There are no filters. One of the beauties of this machine is that nearly all of its parts can be cleaned in the dishwasher. I don't put the heating element in the dishwasher.

It was my understanding that the filters lasted the life of the machine. I clean it once a week with a vacuum cleaner...use the brush attachment.

Yes, I've taken the filter in the upright section out several times and washed it. It's a spongey foam material that takes a bit of time to dry fully, but it can be washed. Leave it out for a solid 24 hrs to dry after washing, though, because even the slightest moisture will gunk up the filter with dirt.

As far as I've seen, you shouldn't need a filter after the unit. We have one anyway, to catch anything that goes through during the backwash process (while the unit is not filtering the water).

I haven't yet had to replace the filter. I don't use it that much. My filter is a permanent filter and I just empty it in the trash when I use it.

Yes. The canister simply unscrews. There is a removable filter basket inside that unscrews but usually I just take a round vacuum brush attachment from my big vacuum and simply brush off the filter while standing over a big wastebasket or garbage can. It takes about a minute or less to clean. Extra filters are sort of expensive so I usually just brush off the existing one.

This unit comes with a permanent filter that can be washed and reused. There is also a light on the unit that tells when the filter needs to be cleaned.

Take the filter out and run the pump without it. if the pressure seems right it is the filter. I always clean mine as soon as I take them out but they do start to get clogged after a while. Make sure you clean good between the folds in the filter!

I don't own this, but one of the reviews posted here says no filters are required. Thought that might help you.

Yes. The filter is washable and removable. The water will not stay as fresh if the filter is not used.

I would rinse the filter off. I have had mine about 6 weeks and havent had to rinse it yet (and using it for pet hair). It is very easy to clean off the filter when emptying bin.

Pull out the bottom drawer, reach in and pull the filter down to remove it. Cleaning depends on how dusty the area is.

Yes. A filter is unnecessary. However, depending on whether your water source is full of minerals or organics, you might want to add a filter. I added a filter.

The carbon filter on the front of the filters collect a lot of dust. I vacuum it clean once in a while. For your question, I would say yes.

The filter is located on the right side, near the front. Just pull it out and clean it.

It doesn't need a filter. The way it's made is a filter in itself. Hope that help!

Yes, it is cleanable. Simply open canister and remove ceramic filter. Scrub with brilo pad till white again and reinstall. I generally clean mine about once per year. You will notice a drop in water flow when the filter is dirty and needs to be cleaned.
