I think that the Brita filters I used to buy said 30 gallons. I change mine when it seems to run slow.

When I bought a new pitcher it showed a schedule of how often to change the filters, it shows every 2 months. I write it on my calendar so I don't forget.

I change mine about once a year or if the rate that water passes through it slows significantly.

I've changed mine when needed, around 6-12 months, and it does make a difference.

From the research I've done it depends on your usage. I've had mine for almost a year. The person who recommended it to me has had his longer. The way mine is installed it's going to be easy to switch out the unit when necessary.

I don't think you need to replace, just keep it clean and dry after usage and before usage clean again..

I've been replacing mine every three months or so. If it looks orange, it's time for a new one.

It is recommended to replace both at once, but I didn't. I changed it 4 years ago and haven't had a single issue.

It depends on how many people you have in your house. If you have a full family of 4 or 5 or more, once a year. We have 2, I replace every other year.

Change once a day. Or every other day if you use the way I do which is only use at night

I change mine every 6 months. I have pets. You may be able to go longer if you don't have pets.

The filter can be changed either 6 months or a year, but you must remove the front panel and vacuum off any debris about every 2 months, depending on how dirty it gets will determine how often you have to do this.

you know when to change it -- you will suddenly stop hearing, even with a good battery. frequency varies by the person. for me, it is almost the same frequency as the need for battery replacement -- once per week.

When the lights comes on to change it, you can simply clean out the filters yourself then reset the light. When the filters get too bad or if you don't want to deal with all that, you can change them but they are expensive. I change about 6-9 months or when the filter is really bad.

S. You did ask me my opinion that is my opinion.

it take time to do it in regards to cleaning it maybe under 15 minutes total of work aside from cleaning it. I have yet to replace mine but it should take the same amount of time.

Tje recommendation is every 3 months. Supposedly, there is a wear line or something that will tell you. I plan on replacing mine every 4 months or so. Hope this helps!
