How long will the filters last before they need to be replaced?

I would guess a minimum of 3 years several years based on design and ease of cleaning with a hose and my impression of durability of design

Personally I havnt had to change the filters as of yet and my machines run 24/7. I'm figuring every few months or so. The machines do come with replacement filters:)

The pre-filters seem to last about 4-6 months. We have dogs and that may affect filter life, although they may be on an automatic countdown timer.

I only needed to replace mine at most, once a month. I would say it really depends on if you leave the filter on when you feed your fish. By turning it off during feeding, I could sometimes go 2-3 months before changing it.

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.

1. Easy. Just make sure you release the vanished button inside the trash can to contain the dust and dander. Take less than 10 seconds. 2. They recommend it to be cleaned every 3 months. Typically these vacuums don't new a replacement filter for a quite a long time. But that also depends on your use of it. I wouldn't worry about a filter replacement for at least 4 years if you are washing it every 3 months.

According to their website, filters should be replaced every 6 months. We've been using ours since 9/2012 and haven't replaced the filter yet. The water is still tasting good. Your water usage would effect how often the filter needs replacing.

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

The filter lasts for at least 6 months. If you don't use it much then it can last more than 6 months.

The filters will last for many years. Scrub them clean with the scrubby side of a sponge on a regular basis is all you need to do. I would NOT suggest using chemical cleaners on the filters.

Clean pre-filter 2-4 weeks, deodorization filter replace 6 months, HEPA filter replace every year.

I just purchased this item so don't know how long it will last. The instruction manual states the filter should last 6 to 9 months. I would guess that depends on usage. I use mine about 2 to 3 times a week and for a short period of time.

First of all the cleaner the filter, the faster it filters. When it is new, it will filter the full amount in about 6 hours. After the filter gets some use, it will take a bit longer. I take mine out and wash them every 3-4 months and change them once a year.

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:)

I can't tell you how long it lasts since I am still using it. Be sure and get the pre-filter which will keep most of the dirt off of this filter.

Naturally, it depends on how much you use it, but we get at least a month or two out of each filter. We can tell by the taste when it needs to be changed.

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.
