How long to these filters last?

My first one lasted about 5 years but it would probably depend on how much greasy cooking you do.

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.

I believe they're only supposed to last 6 months. Our initial filter lasted that long.

To the best of my knowledge, they cannot be washed. We've had ours for about 6 mos., and are about to consider changing. If your don't have a real serious dust problem, I'd say 6-7 months would be about the life of this filter.

It depends on how much water you run through them and how clean the water is. For filtering tap water they should last for several years and the elements can be scrubbed if they get plugged up with sediment - i hope this helps

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!

It depends on the quality of the water being filtered. If the water is murky, the filters will need to be cleaned more often and may last only one year. If the water is clear, the filters may last up to four years.

That's about it... The one that came with the cleaner lasted about that long as well.. After average use of once a week and occasional cleaning of the filter, I replace them in 10-12 months. If you have pets, more often probably!!

What is your question? I can't understand why these filters would expire after two or three years if you have not installed them. Perhaps the expiration applies if they've been installed and water has run through them. If you install and let them sit there for three years I can then understand having to change them after two/three year; even if they just sat there unused.

Directions say one filter is rel\placed at 6 months and second is replaced at one year. Sorry, I do not remember which gets replaced at which time frame.

The filter lasts for at least 6 months. If you don't use it much then it can last more than 6 months.

It depends on how heavy the usage is on your system. They usually last about 3 to 4 months with our system.

Of course it ultimately depends on the environment you're in I've read that they last anywhere from 6 to 12 months, so far I have yet to change mine. I open it periodically to look at it and it is still pretty clean, the black pre-filter catches more and needs replacing more in my opinion. With four dogs I'm thinking of replacing the black filter soon on mine but it does come with extras when you buy it. It does have a filter light that will come on when the main filter needs to be changed as well.

Living on the east coast of Florida they last about nine months of heavy use. I only use two filters at a time so take that into account. Hope this helps. Nancy

Manufacturer says 1 yr. I doubt if we have to replace ours at 1 yr, just vacuum the pre filter monthly. That will make a big difference on how long the filter lasts.

These filters last practicly forever, if you keep them clean they don't realy wear out, if you are filtering tap water you will need to clean them once or twice a year, more often if the water is more contaminated. They do filter very slowly so you might consider adding extra filters to speed up the process, I have 3 in mine and I'm adding a fouth. Otherwise these filters work fantastik!
