How many cups or gallons does a filter cartridge last?

Officially, 40 gallons or every 2 months. However, I think you just need to be a bit creative when using it. First, you need to know the quality of your original water. If the original water is good, you may not need to change so fast. However, if the original water is bad, you may need to replace it faster. The filtered water do give better taste than the original water, so when you the taste of the filtered water turn bad, you may want to consider to change it even it has not reached the 40 gallons / 2 months mark.

Mine last about 3 months even though I used it a little longer until I ended up ordering a 3 pack. There's also a sensor that tells you when the filter is done.

40 gallons or about 2 months time for an average family.there is a filter change indicator on top of the lid to show you when it's time to change the filter so you don't have to count unless you are so inclined to.

I personally ignore the light indicator. Changing the filter really depends on how much you use it. The filter is good for 100 gallons of water or 1,600 8oz cups. Usually last for about 3 months again depending on how often you are running water threw it. Hope this helps.

Usually I got about 7-8, but if you leave it between uses it leaks. It took about a week to leak a full cartridge.

The filter comes with a cartridge inside. It is supposed to last for up to 2 years. My water has never been so clean.

It depends what filter, who you buy it from and how many gallons you run through it.

According to the manual instruction, to ensure " Top Performance" of the showerwise filtration system, the filter cartridge should change after 1 year or about 15 gallons of water of service.

I believe its 500 gallon or 6 month filter. I change mine every 6 months even though I don't use nearly the 500 gal. limit You can tell by taste when the filter is going bad.

I do not know how much it holds but would guess 2 gallons, maybe 2.5. But the key is to develop the habit among all users to replace in the top the approximate amount removed. We keep a pitcher convenient to do this. It only takes about 90 minutes for a gallon to percolate thru the filters, so you will never run out IF everyone replaces what they withdraw. (we have 2 filter unit) The filtering rate will slowly go down over time and they must be cleaned (easy to do.) I think you will enjoy the unit.

Depends on what filter you put in it, and how bad your water is. I use it to hold a Carbon Block filter cartridge for drinking water on my kitchen sink! And it's good for about 6 months. If used with a sediment filter, like I said it depends on your water condition. Could last a month, could last 6 months!

It depends on usage. The Everpure website states that they should be replaced once a year. But it also states that they have a 1000 gallon capacity. I take this as meaning replace once per year or every 1000 gallons whichever occurs first.Another indicator that you need to replace the cartridges is when the water flow out of them has diminished significantly.

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.

Per the manufacturer, "For maximum performance, cartridge should be replaced after 750 liters or when the unit becomes hard to pump." To mean this means never, but I have replaced it once in the last few years just to be sure.

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.

As Leaser states below, it depends on the quality of water you start with. I use mine at work, so I only run about a gallon a day through it, five days a week. The tap water measures about 180-200 ppm on the meter, and it lasts me about 2 months per filter, around 40-50 gallons, I would estimate.

We normally get about 3 months on a cartridge....we drink alot of water and we use it to make coffee...

The filters last for 5-10 pots as long as the coffee is ground to drip-percolator size. Smaller ground becomes trapped in the filter.

The documentation says to change the multi-stage filter every 500 gallons, (every 6 months.) The ceramic dome filter at the top is supposed to last 1,000 gallons, (1 year.) I guess it depends on how fast you go through 500 gallons of water filtered.
