How often should you clean it?

Depends on your environment. We live on a dirt road and have pets, so we need to clean it every 2-3 weeks. You can see how dirty it is by holding it up to the light. After a while you will develop your own schedule.

I have only had mine 6 months, but after reading a lot online the recommended is once a year. Also if the water slows going through filter scrubbing with a soft scouring pad will help, but so far I haven't had to do that.

I wipe it down daily with a paper towel and rinse it thoroughly. Once a week I use a vinegar and water mix and let it sit for 20 minutes per the instructions. Some places are very hard to clean. I'm looking into getting another one for that reason.

Rinse out after use and clean with soap and water every few days. Ours has been used for over 6 months and looks brand new.

We have had ours for a year. Use it 2-3 times a year and hand wash. So far no problems.

If you want it to last a while, I'd hand-wash. I'm not too worried about it getting a little messed up so I have machine-washed it.

I just wipe it clean once per week but I think the key is to use distilled water so deposits won't be an issue.

I leave mine on and in full time. I do take it out, turn off and clean weekly. In addition I take it out for the winter and store.

I change mine every 2-3 years, depending how much you use it. I use it about once a month for the large kitchen area.

I'm speaking only based on experience, but I wash it every other time I use my vacuum (so about once or twice a month). I bought this more than a year ago and so far, I've only gone through one and it's still good.

Cleaning the tank depends on the water you are putting through it. If you water is coming from the tap and you don't have hard water, I would think that once a month is enough. I have been cleaning mine once a month and the tank is never really dirty nor are the rods.

I rinse mine out about once a week and put it in the sun for a few hours. Keeps it great.

It's not bad to clean. I just rinse it and wipe it quickly with a sponge. I only use it for protein so it kinda has a lingering smell of protein but it's better than over washing it. Don't do that because it battery powered and it might mess it up. The bottom that covers the batteries is pretty tight though so quick rinses shouldn't mess it up. I use mine everyday twice a day and it still works great after about 2-3 months.

I haven't had to. It's still effective. I just clean it about every week or so.
