I use mine every day for cooking, drinking and occasional cleaning with the strong stuff. Lasted about a year until I started seeing little white "chips" in the water. I'm definitely getting another one.

i only use the machine 2x a week. maybe around 40 liters per week. the filter didnt last for a year unlike the original filter.

I don't have the product literature in front of me, but usually these things can go 3 months or so before the filter is changed out, especially if the water is kept clean. Filter longevity will depend on your water and how much stuff the pets might drag into it.

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 depends on the filtering system, but i think 2 500ml should do the job, as i use 2 500ml bottles for my 60 gallon tank.

My water source is ~296ppm. I get about 4-6 weeks use out of one filter before it gets an acrid taste that lets me know that the filter needs to be changed. My wife and I drink water about 90-95% of the time, so it gets a lot of use before I change the filter.

Craig, It is difficult to put a number on how many gallons of water a filter will sufficiently filter before needing to be replaced. Even among city water systems there are varying amounts and types of chemicals that need to be filtered out. We say that it will last a typical camping season or three months of normal use before needing to be replaced. However the key is to keep an eye on the flow rate and taste. Once the flow begins to slow down or you notice a chemical taste in the water that wasn't there previously then you know it is time to replace the filter.

Hi Ronald you should at least filter 60 gals. of water.Filtration capacity will vary depending on quality of source water.

The product manual says "It is recommended that the EZ-1 filter be replaced every year and the EZ-3/EZ-4 every 6 months, or when you notice a change in taste, odor, or flow of the water being filtered." It also lists the service life of the EZ-1 at 3000 Gallons, and the EZ-3/EZ-4 at 500 Gallons, so if you know about how much water you use you could guesstimate it. The manual also says that the filter head should be replaced every 10 years.

It depends on how much of the filter is covered. I change the filter before each time I use it.

Approx 4-5 gallons. My fountain has ran continuously for eight months. No problems. Keep water and filter clean.

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

It should not be necessary to replace the filter. It will need to be shaken out or vacumed once a month. It is also OK to rinse the filters however let them dry for at least 24 hours. I have owned this products for several years and never had to replace the filters.

Brenda, just remove the filter and rinse it off and place it back in the tank. It will last another week or so and then just replace it with a new one. Replacing every 30-45 days keeps my tank very clean.

I assume that the questioner wants to know if there is something that indicates when the filter needs to be changed. You should keep a spare filter cartridge on hand. Change it out when the water flow slows down. New, the flow will be about 1 oz. per second. An 8 oz. glass will be filled in 7 or 8 seconds. Over time, depending on the amount that you use the filter, the flow will slow to where it takes 10 or 12 seconds to filter 8 oz., it's time to replace the filter cartridge.

Yes I can but I don't know for how long because the filters are fairly small so I don't know many gallons you could actually come through it before having to replace the filters

A couple of gallons. I don't know exactly. I would have to go look on the paperwork.

Just the primary (nano) filter needs to be replaced after 6k liters. The charcoal filter and sponge filter should be replaced more frequently, but the nano filter only needs to be replaced when the bottle ceases to pump water through any more, which may be 6k liters, or sooner if you are filtering very dirty water. I've traveled all over with mine for about 3 years now and haven't had to replace the primary nano filter yet. It just depends on how often you're using it and the quantity and quality of water you're filtering.
