Does it use a filter? I don't see any mention of filters. If so, how much are they, how often do they need replacing?

It has two filters: silver ion and a ceramic sphere filter (it's the rounded protrusion you see sticking up in the tank in the photo). The silver ion just needs to be wiped clean occasionally and the ceramic one will get cleaned when you do seasonal maintenance. Neither need to be replaced and are very low maintenance to keep clean.

There are no filters. I have had this system for 2.5 years and bought one for my husband last summer. It works great unless you put a hole in the mattress.

I've only used it a few times, but I know it has a Hepa filter that can be replaced when needed. The other filter can be cleaned. Hope this is helpful.

Hello- I haven't had to replace anything yet. I use this at our place at the beach. The only thing I've had to do so far is vacuum the filter. That says a lot considering our place is beachfront and the wind is constantly blowing dust and sand into any possible opening it can find.

Mine came w/a filter. I would expect based on use that I will then purchase them from now on. Very Quiet, BTW. Wishing You The Best!

It should have a washable filter if not you need to contact Amazon. You can order a pre filter separate.

No filters needed. The water container must be cleaned out periodically which has a built in filter (screen).

A pair of filters are included. However, since it will likely be run frequently or continuously during the winter, you should obtain some more. They will probably have to be replaced every two months.

It requires one filter. Availability and duration of use may be as stated by the others, but I had a huge problem changing the filters - since one has to unscrew the outer cover & mine stuck tight. Since it is all plastic, there is no place to grip it. Maybe this was a problem only I had, but it was a killer.

It comes with filter already in. Easy put together, just plug in and start using. You will need to buy replacement filters but they last for a year.

Since there is no "replacement" (I woud also like to know where to specially order a filter to replace the original one), would you happen to know any video tutorials on how to clean it? I thought i read in the instructions that you were not supposed to wash it. You are only permitted to vacuum the filter?

Yes, there is a filter in the unit. I also purchased an extra filter to be prepared when it's time to change it. From other posts on Amazon, I believe the original filter lasts about a year. I've had it for about 6 months and haven't had to change it yet. Hope that helps!

Yes, it needs replacement filters 2-3 times a year. Easy to find and order on Amazon.
