I live alone and drink about a gallon of water daily plus use it to cook. How soon should I replace the filter?

I live alone too, and estimated that every six months would be safe. I think all we can do is estimate.

I have used this filter the same way for about a year now. Single person use, drink a gallon daily, use it for cooking. I replace every 5 months.

In their website they mention that the filter can last up to 3 months = 300 gallons. If I were you I would change the filter every 6 months just in case. And to be sure take daily measurements during one week to see how many gallons you need daily for drinking and cooking. That will give you a pretty good estimate on how much time the filter would last based on your needs.

the CFF25-10 Tapmaster is not adequate _ change 3 times per year & costs mucho.I switched to the one from Pureearth.com which lasts a year @ $40 or so.

It really depends on your water. The higher the number from the wand (ppm) of your water the faster the filter will need to be changed. Our water unfiltered is about 34 and after 5 months we are on the same filter. We use at least two pitchers of water each day, usually more.

Filter needs to soak up water for about 30 minutes. After that, it should be fine. If not, ensure that you have the correct filter.

The Newisland replacement filters are available on Amazon now. Normally replace filter about every two to three months (depending on use and local water quality). It can work with most type of water bottle. Simply place the device on any bottles without screwing it on, still works! Hope this will help!

I use distiller or purified water in my tank. I change the filter every 4 to 6 weeks. Once I used a holiday or weekend feeder in it which made the water cloudy so I changed both water and filter sooner.

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.

Just the primary (nano) filter needs to be replaced after 6k liters. The charcoal filter and sponge filter should be replaced more frequently, but the nano filter only needs to be replaced when the bottle ceases to pump water through any more, which may be 6k liters, or sooner if you are filtering very dirty water. I've traveled all over with mine for about 3 years now and haven't had to replace the primary nano filter yet. It just depends on how often you're using it and the quantity and quality of water you're filtering.

The filter should be replaced at least one a month or sooner depending on where the water bowl is placed. Mine is outside and the sunlight will cause algie growth and you have to clean the entire setup every two weeks. If it stays in the house once a month should be fine.

Craig, It is difficult to put a number on how many gallons of water a filter will sufficiently filter before needing to be replaced. Even among city water systems there are varying amounts and types of chemicals that need to be filtered out. We say that it will last a typical camping season or three months of normal use before needing to be replaced. However the key is to keep an eye on the flow rate and taste. Once the flow begins to slow down or you notice a chemical taste in the water that wasn't there previously then you know it is time to replace the filter.

Depends on frequency of use - I use mine daily but filter water 4-5 times a day. Monitor pH every 3-4 months to see if filter is still achieving your desired pH . If not, see if holding longer time produces more alkalinity. If not , time to change the filter. I typically change out my filter every 10-12onths. But this may vary according to the pH of your water.

Depends how much water you drink. I guesstimate 2 months. You can get filters on Amazon or Ebay.

Manual (Page 18) says every 3 weeks, but it depends on how hard your water is. If you have soft water then it's much less frequently (I use distilled water so I don't even need a filter).

I do not know what the manufacturer recommends but I do stained glass and use it about the same amount of time as you. I replace the filter about once a month.

According to their website, filters should be replaced every 6 months. We've been using ours since 9/2012 and haven't replaced the filter yet. The water is still tasting good. Your water usage would effect how often the filter needs replacing.

This filter requires no additional maintenance, but it is recommended for hard water. If you already have filtered water or use distilled water, you won't need this filter. The directions say to change the filter every 30- 40 fill-ups. To me, that sounds like a lot. If you use the machine every day, you'll have to replace the filter in about a month and a half, and that can just get too expensive! I wanted to return my filter, but the return shipping was just outrageous, so I've kept it and will use it but not order replacements! Hope this helps!

The filter is the only part to replace & that lasts for up to 300 gallons, of course if you are filtering really dirty water you would have to replace sooner.

According to the manufacturer it will filter approximately 300 gallons of water or 6 months. In my experience the water flow starts to slow down when the filter needs replacing. Another way to ensure that you replace it at the right time is to write the date of instillation on the filter with a black marker.
