Filter life span? Voltage? Hello, I would like to know what are the filter's life span?

This model is only UL marked (no CE) and only shows a 120VAC rating. So I doubt that it would handle 220VAC.

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.

Sorry, I do not remember, don't live in the house with that filter anymore.

You have to clean the filter every week. After a time dust settle in the air vents and it helps if you clean the vents with alcohol and q tips. It is high voltage and alcohol dry fast. I was able to extent the life span of the filter with one year by blowing the dust leafs blower. Two filters I have wash in bath tub with clean water and after that was ruined ( desperate measure for desperate time ).

Not sure what you are asking. My experience is system was running fine without a filter change after two years. I took the battery out of the unit just because I knew I would not change the filters after only 6 months. When I did change the filters recently, there was no change in the water flow. Hope this helps.

To tell you the truth, I returned this filter. There was old model and not supported by manufacture warranty. There was problem after installation and manufacture which is Amway refused to give me technical support as it was discontinued model. Good luck

We've had ours for about a year. No issues yet, just need to change the filter.

The unit figures that out for you depending upon how you use it and at what speed. My filters seem to last about 9 months or so.

I have used these filters for the past 1 1/2 years without any problems. Sorry you encountered a problem.

Eventually the filter will need to be replaced. As long as you take care of it it last a long time.

They also sell those filters right here on Amazon. Just look up filter H, i believe thats the code abbreviation for this particular model. Theyre around 8 bucks, but I hear they last long!

The filter lasted approx. 6 months. It would all depend on the quality of your water. This one was used in an apt. setting with city water, so I thought is was well worth the money.

I can't tell you how long it lasts since I am still using it. Be sure and get the pre-filter which will keep most of the dirt off of this filter.

Mine works fine! I probably will buy another one soon. I Think you have to use this filter in order to work properly.

Depending on the amount of use, your filters should last 3-6 months easily. You can greatly extend the life of the filter by using a small hand vacuum or dust blower to clean the filter regularly.

I don't remember since it's been so long since I bought it, but I've been buying replacement filters in bulk from Amazon at very reasonable prices. I noticed that a respondent said her indicator light stopped working. The light on mine stopped working but it turned out that I had installed a replacement filter backwards. I turned it around and the indicator light started working properly and has been working ever since with three subsequent filter replacements.
