How long does each filter last?

Mine have lasted about seven weeks and we drink a lot of water. I refill the pitcher at least 3 times a day. So I feel seven weeks is a reasonable amount of time.

Our unfiltered water registers between 33 to 37. We were used to well water and don't like the taste of chlorine in our city water at our new location. Our filters last 3 to 5 months. We have had some issues with the reservoir draining properly. We just give the top a couple of taps and it seems to fix the problem. I think that the higher the register number on the unfiltered water the sooner the filter will need to be replaced to keep the 000 number. We think the replacement filters are a little pricey at about $15 each. Especially if they need to be replaced on a very frequent basis. Our investment on an annual basis is about $45 to $60.

Have had filter about a month. No problems thus far. Still on first filter.

I believe mine lasts about 2-3 months. I fill about a pitcher a day or so. I do notice some of the black bits ( charcoal?) floating on top of the filter before it goes through but that's all. My unfiltered water is in the 280 range.

Each lasts about 1 week. We are a family of three. So yeah they are pretty expensive

The filter lasts about a month for our family of two. However, it stops working prior to that time and we need to take it out and bang it on the sink several times to get it working again. When it actually stops working for good, the water gets a real foul odor and taste. We only put up with the inconvenience because when it works right it is far better water than we can get with any other filter.

I filter 2 to 3 gallons of water per day. A filter lasts me about 3 months, maybe a little longer. There is a little bit of black bits that float on the water before it goes down through but that's not a problem. I haven't had all those problems that others are talking about.

The filters usually last about one week. The last filters that I bought did not last two days. Lots of charcoal floating around when they were burped. I have never had to do this before. Not happy about this.

Yes, you get one set of filters with the housing. They should last up to 6 months depending on how much you use it.

I have used these filters for the past 1 1/2 years without any problems. Sorry you encountered a problem.

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)

According to the instructions, they will last 30-40 fillings of the tank. In my case it is about every 3 months which is similar to the older filters.

There is one filter per order unless additional quantities of this filter are ordered at the same time. One filter should last approximately six months in "normal" usage. If you run the fan setting all the time , then this will affect the longevity of this filter.

I am cleaning the fountain once a month & do replace the filters. They say they last 2-4 weeks. I have 3 small dogs & 2 cats using the fountain if this helps. They love it!

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

The filter lasts about 4 months. This is much longer than previous filters I have used. Also, it depends on how much water you use. I make coffee with mine and use it for drinking water.

Our shower is used about 2-3 times daily. Our area has extremely hard water so our filters only last about 3-4 months. I change them when my skin starts to dry out (severe eczema,) or it smells heavily of chlorine.

It comes with 2 filters that last about 6 months. You have to replace them with new ones ...bought on Amazon. We still love ours almost a year later.

Not sure why you are asking me how long this filter lasts. It was a disappointment from the beginning. I would not recommend it regardless of length of life

about 6-8 months if you have about 5 glasses a water a day. You will notice a slight change in taste when the filter is used up.

There are three filters One permanent, two replaceable. You should "clean" and re-use the initial filter monthly depending on the work load. I haven't had this unit very long so I just take the front cover off and visually check the filter. The cover is very easy to remove & replace. The other two filters are expected to last around 18 months. They have to be replaced, not cleaned. When the cover is off there are a series of led lights telling you the condition of the filters. By the way, removal and replacement of the filters is really easy.

Length of time. I think it's one year. It's just a stick on timer. It gets no info from the filter.

Depending on how much water you use. Ours usually lasts about 2months.. Aside from that this is the best brand of filter we have used. All of the others Pur etc.. all start leaking and squiring water all over after awhile. I definitely like the Dupont filter the best.

When I bought the system it said on the box that for a family of 4 the filter should last about 1 year or something like that - now depending also of usage. I would at least change it once a year even twice in fact as I got more filters with my last order.
