it says it has four filters. so how many filters does it use at one time? and are they 3000gl per filter x4=12000gl or is 3000gl for all four filters

Hello, the unit can use up to 4 filters at a time, each one has a life of 3,000 gallons, I hope I helped you, have a nice day.

The upper portion uses 4 filters all at once. The Berkey web site states that the filter lifetime is 3,000 gallons per filter.

It can use just two filters with two plugs but if you use all four filters it will filter faster. It's also 3000gl per filter. I agree with the other customer who said to be patient with the taste...after a couple of gallons the taste really improved. My nine year old daughter remarked that she never realized how good real water tastes!

It uses all four and yes, they all do 3000 gallons. So it should last for about 20 years we figure. yippee

Uses 4 filters at once, so it filters faster. Each filter filters 3000 gallons (I called the company to confirm by the time I want to purchase it). So, just change the filters after 12,000 gallons filtered. Another tip I wished I knew before, be patience with the taste. Just after three full filtration I finally got the amazing and fresh water taste. I have been using it for about two month for all the cooking and drinking, love it. It is worth each dollar and all the research I did.

There are 2 filters, one cup and 2 cup, and they work well. I misinterpreted filter in my first response.

yes, you get all four filters, as it lists in the description. 2 black regular filters and 2 white fluoride filters. I really like this filter!

It came with 1 filter, then you have to buy a new one when its time to replace it. However be sure you can still get this filter, the last order I placed they told me the company has gone out of business.

The filters come 3 filters to a package. I purchased three PACKAGES as I cannot readily find them locally.

It is a case of multiple filters. I ordered it many months ago so 6 seems correct but I'm to lazy to go look.

I had to purchase filters separately. You need 4 cartridges so read the fine print carefully. Some vendors ship individual cartridges and some ship 4 packs. I have tried every kind of filter, and I would say get the Hayward ones. They cost more but they last a long time and work well.

I have a 150g set up with two canister filters. I have two of these, one on each filter.

The upper chamber has 4 pre-drilled holes for filters, 2 of them are filled with removable rubber plugs. The unit comes with 2 filters, but if you wanted to use 4, just remove the plugs and attach 2 more filters.

It can if you stack the filters past 2. Otherwise I do not recall having this issue. Getting a filter holder that has smaller gaps between the filters can help allow up to 3 filters. These filters though are best to keep at two since they are not glass. This is to help keep as clear as possible picture.

It comes with 5 high filtration dust bags...I additionally purchased 2 of the Opticlean Dust Bag Accessory Pack for this 42Q8 series, includes 5 bags and the other 2 filters that needed replacing after every 5 bags.. Sorry to say, it doesn't say any where on the box specific item numbers..This pack is the way to go...If you go on the Bissell website I image the filter numbers are there.

Who knows? There are better filters out there. The one I got did not come with any paper work that details its campliblities. A monolithic filter or the ones that go in a Berky are good filters. They list exactly what they filter out.

Mine came with a few filters. I don't recall how many, but there were some included.

my UF uses three same size filters, one purple, one blue (carbon block) and one red. Just like the picture shows.

It comes with all 3 filters, you will need to replace them @ the requested intervals. 2 of them are listed as needing to be changed every 6 months & 1 of them is listed @ 12 months

Yes, it comes with four filter cartridges. I installed this filter late last summer and I still have not had to clean it. It cleans my pool better than my old sand filter and, so far, has been completely maintenance free.

There are two models, a large and a small. I have the large and it uses a number 4 filter.
