Are the filters reusable or do the need to be replaced periodically?

This is more of a water separator than a filter. The internal parts are cleanable.

It is cleanable. I have it installed in line from an 80 gallon compressor tank and it has not gotten dirty enough to have to clean it yet.

There are no filters in this. It is a water separator. Water collects in the bowl and just needs drained periodically.

The filters are usually not white when I change them. But I change them about once a year, based on amount of use.

Sure, you can clean and reuse...in the manual it states that you must replace them every two months

if you keep the filters cleaned on a regular schedule they should last for many years. check your cleaning requirements (very simple and easy to do)

Yes, and I have reused a single filter, at 2 brew ups per day, for several months. They are good until they tear or get a hole in them. Very 'green' if you want to look at it that way.

I'm not sure as we use ours regularly but my guess is I would dump the water and refill. I don't think the filters drying out would be a big problem unless they are dirty.

Yes they are. Check the instructions for the unit. They need to be replaced every 6 months. In between them is the membrane filter (more expensive ) which should be replaced every year.

There are technically speaking no filters that aren't permanent and washable. The exception is the plates that are recommended to be replaced yearly, although originally I was running the unit about 8 hrs/day and because of a renovation switched to 24/7 the last six months. I have checked the plates/grid for the ionizer and the ozone generator, and am only now after 18 months getting ready to replace them. They are about 20-25 U.S. dollars for 4, so they are a surprise to be reasonable on an otherwise already low maintenance unit. If you run the unit 8-12 hours/day and use a diluted Ammonia to wash the grid and plate every few months I could see getting two years out of the plates. With the replacement costs being from 6-8 dollars a plate I bought a second set to rotate out and you don't even know we have dogs and cats.

They are completely re-useable, but you should soak them in soapy water after using so the grounds don't get stuck in the filter.

You need to clean or replace filters on a regular basis. The plates need to be cleaned as well depending on how dirty the environment is.

Membrane every 2 years. Filters need to be changed more often--according to the amount of use.

They offer replacement filters for it however I have washed and reused mine numerous times. It's just a hard piece of wirish like filter. It's very easy to clean and reuse. I have never replaced mine yet.

The filter that comes with the unit is cleanable and reusable. Just clean the filter with a spray nozzle on a garden hose. Bon chance.

Never, they are permanent filters. There are two filters and I recommend washing them once a month. One filter is located in the ball assembly. The other filter is located where the handle to the dirt container is.

It depends on how much waste your fish make and how much u feed them. But u can wash the filters out and use them 2 or 3 times before having to use a new one. But if you're like me and just use new ones i replace my filters about once per month. So i would say 12 times a year if you're always using new ones. Ohhh and if u do reuse them make sure u wash them with used tank water, u don't want to wash them with new water... Aka chlorinated water out of the sink... Theis will mess up you're good bacteria in your filter.

The filters can initially be vacuumed, but at some point they do need to be replaced. We have been quite satisfied with the performance of our units. When one (we have five units) failed, the unit was replaced without a problem.

I think that's the membrane I use for mine. Keep in mind that's the membrane, so it doesn't need replaced as often as the filters.
