How many gallons of water will be treated during a filter's lifespan, before they need to be replaced? Also, is there a change indicator?
624876
No change indicator. Don't know how many gallons. The manufacturers recommendation is to be ignored because they just want to sell more filters. I replace when water flow is slow or I can taste the chlorine. 18 to 24 months.

The filters last more long than, but i personally change it every time I notice the water pressure of the filtered water decreases which usually happens after 5-6 months but it also depends on how much water you drink a day

Dear Valued Customer,Sawyer states, "1 Million Gallons Guaranteed! We didn't actually run a million gallons through the filter, because that's a lot of water... but we could have. We are confident in our million gallon claim because you can continually clean the filter by backwashing it with clean water. So there really is no end to its useful life. That is why we can GUARANTEE THE FILTER FOR LIFE as long as you follow the simple care and use instructions."We hope that this sufficiently answers your question, please let us know if you have an additional questions.Sincerely,Thunder Mountain (ThndrMntn)Sales and Service Dear Valued Customer,Sawyer states, "1 Million Gallons Guaranteed!

I believe the filters last through at least 30 gallons of water or 3-4 months.

This is difficult to answer since I don't know how much water has past through the filter. The filter is rated for 15,000 gallons of filtered water. If you know or can estimate how much you have used it then you can judge if it has to be changed.

Yep, totally depends on your consumption. Thanks to you I tested the water yesterday and OOPS, I have to change the filter, but we have this filter for at least 7 months

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.

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

Depends on the faucet you have installed. Some faucets have a "filter life" indicator which tells you when to replace.

According to the manufacturer it will filter approximately 300 gallons of water or 6 months. In my experience the water flow starts to slow down when the filter needs replacing. Another way to ensure that you replace it at the right time is to write the date of instillation on the filter with a black marker.

I assume you are referring to the Reverse Osmosis membrane filter. That needs to be replaced too, but not as often as the other filters. I think the normal replacement period is between 2 and 5 years, depending on your water quality. They used to be very expensive, but the prices have come down a lot in the past few years. You can buy the R.O. membrane filter directly from the seller.

My filter was in use and was not replaced for approximately 18 months. I would say we have moderate water and ice usage.

It really depends on your usage. I change them every 12 months, or less if I notice a quality change. The manufactures website has a fact sheet that says how many gallons they are rated for.

They have 3 13,000 gallon ceramic filters so in theory 39,000 gallons. That can be done if you are not just filling it up with dirty water, so what you need to do is pre-filter the water through cheese cloth or a towel or something so that your not clogging up the filters. Then make sure to brush the filters clean once in a while and this will do great for you.

The filters will need to be replaced after 3,000 to 6,000 gallons of water filtered per filter, depending on whether you are filtering tap water or pond water or other water that is dirty.

In their website they mention that the filter can last up to 3 months = 300 gallons. If I were you I would change the filter every 6 months just in case. And to be sure take daily measurements during one week to see how many gallons you need daily for drinking and cooking. That will give you a pretty good estimate on how much time the filter would last based on your needs.

I replace mine about every 6 months. As long as you have a shutoff valve ahead of the filter it's an easy un-screw the old, screw in the new replacement operation. I put a bucket underneath it to catch any water during the replacement (very little spills out.) Takes a couple of minutes at most.
