How often do you have to change the filter for each of the 6 stages?

My understanding is once a year. From what I understand, the company will send out a notification each year. We installed our unit 10 months ago and have the water tested monthly......ten months and no problems.

I change all the filters once per year with the exception of the membrane. That one is good for three years.

Even though it says every 6 months, we don't use it that often so what we do is change the the red and blue filters every 12 months and the purple filter every 24 months (yes 2 years). So far it has not degraded our water quality nor taste. I wouldn't push it more than that though. If you really want to be safe stick with what the manufacturer recommends, every 6 months for the red and blue filters and every year for the purple.

Brian, I apologize for the delay; Your question just came across my desk. The system is a four stage RO which is based upon separate treatment segments within the one complete water filtration system. Stage 1 uses a sediment filter (recommended change 6 months). Stage 2 uses a carbon filter (recommended change 6 months). Stage 3 uses a membrane (recommended change 2-5 years). Stage 4 uses a carbon inline filter (recommended change 6-12 months). Please let me know if you have additional questions.The Better BuyCustomer Service

The instructions state the filter should need to be changed every 6 Months. I bought mine in December 2012 and have not changed the filter yet. The unit has four lights that indicate when the filter needs to be changed. Mine is only on the second light indicator. I run the unit 24/7 on the second of four speeds, and wash the foam pre-filter every month.

On the old models I changed every 30 days. This one, with filter A, says it will last 3-6 months. I haven't had this one long enough to know for sure.

Depends on how often you run the machine...I run mine about 12 hours per day and I change the filters about every 18 months.

I would think changing it would not be an issue for quite a while. I only use it once per month. The current filter should stay good for a long time at that usage rate. When the time comes, I will rinse the filter and put back in for as long as I can.

The company that installed my new system said that this filter would last one year. But when they came out to do an inspection after one year, the guy said that I should have changed the filter earlier. I now change the filter every six months. So far, that seems to be about the right amount of time.

I love my 7- stage as- is. Wonder if those with bad taste need a filter changed.

There are 3 HEPA filters. They suggest replacing them every 6 months. The charcoal filters that cover each HEPA filter are supposed to be changed every 3 months.

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.

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.

Every 6. month's but make sure it's the correct filter because the one I. ppurchased in December was shipped with the wrong filter it blew dust out. replaced with right filter this is my second one. That's why I purchased this one, the last one lasted fir 10 years. It ran 24 hours 7days a week nonstop.

They recommend changing the filter every 6 months. I believe the warranty if for the entire unit. There is a filter inside that has to be changed.

The filter can be changed either 6 months or a year, but you must remove the front panel and vacuum off any debris about every 2 months, depending on how dirty it gets will determine how often you have to do this.

We recommend the customer to replace the first 3 stage once every year and the cost of the filter-set is $39. The cost to replace all 5 filters cost $119 and we recommend to replace them once every 3 to 5 years.
