the filter may change or not after use and how to know the filter is outdated

There is no indicator that the filter is outdated, but it gets darker in color. It can be washed and reused, but I do not know how this impacts its effectiveness.

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.

No.... There are no settings or options to show how long the unit has been running. There is a setting to remind you to change the filter after a preset number of running hours. Thats it.

I have been cleaning the equipment each time the water starts tasting different. I change filters according to time, but if for some reason, the water continues to take differently, then I would replace it earlier. There isn't any type of indicator on the equipment, just your own site, taste, and time.

It has a dial you can turn to let you know how much time is left for the filter. It will prompt you when it's time to change it.

How often to change the filter is depended on the air quality in your house/room and how often the filter is on. You can tell by looking at the paper side of the filter. When the filter is getting "dark" grayish black color, the filter is near end of its life. Some people change filter every three, six, or nine months. That could be wasteful. I always inspect the filter and then change it as needed.

No, there's no indicator on the filter. I made a note in the calendar on my phone which is never lost if you do system back-up's

I have not had any problems with my filter. I check it periodically, the usage seems correct. I'm still very pleased with I would guess the filter would be at fault. The electronics are in the filter. Gary

Hello. You just need to hold down the filter button until it resets. That should work!

The pitcher can't "tell" when the filter is getting old. It's just a sensor in the lid that senses how many times it's been removed, etc. So it 'guesses' when its time to replace the filter. Holding down the button resets that counter to zero so do it when you put a new, fresh filter in and the light will give you an estimate on when to change the filter. I tend to use the filter at least a month after the light goes red.

I bought a spare filter with it in December 2012 but have yet to use it. Note that I use the device daily n live in a especially polluted place.

Point of use is best and install a small inexpensive moisture and dirt trap with an automatic drain in front of the unit. This will help extend the life of the filter.

I think is based on time. The filters continue to work for some time after. I generally replace them whan the water flow slows down. depending on use, that can be 1 to 3 years.

I have not changed the filter in my units yet. I have cleaned them, meaning I have knocked the dust off them. But I have not replaced them. There is a small somewhat fragile one in there that you want to be careful with as I guess there is no replacement. The other is larger, maybe paper although I don't remember for sure. This is the one I have knocked the dust off.

I think that info should be in the instructions the humidifier came with. Im sorry. Our filter does not need changing yet.
