From amazon I think I've read 1 year, from another website that sells the same filter I've read 1-2 I guess it depends how much you use it. Hope this helps!

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.

The filter lasted approx. 6 months. It would all depend on the quality of your water. This one was used in an apt. setting with city water, so I thought is was well worth the money.

Filters last about 10 uses but if you rinse them out really good you can probably get a few more uses out if them. Once they start to clog up with sediment you will know because the coffee concentrate will not flow freely through it.

The unit figures that out for you depending upon how you use it and at what speed. My filters seem to last about 9 months or so.

The filters claim to be good for a year. I have had them installed for 9 months and my water still tastes great.

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.

I find one site that sells cartridges (houzz.com) says "Each filter cartridge should be replaced within 45 to 60 days depending on usage. Today I talked to the UnitedStatesian distributor (not the Amazon distributor in Canada), and he says it's good for roughly 6-8 months showering 2 times a day.

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.

We have to replace our filters about every 4-6 months! We clean the filters using a vacuum which ours has a hose so I use that to get as much dirt, animal hair and the dust out as possible at least once a week! This will help make the filters last a lot longer!! We love them since we're out in the country by big oil wells we get a whole lot of dust so these work great!

I am not sure, but they have lasted us about the same time as the original filter supplied by the MFG, about 6 months. We are a family of two.

The filters usually last about one week. The last filters that I bought did not last two days. Lots of charcoal floating around when they were burped. I have never had to do this before. Not happy about this.

I believe the filters last through at least 30 gallons of water or 3-4 months.

Every year or so, depending on how dusty your home is. A good vacuum cleaner may allow the filter to last a few years or so.

It depends on the type of filter. This one has lasted about 2 months next to a puppy crate.

I use this system at home, and a larger version (from a chemical supplier) in the laboratory that I manage. We routinely use the industrial version for a couple of years, because the water it is purifying has already been distilled, so the demand is low. There is no reason that the filters should not last for that time, assuming the useage is low enough. KLL
