How often should I change the filters??? I've had mine running for a little over 30 days straight. Am I close to needing a replacement?

Depends on the environment you live in. e.g my new apartment floor is on concrete, no padding in the rugs, so I check it weekly. Mine runs 24/7 too, and I wash the other filter often. I have no pets.

Hello I do know that the manufacturer says every six months but I do think it is all according to the situation you're in I have two of these units in my place and if I do not change every month there is a big problem.Thank you so much for your informationJohn P. S. You did ask me my opinion that is my opinion.

We recommend changing the filters every 6 to 8 months. The replacement HAPF30 filters can be found at http://bit.ly/1Hgofjv.

one of your filters has gone bad. Part of this system being junk is that the filters are junk. You can call the manufacturer but they will likely decline to give you a new one. Tell them that you just bought it and see if they'll send you one. They know their system is junk but they keep selling it anyway.

I haven't had any problems with mine since I put it in. Mine been in for at least four months now, my old filter in had to clean it every month and half.

I change mine every 6 to 9 months. It greatly depends on how wet the conditions are, and how good the inside filter does. All depends on how bad the system enviroment is.

I just put a piece of blue tape with the install date on the filter and replace in a year or if the flow slows appreciably (which in my usage/experience takes > 1 year). The filters have gotten more expensive - I used to get them for $70-80 so now I wait longer to replace :)

So I have retired from reviewing (and most all else in life). I have a better excuse for being answerless: I haven't installed the unit. So sorry. Best you go to their online site or call toask the manufacturer. Such questions also get spiffs of free filter(s). Most all major manufacturers life to hear from customers: You may get on a list of bargains on replacement filters, too. rclarknv

I have heard that if the filters aren't replaced regularly the water flow is affected. Not sure if this will help your problem but it's something to consider.

Mine has been running on medium 24 hours a day since the first week in June 2014, it's only been turned off once a month for 10 minutes to vacuum out the filter. Runs like a champ!

I think they officially want you to replace them every 6 months but I usually replace them around once a year. It depends on your usage. I have it hooked up to a below counter ice maker & also a drinking water dispenser above counter. When the water starts running slow on the dispenser I replace the filter.

Hi there! I change mine every month as they are quite inexpensive. I'm not sure if there is any clear way to tell "when" they need to be replaced unless you perform some type of chemistry test on the water. One other thing I do is I always fill the pet fountain up with water from the refrigerator that has a filter. I think the bottom line is to just use good common sense and keep an eye on how your pet is doing health wise!

The company that installed my new system said that this filter would last one year. But when they came out to do an inspection after one year, the guy said that I should have changed the filter earlier. I now change the filter every six months. So far, that seems to be about the right amount of time.

I just run these straight up and replace them. A pre-filter is a good idea if you have room.

depends on how often you run it and how dirty your air is. Seems like mine lasted about 9 months being run daily. You just wash the pre filter

I would think changing it would not be an issue for quite a while. I only use it once per month. The current filter should stay good for a long time at that usage rate. When the time comes, I will rinse the filter and put back in for as long as I can.

I believe it is every four months, but they have a "filter club" you can join when you buy and they'll automatically send you any replacement filters as needed on a subscription basis so you won't have to give it a thought. My unit was very recently purchased, that's why I'm unclear on the timing...

Our replacement pump has been going for a few months now. The one that came with the fountain lasted a little over a year, but we were not changing the filter regularly. I bought 12 replacement filters and now wash the fountain thoroughly and change the filter once a month. Be sure the filter cover is clean and covered with water.
