It says Clean Sense charcoal filters change color when replacement is necessary. Do u actually replace the filters, or just clean them?

I have used mine for about four months, lots of greasy smoke, filters still green. Should replace the filters when the light turns red.

It is ment to be replaced not cleaned. It traps all the alge and impurities in the charcoal and should be discarded in the trash. I replace it every couple months. I only have 1 thursty golden retreiver

Dear Mel, Thank you for your question. We typically recommend changing the filters of the BioGS 2.0 air purifier every 18 months based on average indoor air quality and 24/7 operation. It is possible you may need to replace the filters more often if you have more harsh air quality or high concentrations of air pollutants. It is normal for the color of the filter to change over time as the pollutants will be captured by the filters in the air purifier. We would recommend trying to maintain the filters more often to see if that will help. We hope this information is useful. Please feel free to let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with. Thank you and have a great day! Kind Regards, Rabbit Air Customer Care Team

There are two filters in the machine when you purchase it: one is a charcoal filter (pre-filter) and the other is a hepa filter. I purchased a box of the charcoal filters when I ordered the purifier and had to change one filter after running the purifier almost non-stop for 6 months. The charcoal filter is very easy to change.

I change the charcoal when the tank begins to swell fishy. When you first add the charcoal after a day the fishy smell will began to leave from your tank. Its your choice when you need to change it. I just use the smell returning as an indicator. Hope that helped.

You shouldn't wash the charcoal prefilter, it won't absorb any smell then. You have to change it once or every other month.

I use them in a canister filter encased in a mesh bag to prevent from making a mess. It would be difficult to replace them if you placed them in the gravel bed. I suppose you could place them in the gravel (a mesh bag would make it easier to collect them later). I replace the carbon every 3 months.

Once a yr and change the charcoal if the water gets smelly. Other than that clean it out every month to help maintain it

It is a filter on it's own, no charcoal needed. Over time the fibers will eventually break down and you will have to replace it. Just hose off gently and air dry to clean.

That means either you need to change the filters or possibly the battery needs to be changed to a new one. Check on the battery first, as the life of the battery is much shorter than the filters.

I haven't had to replace mine yet, but you would just call the company and tell them which model you have. They would send you the correct filter. I received an e-mail reminder after just a few months also, but wasn't ready to replace the filter yet. What you will be replacing if you have the carbon block, is just another carbon block filter like the one that you already have.

I really don't know the answer to your question -- but I'd certainly like to know "just in case" I need the information in the future. The main problem I have is the bits of charcoal that continually come through the filter (especially weekly when I'm running a strong stream of hot water through it to help "clean" it.) Good luck.

It usually means that it needs cleaned. Have you cleaned it? We take out the grate and soak it in very mild soapy water, rinse it and allow it to air dry for a day, then it works ok. Call the company and they will help you if cleaning doesn't work. Be careful not to get the charcoal filter wet, don't take it out when you clean the other part.

the black ones i believe are charcoal filters for taste. i've seen those replacements too. these white ones are ceramic on the outside and charcoal filled. i know that cuz i dropped one in the sink and broke a chunk off the top and spilled some:) the water soaks thru the ceramic and drips thru the plastic nipples there on the bottom. every 2-3 months you brush these ceramic ones off and put them back in to continue using. my first set lasted 12 years before water quit passing thru the bottom half of them-top tank didn't empty past half full if that made sense. hope that helps.

You may need to flush the whole filter- run the black plastic part under hot water. Or... Is the black stuff the charcoal leaking? Or is someone over feeding the fish?

You are doing it right. This is a gravity filter. The water is purified by slowly passing through the black activated charcoal media. It could take up to an hour for all the water to pass through the filter(s). However, sometimes these filters get a little clogged up and slow down significantly. In that case take a sponge with a "soft" scrubber back and gently scrub the filter's surface. Rinse the filter with water and you should see an improved rate of gravity filtering. If your filter(s) have been used for a long while, and don't improve after scrubbing, it may be time to replace them.

I haven't noticed either way, I do use s charcoal filter at all times, replace it ever three months, but think I'm gonna switch to every 3 months
