Maintenance: How many gallons of purified water can this system make before having to change any of the filters?

I recently wrote--well a couple of days ago--to the company asking the same question--what is the ratio of grey water to clean water AND how often do I have to change the filters. Most systems have fewer filters. NO REPLY FROM THE COMPANY yet...

Each filter change is different. You will have to look at the spects online, track by product part #. I believe it's by how many gallons of water go through the system.

It will ALL depend on your water quality. You should be able to hit that (or better) pretty easily. I am in the Houston area (nasty municipal water supply) and I am getting about a gallon every 3.5 minutes. Also depends on how often you clean your filters.

No, there is only 3-5 gallons purified at a time , this is for cooking and. Drinking water

Good question, doesn't seem to have a standard and it would really depend on the water you use. I would replace it whenever it looks dirty. Check monthly or less often if you are using filtered water.

The system manual recommends changing the pre and post filters every 6 months and the membrane every 1-2 years. I don't use a lot of water and my city water is very clear so I am planning to change all the elements every 5 years. Good luck

I have not changed mine yet. It has been about 6 months. Once I got the bacteria established, I just rinse the sponge and carbon filter in the used water as I do partial water changes.

We recommend changing the filter every 6 to 8 months. However, the filter life will depend upon the environment in which it is used.

It's not measured in time but more like usage. Our well water is around 120 TDS and we filter a lot for cooking, drinking and portable use in stainless bottles. Usually around 5 gallons a day. We usually change filters about every 3 months. Note our water is already very good so this isn't typical. We have a large 2 filter water cooler style housing. That's around 30 gallons per month per filter. Much better than the advertised 15 or 16 gallons.

I haven't yet had to replace the filter. I don't use it that much. My filter is a permanent filter and I just empty it in the trash when I use it.

The water will need to be changed once a month about 25% of the water. The filters last quite a while because the filter system is actually designed for a 5 gallon aquarium. Once you notice the filter over filling that's when you change it

I believe it comes with enough to get started. So if its a dual filter system, it should come with two filters. Buying the filters on amazon is really cheap so I would buy extra, so you don't have to worry when your ready to do a water change.

I believe it depends on how many fish you have and how quickly the tank get dirty. Personally i just change it once a month to be safe.I have a 55 gallon tank with some tetras, two angel fish, two pelcos, and a albino corry(Total: 9 fish). I only change once a month, even when i had 13 fish i still changed the filter once a month.I never had any issues with the fish and my water always passed the weekly tests.

40 gallons or about 2 months time for an average family.there is a filter change indicator on top of the lid to show you when it's time to change the filter so you don't have to count unless you are so inclined to.

750 to 1000 gallons then replace, I use it for the pool and fish tanks we have well water. I strongly recommend after each use you backflush 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.

I guess that would depend on how bad your water is. My guess is that the machine is on some sort of timer / countdown as to when it needs to be descaled, but I'm not sure. Sometimes we use filtered water, and sometimes we don't. We have one of these at home, and one at work, and even though we use them 3-4 times a day, we only have to descale every 2-3 months.
