When I bought the system it said on the box that for a family of 4 the filter should last about 1 year or something like that - now depending also of usage. I would at least change it once a year even twice in fact as I got more filters with my last order.

There is no marker on the unit. I place the date unit was installed on top of the unit with a small piece of tape to tell me when the filter should be replaced. You should replace the filter one time a year to keep flow rate going at full stream and to keep the filter and container clean.

We have a lot of iron in our water. When the water changes color or gets foggy and/or flow slows down.

There isn't a marker or indicator. However, the water flow will slow down. I change mine about once a year.

No, there is no indicator but that would be nice. You just have to replace after 12-18 months depending on your usage

See my review a few weeks ago - my cartridge worked right away, perfectly. I cannot remember a strip. I hove two more cartridges but do not want to break their seals to investigate. Take the cartridge, look for a strip on it - that's what I would do. Good luck. RORIDORY

I hope you kept your packaging. This happened to me and I learned the hard way that if the cartridge is beyond the expiration date, it will not work! The expiration date is on the outside of the original box. So it is critical you check the date before you open the box and install a cartridge that will not work!

Are you sure you replaced the yellow and not another color by mistake? Is the new cartridge empty?

Can't say. Been working fine on mine without a hitch. On the third "replace cartridge" notification and reset with no issues...

The newer cartridges have micro chips which maybe need to be reset I found ask.com and tube helpful

try running a print head clean with a new cartridge, otherwise you may need a new print head

I actually have had this same situation with other laser printers, other brands....think it may just be a built-in reminder to have a replacement on hand. I simply continue to use the cartridge until it is fully empty but I do have my replacement on hand and ready. I may look at it differently but I don't see it as a complaint...am VERY pleased with the overall usage and the COST of usage.

I've been trying to find the same thing out for myself. An empty cartridge that I can refill? Anyone have any input?

I would think so. I just had a message last night to change one of the cartridges and it stopped in the middle of a job and didn't start printing until I had replaced that cartridge. BTW, gotta say this has become my favorite printer.

I replaced the cartridge few months ago still printing I am unable to tell you how long is going to last I used it on a daily basis.

My cartridge was dated 8-2015, you would have to contact the seller direct to see what the date is on any other cartridge.

Save yourself further headache and return it and buy new cartridges. Thats what i had to do

Take it out and gently shake the cartridge. Try it again. If not, the cartridge might be defective and you need to return it.

The date on the outside of the cartridge is NOT the expiration date. That is the warranty date. Please do your research people.

you will need to replace the fuej cartridge when it is empty the pads you need to judge for your self when it looks like it is used up change it, these things are great.

Missing colours sounds like a clogged printhead. As for the cartridge...I don't know why
