How often should you change your filters?

There is no standard length of time. What generally stops up the filter is ear wax, and people produce differing amts of wax. I've worn my aids for several yrs and I rarely change mine, no more than every 3-4 mos. But I have replaced one in a wk or so, just whenever it clogs with wax. The aid will let you know when the filter needs changing; the volume will drop off or disappear entirely. You think it is the battery, but a new one will not help. If you replace the battery and the sound is very low, or mute, then replace the filter. It generally works.

It will vary with the seasons of the year and with your own physical conditions but about twice a month during allergy season and maybe every month or two otherwise.

Depending on how much wax you have in your ears. If you look in the center of the filters it should look clear. I change mine every 2 weeks.

No set rule. I change them when my hearing is not as good as it should be ..... like when they are new. If you can see they are full of ear wax then time to change them. I change mine at least with a battery replacement. Hope this helps.

I change all the filters once per year with the exception of the membrane. That one is good for three years.

Every 6. month's but make sure it's the correct filter because the one I. ppurchased in December was shipped with the wrong filter it blew dust out. replaced with right filter this is my second one. That's why I purchased this one, the last one lasted fir 10 years. It ran 24 hours 7days a week nonstop.

Hi . I usually change the filter ones a month when you do the water changes but don't do it together first hoy can change the filter and wait about a week and then do the water change

I have only had the unit for about 3 -4 weeks but there is a indicator on the unit that will tell you when to change filter. I do not know if this helps.

I've owned a unit about two years. I replaced the filter after year 1 and just replaced it the second time. The unit seemed to work OK, but the filter does get a little "grungy". I'd say replace at least once a year (I only run the unit during the winter and early Spring months-November to April)

The filter can be changed either 6 months or a year, but you must remove the front panel and vacuum off any debris about every 2 months, depending on how dirty it gets will determine how often you have to do this.

I change the water every week and rinse the filter. So once a month I change the filter unless it looks dirty before.

With this particular filter, we change it every three months, I hope this helps :)

It depends on how much stuff you have in the air (I have a lot!) but the recommendation is to replace the black filter every 3 months and the big white one annually.

The instructions state the filter should need to be changed every 6 Months. I bought mine in December 2012 and have not changed the filter yet. The unit has four lights that indicate when the filter needs to be changed. Mine is only on the second light indicator. I run the unit 24/7 on the second of four speeds, and wash the foam pre-filter every month.

Naturally, it depends on how much you use it, but we get at least a month or two out of each filter. We can tell by the taste when it needs to be changed.

I replace mine once a month. You could probably go a bit longer if you don't have hard water and if you clean the humidifier once a week as recommended. I do a thorough clean only once a month and replace the filter at that time since it gets all gunky from both the dust it sucks in and the hard water build-up.

The best practice is to change it every 8 to 12 months. Even flowing strongly after that time filter could have lost part of its filtering properties.

This filter is intended to be changed every 12 to 24 months. It is recommended that the average household change it every 12 months for optimal performance and 18 months for optimal value.

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.

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.)
