How often do you have to change the filter, where do you get them and how much do they cost?

Depends how much you use it. I was only using mine at night, and the filter lasted almost a year.

The HEPA Filter should last one year. The carbon (black) filters last about 3 months, depending on use. They sell the HEPA with 4 carbon filters for around $66 on Amazon. Look up 115115.

Depends on how often you run the machine...I run mine about 12 hours per day and I change the filters about every 18 months.

They come with a filter, but I bought some extra ones for replacements. I change the filter about every 6 weeks or so.

Like anything sooner or later the filters will need to be replaced. I have 2 of these units and one is close to 3 years old and the filter is just fine. The replacement costs are over $200 so you make sure you give the crank a twist after use (at leaf daily when the machine has been used). Also, make sure that you do not let your lower bags completely fill. Empty them when they reach the 3/4 level.

if you keep the filters cleaned on a regular schedule they should last for many years. check your cleaning requirements (very simple and easy to do)

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)

you have to replace filter once awhile. Depends on your air quality. I do it every 6 - 8 months. Just buy the matching homeimage filter on Amazon.

These are replacement filters for the suggested 1 year maintenance, I haven't heard of any "new" filter designs. I'd also consider stretching the timeline, depending on the quality of your water. You may realize you won't need to switch filters as often as Ispring recommends.

I haven't yet had to replace the filter. I don't use it that much. My filter is a permanent filter and I just empty it in the trash when I use it.

Hi Maria, The filters need to be changed once a year for a home or small business usage. For a medium sized business (10 or more employees), you'd typically change the filters twice a year. The cost for both filters is $49.95. They are being put on Amazon in the next several days. They were waiting for new product photos. You will be able to buy them when it's time to change the filters for sure. Thank you.

I would say it depends on the conditions at your home. We live up in the mountains where it is very dusty, so we check it at least once a month. We'll change it based on the amount of dust on the filter paper. We can generally go a couple of months before having to change it out.

We buy our replacements through Amazon. If you're looking for the prefilter, you can buy the generic filters and cut to fit with a pair of scissors....MUCH cheaper! Both filters can also be vacuumed clean, so you don't have to replace as often. They are also available at Home Depot.

We recommend the customer to replace the first 3 stage once every year and the cost of the filter-set is $39. The cost to replace all 5 filters cost $119 and we recommend to replace them once every 3 to 5 years.

You change it every three months. I purchased this after looking at others without filters. Totally good value .

The hepa filters do NOT last as long as they say! I must change mine every 3-4 months $$$$

I haven't had to replace mine as yet (just got it last week). But I will check Amazon for pre-filter and filter. I just checked and Amazon carries the filters for $33.
