how long do the flters last

I have had this filter on my system for 1.5 years now. The taste is not as delicious as it was before and I am just now having to swap them out. I run it on top of award winning city water, so there aren't incredible amounts of sediment as I imagine other people who use this have. I use it mostly for the taste and removal of any chlorine. The filter fills glasses of water at about 80% of the original speed when first installed 1.5 years ago.

Do not know how long they last. I have never changed ours. It is so slow it is hardly used. I start filling a coffee pot and have to wait even after getting the coffee from the frig, put in a filter, put in coffee, put the coffee away, etc. Wish it did better because it does seem to take out the chlorine which was our big issue.DAK

The filters are supposed to last about six months. However, I would definitely not buy this filter. Mine kept breaking and they kept sending me a new one until they finally suggested I get an AQ-5200. I love it. It is not pressurized, and the water stops immediately after you turn it off, unlike the other filters I've had from them. I would definitely buy that instead. I've only had it a week so I don't know if it will break, but they think it will not because of it not being pressurized.

They advertise six months. I've only had mine installed two months and so far have not noticed any decrease in performance

That kind of depends on the hens who are using them. My hens just started laying last November and I have the original nesting pads in their nesting boxes, for the past 3-4 months. On the other hand, my daughter has several messy hens who tear their's apart and so she goes through them every 3 or 4 weeks. I can assume that they could last anywhere between a month to 6 months. I love them and wouldn't bother with anything else.

They last quite a long time. I have had mine for over a year now. But it also depends upon how frequently and for how long of a duration you use it for. I only use mine on rainy / grey days and for 2-3 hours at a time.

I bought this a several months ago and they are still going strong! Not sure for the longer haul because I have not had the product long enough to have them wear out yet. Hope that helps.

I've had mine about a year, use them every day for at least 3 or 4 hours. Still perfect.

Living on the east coast of Florida they last about nine months of heavy use. I only use two filters at a time so take that into account. Hope this helps. Nancy

It all depends on how far down they are, but 5-6 hours is not unreasonable. Initially perhaps 6-7 hours. Hope this helps........Joe

I change when it gets too old, worn and tear. But I would rather change fliters every 6 months to a year. It depends. I have 4 cats and it gets to use a lot. So you know it depends on what your situation is.

Yes they will float for a while. Don't leave them in the water for a long time.

I had mine for 2 years. They come back year after year. A friend of mine has had them for years.

About 10 minutes on a stock battery. A larger battery would add weight hampering its flight ability. Just get a few batteries.

I use on a Hasselblad CFV-50 digital back. They last 1/2 day if upswing full time. They last up to a week if I'm taking a few pictures a day.

Yes i have used them over and over, at 20-30-40 YDS and they all fly the same. have had no problems.

They last much longer tan I thought they would. On "Smoke" they last for about four hours, I think. I check them and push them toward the hopper when I check (about hourly).

Mine have lasted up to six months, that is, they are still catching moths up to six months. Of course whenever full, it's a good idea to replace it regardless of how old.

They last pretty long. Make sure you use quality batteries, like Duracell or Energizer. Don't forget to turn them off when not in use. I don't want to attempt to guesstimate how many hours, but we really don't have to change them often. If they start making funny noises, time to change batteries.

It depends on how long you charge them, we had 3 ducks, all operate perfectly, the first one we might have charged for 20 or more seconds andhe kept climbing higher and higher until we couldn't see him! The others we only charge for 12 to 15 seconds and we still have them.You need a lot of room, we use local school oval and you have to watch the wind or they get carried away.Ours are a lot of fun and i would recommend them or buy them again. They are delicate so don't be too rough with them, but follow theinstructions and have fun!!!!! Hope this has been some help and have a great day!
