Can I take the filter off and put it back on? (How often do you think?)

This comes with plastic-tape pieces, that affix to the sides to keep the screen on. I didn't use them as I wanted the ability to remove it when I wanted. I was able to keep my screen straight or lightly tilted for viewing, however it was removable.

Yes you can. There are tabs that you attach to the sides of the screen that the filter slides in and out of. I take mine off regularly.

No problem - you can remove it as often as you like. You just want to keep it as clean as possible; removing it will expose the back of the filter to dust.

Remove the filler tank and locate the filter at the bottom of the rubber tube. You should be able to easily pull it off. It not, just take some scissors and clip it off as close to the filter as possible. Hope this helps you. Mine is still working fine and does what it is supposed to do.

I have gotten away with not changing it for about two months. BUT that required me to keep the unit dust - free and clean on the inside as well s the outside. It also depends on how often you' re using it. If you use it constantly. then you will have to plan on changing the filter every month for sure.

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.

I know that happens with me when I don't take it apart and clean it. I have gotten in the habit of cleaning it every month to month and a half when I change the filter. I take the front off, clean the inside, and clean the area around it. I hope this helps!

I've had mine for two years & haven't replaced the filter yet. So, I don't know. It depends on how much you use it I guess.

We do it about once a month. Your circumstances may be different. When it gets overburdened you will see dust on the wall. And, we don't chance it every time. You can often "skate" once or twice by removing the filter and brushing the front and rear surface. The front cover can also be washed.Hope this helps.

I think that's the membrane I use for mine. Keep in mind that's the membrane, so it doesn't need replaced as often as the filters.

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.

Honestly it seems like every time you use it the filter gathers dust and you just wipe it off with your hand *Think lint brush here*. As soon as it's clean you're done. in terms of replacing it. Hmmm who knows...seems like it should hold up for quite a long time. If not you can replace it for like $5 on their website or make your own.

Yes. Take a rod and insert it into the threaded end of the housing - tap the back cover off. It will come off easly. Remove the foam filter and clean it (or replace it) Then put the filter back into the housing, tap in down. and you're ready to go.

So far our filter has been holding up pretty good. I haven't had the chance to change it yet. Sorry.

Just changed the filter a few times. Haven't tried to take apart and reassemble yet.

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.

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