how often do you have to change the filter

Hi, I ordered these filters but they did not fit (even though they state they will) - this company did tell me I could send them back but if I had time to go to the post office I would not have used Amazon. But I digress. I order and receive my product elsewhere - I change my filter twice a year. Changing your filter will depend on your water usage.

Trixie,I basically set a calendar reminder to change it every 6 months. I think for home use this is more often than necessary but the filter is low enough cost to make that not a Big Deal. In years of having the Keurig plumbed in at home, not ONCE has it asked me to descale it and the coffee is always great without that bit of a "film" that you might see using tap water.

We replace our filter every 4 months or so, but we have it on our primary faucet. I think you would be able to "taste" a difference in the water when it needs to be changed. Only you will be able to judge how often you need to change it by the taste. Hope that helps.

Approx. every six to eight months, running it 8 hours a day in my bedroom. I live in the southwest, in a dry dusty environment, so it would probably last longer under less severe conditions. Also, I must clean the pre-filter at least once a week.

I change mine every 6 months but it depends on the hardness of your water. The filter can not be serviced. I usually recycle it with my plastics.

The instructions say change the filter every two months. I fill it with water every day generally.

I believe it depends on how many fish you have and how quickly the tank get dirty. Personally i just change it once a month to be safe.I have a 55 gallon tank with some tetras, two angel fish, two pelcos, and a albino corry(Total: 9 fish). I only change once a month, even when i had 13 fish i still changed the filter once a month.I never had any issues with the fish and my water always passed the weekly tests.

There is a pre-filter that you have to change. There is an indicator to tell you when to change filters. How often depends on what setting you run. I run mine at medium 24/7, high for 1 hour after vacuuming. I change filters about every1 1/2 - 2 months. They're not expensive.

Yes, you'll need to change it every month or so. The meter indicator will tell you when to change it. Very easy to change & filters are not expensive

The only other reason to change more frequently is if microbial contamination is a concern, I put a UV light treatment unit following my RO system to help fix any problems encountered here. Now I have a UV light to change once per year and another filter to change once every 6 months in addition to RO filters and membrane service intervals.

Prefilter: Directions say every 90 days. I run my filter 24/7 and need to change the pre-filter every 60 days. HEPA filter is supposed to last 1 year. I change mine more often due to severe allergies and chemical/fragrance sensitivities; mostly due to scent.

The manufacture recommends replacing the filter every 6 months period. Personally, I replace the filter every 3 to 4 months. For your information, most water filter manufacturers including 3M recommends replacing filter every 3 months.

No. Just change the filter once or twice a year depending on your use. My suggestion is to disconnect the timer that comes with the filter because it comes from the manufacturer for the filter to be replaced way too soon and when the alarm goes off is a pain.

I change them a little longer that the recommended times. We use the filtered water only for cooking and related things. There are two time frames: One filter will last one year plus and the other two should be changed every 6 months. As I said we try to wait a little longer. Maybe 8 months for the two and 14- to 16 months on the one. It really depends on use and the quality of your water.

I replace mine once a month. You could probably go a bit longer if you don't have hard water and if you clean the humidifier once a week as recommended. I do a thorough clean only once a month and replace the filter at that time since it gets all gunky from both the dust it sucks in and the hard water build-up.

I check the filter after the winter heating season and at the end of summer. Depending on use, I change filters once or twice a year.

Depends on use. I replace mine every 6 months. But I also keep my hot tub very clean and wash filter every month.
