How often should I replace the filter?

Good question, doesn't seem to have a standard and it would really depend on the water you use. I would replace it whenever it looks dirty. Check monthly or less often if you are using filtered water.

I've been replacing mine every three months or so. If it looks orange, it's time for a new one.

once a year......at the end of the season you are using it to put humidity into the air. What I do is after winter is over, clean the unit real well and then install a new filter. Next time I use it......it's ready to go ~~

I would say it depends on the conditions at your home. We live up in the mountains where it is very dusty, so we check it at least once a month. We'll change it based on the amount of dust on the filter paper. We can generally go a couple of months before having to change it out.

It is hard to say. The old filters used to have an indicator which was a no-brainer. I usually change mine every few (3) months or so (when I remember). If you notice the water filters more slowly, I would suggest to change it.

We recommend changing the filters every 6 to 8 months. The replacement HAPF30 filters can be found at http://bit.ly/1Hgofjv.

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.

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.

I have city water so I replace mine every 60 days as recommended. If you have whole house water filtering, then every 90 to 120 days. It does make a difference .

Clean the filter and then clean it at least every 30 days after that. Filter is located at the top and slides in and out (pul;l up to remove).

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 have only had mine 6 months, but after reading a lot online the recommended is once a year. Also if the water slows going through filter scrubbing with a soft scouring pad will help, but so far I haven't had to do that.

I don't use mine all that much, but I haven't had to replace the filter yet. I do clean it after each use, but that's easy enough to do.

With this particular filter, we change it every three months, I hope this helps :)

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.

Most of the filters say replace annually, bit it really depends upon your usage. I usually replace every other year and I haven't had issues with water quality...

It depends on how much waste your fish make and how much u feed them. But u can wash the filters out and use them 2 or 3 times before having to use a new one. But if you're like me and just use new ones i replace my filters about once per month. So i would say 12 times a year if you're always using new ones. Ohhh and if u do reuse them make sure u wash them with used tank water, u don't want to wash them with new water... Aka chlorinated water out of the sink... Theis will mess up you're good bacteria in your filter.

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.

The filter should be replaced every 1-2 months, depending upon usage. I set my dial for 2 months ahead as we brew only about 3-4 cups per day.
