How often do you need to replace the filters?

It depends on how much you use it and it what environments. I have been using mine on and off for about 2 months and they still seem to work fine.

Hi- they take filters and they need to be replaced every 2-3 months depending on usage.They are currently out of stock, but they are also sold on Amazon. They will be back in stock on 06/05/2015 on Amazon.

I am not sure how long I have had mine, but never replaced filters in the past. I wash them after each use. I purchased this one because I changed coffee makers.

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.

I usually change them about once a month. I rinse them off when I change the fountain once a week. Sometimes I get longer.

I've only had mine for 2months..I'm not sure,but other reviewers have said they have vacuumed or lightly brushed the filter to clean.

Printed on the edge of the filter: "Change every 6 to 12 months - more often if the filter appears dirty." My HVAC person recommended every 6 months.

I believe they suggest every 3-4 months...I purchased the filters online at amazon actually.

The filter is on the bottom of the unit and can be replaced with just your hands. The filter is a simple pinch and pull it out of the bottom and to replace push in the new one. I don't know how often the filter needs replaced but I use it monthly minimum since Aug 2013 and the filter is still fine.

I believe it is every four months, but they have a "filter club" you can join when you buy and they'll automatically send you any replacement filters as needed on a subscription basis so you won't have to give it a thought. My unit was very recently purchased, that's why I'm unclear on the timing...

I clean mine out as per instructions. Once a month, especially the bottom tank. Doesn't hurt to give those black filters a light scrub every so often.

and usage...if you run it 24/7. I would change every three or four months. Some folks just vacuum the filters. I'm goona try it.)

It was my understanding that the filters lasted the life of the machine. I clean it once a week with a vacuum cleaner...use the brush attachment.

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.

The best practice is to change it every 8 to 12 months. Even flowing strongly after that time filter could have lost part of its filtering properties.

As I use only distilled water, I usually change my filter approx. every 3 - 4 months. Hope this is helpful to you.
