Where can I buy a new charcoal filter? How often does it need changing?

The filter is supposed to last for 2 years. I would order the new filter from Zojirushi at Amazon.com

Ordered it via Amazon and the delivery never arrived. I got credit, but now I am ordering it from the Zojirushi website directly. They sell parts. Mine needed changing after a year.

I would think from the manufacturer. I haven't changed mine yet. It would depend on how much heavy use as far as when you have to change it.

Don't know the water in Vancouver, BC is well filtered and I filter at home as well.

Go to their spare parts page where they list nearly every home replaceable part for the this machine at (http://zojirushi.com/user/scripts/user/product_list.php?model_id=33). Zojirushi has the best price on parts but as usual you pay for the shipping. Buy several at once and you most likely will save on shipping costs.

Hi- they take filters and they need to be replaced every 2-3 months depending on usage.They are currently out of stock, but they are also sold on Amazon. They will be back in stock on 06/05/2015 on Amazon.

There are two filters in the machine when you purchase it: one is a charcoal filter (pre-filter) and the other is a hepa filter. I purchased a box of the charcoal filters when I ordered the purifier and had to change one filter after running the purifier almost non-stop for 6 months. The charcoal filter is very easy to change.

According to the PetSafe FAQ, it states the charcoal filters should be changed every 2-3 weeks, and the foam less frequently, like if you notice more debris in the bowl.

It comes with 2 filters, one is paper hepa. The other is charcoal. Life of filters, should be 3 months for charcoal, 1 year for paper. I have owned unit about 2 months. There are filter lights to indicate when filters need to be changed. I am happy with the unit so far.

The cartridges that come with this are garbage as are the replacements. I bought some activated charcoal for $6 or so, popped the top off, rinsed off the fiber filter and refilled. I did that about a month ago and the water still looks good. I have enough charcoal for the rest of time.

Ours is used with a Culligan charcoal system - plumbers said the replacement filtration would run over $600 so we're still using the Culligan filter (we purchased the Culligan many years ago).

I have checked and I don't believe there is a filter. I think buying a new one is the best option. At least they are pretty cheap.

Yes, you can find the carbon to replace the filter at any Walmart or other pet supply stores.The carbon is used in filters for fish thanks. The good news is it is quite cheap to purchase it this way.

I'm not sure if a replacement cartridge is produced, being that the filter is so small. All I did was to pull the bottom out, separating the charcoal filter from the piece of sponge. Rinsethe sponge out until it's free of gunk. Then rinse the charcoal filter, put it all back together and you're good to go. Hope that helps you.

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 is on the bottom of the unit and can be replaced with just your hands. The filter is a simple pinch and pull it out of the bottom and to replace push in the new one. I don't know how often the filter needs replaced but I use it monthly minimum since Aug 2013 and the filter is still fine.

I believe it is the standard number 10 charcoal filter. They should cost around $10 or less at the Amazon website

Most likely eBay. Take measurements of the diameters. I haven't had to replaced any yet. I have only cleaned thoroughly then soaked in water treated with dechlorinator. Hope this helps. I have two of these and love them. I manually clean the filters with my garden hose monthly. Twice monthly during spring start up. I use the dechorinator then add beneficial bacteria in the base. Approximately 2 tablespoons.

You may purchase large containers of deactivated charcoal at any place that sells aquarium supplies. It is cheap! Make sure you rinse the cartridge before installing as there is black dust on the charcoal. Fill the cartridge 3/4 full.
