter for the first time this month (I've only had my GermGuardian 6 months) but after I did I realized the filter wasn't all that dirty, probably could have easily been wiped off and would have lasted at least another 3 months. We have a large dog but live in Seattle where there's not a TON of dust in the air. We run it 24/7 on medium.

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.

The package says every month, but i remove mine and spray wash every week or so when it gets clog to extend the life because i feed my fish every day. I think you should change every 4weeks for best results. i hope that this answers your question.

I would use 2 or 3 packets. That is how many I use in ammo cans that are about the same size. Maybe change them once a year depending on the humidity and if you seal the boxes with duct tape.

if you break-up the flakes some it helps. You can also feed twice - 4 times a day but will probably run down battery pretty quick. I use both flakes and pellets combined in mine so they will at least get fed something since I am home only one per week to every other week.

I just leave them until I do a whole pellet replacement. The pellets dry it out so you shouldn't have any odor.

Four or five at a time, once or twice a day. Feed one pellet at a time. Mine loses excitement around the 5th one.

Cheaper dog pads may work but not sure how using different pellets would workout.. You don't want to get something that's going to go through and fall to the bottom

I have two cats and replace the pellets when I feel they are "getting old". Sometimes I replace them more than once a month and sometimes not. I do tend to add pellets when they are getting low. I don't notice that they smell or retain odor but as I said, sometimes they seem to need changing.

You could get close to that number but the number of pellets will vary. What I do is change the slot space and hit the feed buttton over a paper on the table and keep repeating the process till I get the desired amount.

i have an adult turtle that eats the pellets once a day. I filled it halfway two weeks ago and set the opening at halfway and it's still going.

I have changed mine about once every 3 months however I'm using the same fragrance on each pad per fan but I don't run mine every day, probably about 3-4 days a week for about 8hrs each time. If the pad starts getting dirty then change more often because the fan is pulling up air through the bottom and if pad is dirty the fan doesn't work as well. If you are refilling the same fragrance oil onto pad every 15-30 days then you probably will have to change pads during a 90 - 120 day period because after awhile the pad gets sticky. I use pure essential oils since they last longer and have a more pure scent. Love my fans!

Is the smell from the pad or the pellets? I don't notice anything...but only 1 cat, change the pad 1x a week, and change the pellets 1x month. With more cats, need to change everything more often, or have more than one box (w/ 2 cats, I had two boxes, but maintained the 1x week/1x month schedule).

I never cleaned or replaced them and used it for about four months fairly hard. I did not need it any more and sold it to a friend who uses it and still works great with origanl pads. It is a great product and would suggest it.

I usually change them about once a month. I rinse them off when I change the fountain once a week. Sometimes I get longer.

Yes that quantity is correct. 10 pkg (4 pads/pkg). 40 total. I just noticed another one of my other cats is now using the box too! I noticed the reply from Janice regarding pads and pellets. Totally agree about the pellets. I don't change the pellets that often either . I think changing the pad is the where the majority of the odor is ...changing it week only is the secret for me .. But they only pee in this box. It was a great purchase... Thinking about buying another for upstairs.Good luck! Hope it works for you as well as it does for my cats!
