Is there an indicator indicating when the filter should be changed?

No there is not an indicator. However, the filter only needs to be change every year or so, so I usually made a note for myself and taped it onto the filter holder under the sink. You can also get on an auto-replacement filter mail order system.

No there is no physical or visual indicator to let you know when it needs changing. I have had mine a few years now and I am just assuming that when the time comes for it to need replaced I will start seeing sediment in the water. I will replace it at that time.

No. But that's the least of your worries with this ridiculous product. Stay away from it! It doesn't work.

Everpure recommends that the filter be changed once a year. To help you remember, they include a water filter monitor, which you activate upon installation. Basically, it's a countdown timer. When the time expires, an alarm will sound. Hope this helps.

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

I would think changing it would not be an issue for quite a while. I only use it once per month. The current filter should stay good for a long time at that usage rate. When the time comes, I will rinse the filter and put back in for as long as I can.

No, there's no indicator on the filter. I made a note in the calendar on my phone which is never lost if you do system back-up's

My indicator only changes from green to red when I need to purchase another filter.

Depends on how much the furnace runs, and the amount of particulates in the air. If you get one of these: G99 Air Filter Gage it will tell you when you should change the filter. When you're buying a filter this pricey, it will pay for itself.

There is a pre-filter that you have to change. There is an indicator to tell you when to change filters. How often depends on what setting you run. I run mine at medium 24/7, high for 1 hour after vacuuming. I change filters about every1 1/2 - 2 months. They're not expensive.

When the filter needs changing....yes!!! It's gross. And, the filters don't last long!

Filter life will vary based upon contaminant load and consumption. You'll know your filters need to be changed when: the sediment filter is getting plugged up when the water pressure drops, the iron filter when you start to have iron breakthrough, and the carbon filter when you change your iron filter. There is a filter life-cycle chart for the iron filter in your owner's manual and also on the product description page on the manufacturers website. Figure on an annual change in most applications.

There is a small light indicator that is supposed to come on after 6 months of usage or whenever it is time to replace the filter. The small watch size battery is used for that

There is not. What is basically a reusable sticker comes with it to tell you when you changed it last and when it needs to be changed next. I stuck mine to the fridge which reminds me I should change the filter soon.

No, there is no indicator but that would be nice. You just have to replace after 12-18 months depending on your usage

The best practice is to change it every 8 to 12 months. Even flowing strongly after that time filter could have lost part of its filtering properties.

I'm unsure. I had another/original media in the filter, and I just changed this one. So, it hasn't been in there long enough to know what happens for changes in color.

There is no filter that gets changed, but there are recommended cleaners to use regularly to remove any mineral deposits that might occur. We have been using ours daily since mid-July and have seen no need to clean yet and our water for tea and coffee has not changed in taste.

Yes, there IS an indicator for filter life...it's on the top of the unit between the faucet and the filter. BUT....it's not electronic, so there is no "light," per se. It's a mechanical indicator, under a lens, that moves slowly as water passes over it; when enough water has run through the filter, the indicator starts to show red, and when it's completely red, it's time to change the filter. The problem is that it's not electronic, which means that it has no actual light itself, but rather depends on reflection from light outside the filter. I found that while I could sometimes see it at night with the light over the sink turned on, it was much more reliably visible by shining a flashlight down into the little port.
