The filter that I have now curved after a month. Does this filter maintains its shape after a month?

it was so thin and flimsy that my husband couldn't even put it in the unit in the first place.

Yes indeed. In fact, one of the reasons i purchased these filters was to replace other low-caliber non 3M filter media.Keep in mind however, that you may need to have your HVAC contractor check the fan motor settings to determine the manufacturer-recommended setting if you have a variable speed motor. Unless the cardboard filter frame is cut or compromised, your filter should not bend in your filter plenum.These are specifically engineered as 90 day filters but i swap them out regularly at 60 day intervals. Hope this helps!

I have had no problem with filter maintain shape, reason is my filter slides into a metal frame. I change my filter once a month & it maintains its shape.

yes after a month, but does curve after 3 months in mt one family home. I like the filter and amazon very much.

The outer shell will fall apart in about a year of use, but the filter itself can survive much longer. Mine split at the seam, so it's no longer round, but it still fits in the humidifier, and does its job. Cleaning the filter every week (especially if you have hard water) will degrade the material over time. I've used one in this manner for 3 years so far.

I ordered this replacement and it works Sprite HOC Replacement High Output Shower FilterI have read that you are supposed to replace the filter 1xper year, but who knows what kind of usage they are basing that off of. I replaced mine after only 4 or 5 months (when I started noticing a considerable difference), but I hadn't realized until afterward that you are supposed to reverse the filter every 30 days. I am hoping if I do that it will last at least a few more months this time.

I sent this filter back because a clip broke the first month of using it but to answer you question, I clean mine about every four months or if the water flow has slowed down considerably. I am now using all fluval

With this particular filter, we change it every three months, I hope this helps :)

It depends on how much water you're running through the filter. I live in an RV full-time and change my filter every other month.

It depends on how soon your scale build up on the filter. I change mine once a month from November to April.

The answers to your questions are probably "No" and "No". Check out pecemu's answer on February 26, 2014. Most likely, the filter is not all the way in because the long slot on the side of the filter in not aligned with the rib on the side of the filter holder. My pitcher does not have an alignment mark like pecemu describes, just that rib inside the holder.

I have the 28" one and just changed the filter for the first time after 10 months. If you vacuum the filter once a month it lasts a little longer.

Yes! When the filter reaches its limit, the water flow will diminish almost down to a trickle. If that happens for more than 1 day, it's time to change the filter. Depending upon usage, you may need to change the filter once a month.

The more straight looking filters are the old design and no longer made. Some folks just haven't updated their pictures to the more bullet looking design. The old design lasted longer. The new design filters are recycled in El Paso and I've had some of the filter material float out of the top of the filter. One filter had what looked like dirty fingerprints.

I've been using mine for almost a month. There is a definite difference. I use it daily and my edges are filling in nicely.

I believe the round filter need not be replaced, it is intended to rinse out with warm water and air dry. There should be parts shown in the manual, however

No. But I believe it will generally keep its form over time. I have I've noticed the top flap slightly beginning to curve (or warp) in the middle though. I'm gessing this is due to heat and humidity, and possibly from getting rained on once or twice.

I actually returned this one and got the other one. I didnt like it but it is complete. Clean the filter out weekly. Hope this helps.

Yes, you'll need to change it every month or so. The meter indicator will tell you when to change it. Very easy to change & filters are not expensive

I have 5 of these filters that I switch between when they get clogged. They work with the BLC180w, that's what I am using them with. I still have the filter that came with the tool. I have washed it several times and dried it with a hair dryer. With each washing the fabric starts to decompress and get fuzzy. Like I say, I switch between 5 filters so I can't say how long a single unit may last when used and reused alone. I have cycled the original filter through the rotation about 10 times so far and though it is fuzzier than when it was first installed, it seems to be holding up pretty well.
