Does this need filter replacement?

This unit is filterless as everything is easily removable for washing. It is recommended to wash the unit once per every 4 full tanks of use with vinegar and hot water.

I haven't had to replace mine as yet (just got it last week). But I will check Amazon for pre-filter and filter. I just checked and Amazon carries the filters for $33.

No! The filters are easy to replace. The unit even comes with a "count down filter replacement timer" so you know when it's time. When we get within 7 days, I just reorder from Amazon:)

You can use as a direct replacement if you do not use the filter. If you do install the filter follow the instructions as to where to place in the flow connections.

I believe it is. I bought mine some time ago and put it away. I am moving soon I wanted to save it for my new place. I went on line to Amazon and checked the page and they show a replacement filter for it, so it looks like it is replaceable. I never checked it out before for myself, glad I did. Good question...

I am not sure you would have to especially if you install a filter before it however if you don't they sell replacement tubes.I would think if it is that dirty a filter would be my first concern.

I've had mine for two years & haven't replaced the filter yet. So, I don't know. It depends on how much you use it I guess.

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.

Yes, it has a filter. I love mine. I just got my first replacement filter. Hope this helps.

I don't believe so. Where I used to live the water flow through the filter would reduce greatly after about a month so I would then go ahead and replace. Where I live now the flow is still strong and it's been about two months but I'll probably go ahead and replace it within the next couple weeks.

Sorry haven't had to replace the filter as of yet. I bought this for my mother-in-law for Xmas. But if you didn't get replacement filters w/your PUR faucet, look online w/Amazon or go online w/Home Depot or Lowe's to see if they have them. That is what I would do. Hope this helps!

Nope, Ive now had mine for quite a while and everything is working just fine. No filters needed.

It comes with a filter. But it's the kind that you wash. You shouldn't need to replace the filter unless it breaks for some reason.

Mine came with an extra filter that was included in the box. It's to replace when the first one gets old.

Yes, there is another filter you can purchase for it. I did, and have not had to use it yet.

It has one they recommend include and it does need replacing. The down side I found was how often you have to soak the unit in vinegar to get rid I the minerals in the water. You can also soak the filter to prolong life but sooner than you would want , it falls apart. This machine performs really well, but, with refilling the tank and cleaning, it's a lot of maintainence. However, it think they all are.
