How often does the charcoal filter need to be replaced?

I believe I read about every 2 months, depending on how many pots of coffee you make a day. We make one pot a day.

The unit will permanently fail in other ways before you need to replace it.

Once a month would be more than enough. Carbon is not necessary in your set up, but it would give the water a more polished look between water changes. Carbon left in place too long can actually start to release contaminants back into the tank. I would change half the water in your tank once per week, cleaning the filter every other time, and the carbon replaced every fourth time.

One reviewer says you can carefully pry apart the filter and refill it with activated charcoal and a thin layer of aquarium filtration material. He's been reusing the same filter for a few years now with an initial investment of $10 for the charcoal and filtration material. He refills the filter once a month.

It might NEVER need replacement, the activated charcoal clumps uo after a year or so. Simply rinse the ceramic off with water and a Scotch-Brite Sponge or a soft brush, then shake up the charcoal. Gravity Fed, it produces about 1/2 gal of purified water per hour. I bought two for a larger qty. ' Tried the pressure system with not much luck. BUT thiss is a great product buy it.

I've only had my replacement pump a couple months, but I clean my pump weekly using scrub brushes and change the charcoal filter in the fountain at least every 3 weeks to keep everything working.

It is a filter on it's own, no charcoal needed. Over time the fibers will eventually break down and you will have to replace it. Just hose off gently and air dry to clean.

Membrane every 2 years. Filters need to be changed more often--according to the amount of use.

The best practice is to change it every 8 to 12 months. Even flowing strongly after that time filter could have lost part of its filtering properties.

Yes, the filter pushes air through a charcoal pre filter &gt; a hepa filter &gt; UV light. All of which are replaceable. It's recommended to replace the pre charcoal and hepa filter every 6 months or so depending on use and how contaminated the air is. It's also recommended to take a vacuum to the filter every month to pull out the larger particles that may be lodged in it and extend filter life. When I looked for replacements they were not available on amazon, but easily purchased through the manufacturer's website.

Usually every 6 months or so depending on usage. The machine will tell you when the filter needs changing

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.

I believe so. I've been taking it off -- there's a filter paper package underneath that seems to keep the charcoal in just fine. I haven't had any problems.

Really clean the filter or replace it. We need to clean the filter at least every two weeks of use.

Make sure to soak the charcoal filter for at least 10 minutes in water and rinse that thoroughly. 1 Tbs of coffee per cup. I use paper filters. if all else fails, bottled water.

It is ment to be replaced not cleaned. It traps all the alge and impurities in the charcoal and should be discarded in the trash. I replace it every couple months. I only have 1 thursty golden retreiver

I really don't know the answer to your question -- but I'd certainly like to know "just in case" I need the information in the future. The main problem I have is the bits of charcoal that continually come through the filter (especially weekly when I'm running a strong stream of hot water through it to help "clean" it.) Good luck.

We recommend changing the filter every 6 to 8 months. However, the filter life will depend upon the environment in which it is used.
