Do you always trust the timer and replace filter right away?

I do trust the timer usually replace filter at 25%. That is mostly because we are on well water and it is really hard water.

The replacement light simply runs on a timer so it is likely just a coincidence that it came on now. There are no sensors that measure the quantity of water through the filter or quality or water output. Simply reset the filter reminder on the panel and wait till the next time that it comes on to replace.

I have been cleaning the equipment each time the water starts tasting different. I change filters according to time, but if for some reason, the water continues to take differently, then I would replace it earlier. There isn't any type of indicator on the equipment, just your own site, taste, and time.

The instructions state the filter should need to be changed every 6 Months. I bought mine in December 2012 and have not changed the filter yet. The unit has four lights that indicate when the filter needs to be changed. Mine is only on the second light indicator. I run the unit 24/7 on the second of four speeds, and wash the foam pre-filter every month.

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 ordered this replacement and it works http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000B8URLI/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I 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 would think changing it would not be an issue for quite a while. I only use it once per month. The current filter should stay good for a long time at that usage rate. When the time comes, I will rinse the filter and put back in for as long as I can.

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...

My system does not have a timer. I have always replaced the filters once a year, to be on the safe side.

Honestly it seems like every time you use it the filter gathers dust and you just wipe it off with your hand *Think lint brush here*. As soon as it's clean you're done. in terms of replacing it. Hmmm who knows...seems like it should hold up for quite a long time. If not you can replace it for like $5 on their website or make your own.

The filter comes with a small liquid type of timer with adhesive that attaches to the filter and you activate when installing it.Depending on the number of persons the filter may last 4 - 6 months. You will know when to change it by a noticeable drop in pressure.

Well, as the light suggests, you should clean the filter. Then press the filter reset button to reset the timer. All it does is remind you to clean the filter after every 10 hours of use....

No- make sure the filter is in correctly. That caused problems with mine too!

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.

I have only had the unit for about 3 -4 weeks but there is a indicator on the unit that will tell you when to change filter. I do not know if this helps.

On the old models I changed every 30 days. This one, with filter A, says it will last 3-6 months. I haven't had this one long enough to know for sure.

Should not require no more than 5 minutes according to instructions. I suggest at least ten seconds each time you use it after that. It is useful to soak the filter in water prior to installing. Be sure to wash the filter housing and o-ring gasket before installing.
