Is it true that light indicating "change water filter" has nothing to do with whether the filter needs to be changed or not - just a timer? Thanks!

From what was told to me from "repairmen" ...can push button next to green light, several times to reset ...light to green ....and definitely if the water tastes "funny", change filter. Manufacture recommendation is ..."change every 6 months"...but I personally am @ the 10-month "mark" and light is still green and water has no "funny' taste ... I recommend have a new filter "on hand" ..just be proactive/preventive ...

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.)

The display will light up only when you filter the water. You also need to run the water for ~1-2 minutes so it get calibrated (light will turn on) . In the instructions you should have all the details.

According to the instruction booklet filter should last approximately 2 months depending on the water quality. When I first got the machine light for filter change was coming on every 2 weeks. I replaced the filter but than the same issue occurred 2 weeks later, so I just reset it without actually changing the filter. Since that time I had to send the machine in for repair (that's a whole another story) and since I got it back I have not had the filter light come on yet... it has been about a month or so.

When you open the new filter, you will find a new battery in there too. The battery is responsible for thelittle light that changes from green to red when the filter needs to be replaced. I change mine much more often than you. Good luck.

Hi, if you were talking about "water" filter, YES you should change it as often as you want. If you look at it, it will show you just how "clean" your water is. A common reason is RUST ! Hot water in pipes has a sediment of rust particles. Even when cold only is turned on, particles move in pipes and may be sent thru water system. Check top of filter for "rust", easily seen if problem exists. Maybe you are lucky and have "clean pipes" !! LOL

Battery included powers the filter change light and is in a slide panel behind the filter. The light on the faucet blinks when it is time to change the filter, usually in 6 months or so. I'm not sure if it clocks usage or just time.

I have had my machine 4 years. I take the filter (located in lower left of water bin-in the hole that takes in water) out on a regular basis and clean it. If I forget about it the machine will show ADD WATER LIGHT when there is plenty of water in the bin and the filter is too clogged to suck in water. I take a butter knife and pop it out of the center of the hole. I do not know where or if you can buy replacements but I still use the original that came with my machine.

To be honest I have yet to change the filter. I clean the bowl with every filling and the water looks clear, so I'm not that concerned. They didn't have "filtered" water before, so if I see one next time I'm at the pet store I'll pick one up, but it's not on my list of necessities.

Not sure what you are asking. My experience is system was running fine without a filter change after two years. I took the battery out of the unit just because I knew I would not change the filters after only 6 months. When I did change the filters recently, there was no change in the water flow. Hope this helps.

Depends on the faucet you have installed. Some faucets have a "filter life" indicator which tells you when to replace.

Yes, you'll need to change it every month or so. The meter indicator will tell you when to change it. Very easy to change & filters are not expensive

A calendar sticker comes with the dispenser, along with a marker that estimates the date to change (about 3 months after installation). But I guess it also depends on how unclean the water is. I wouldn't recommend using for longer than they recommend because seeing the buildup of sediments in the filter is scary!

I haven't had that issue but I think I still can help. Your fridge should have an indicator when the filter needs to be changed, BUT if it doesn't, then on average, every 3 to 4 months is what I use for a guide. However, I HAVE discovered that there are times when the water speed is very slow, & not strong, however even though the indicator isn't showing the need for a change, if I change the filter the flow is perfect again. So, I reckon you should try changing it if it's been about 3 - 4 mos. If that doesn't help the ice poduction for you, I'd check with the manufacturer. Guess they just don't make 'em like they used to. Hope that helped you.

I don't really have an answer but I have replaced my filter twice and it did not run black either time. The instructions said to run it several times prior to drinking the water. My guess is that whatever made it run black also quickly clogged the filter causing the replace filter light to come on.

Hi KP, I am not sure of your question, are you using this kind of Filter for the first time or have you used these before. There are two outlets of any of such household filters, one is Unfiltered water which is very fast and bigger volume. Another is filtered outlet, which only let's water out in a slow tiny volume depending on your faucet pressure. The tiny outlet is triggered only when the switch in front is turned 90. Degrees to your right.

I have a indicator light on my unit, it lights up when needs to be cleaned, I say I replace the filter every 3 months
