how to figure out when it's the time to replace?

If memory serves me correctly the manufacturer suggests changing them at a six month interval. I would imagine that would be driven by two things, the capacity of the filter to do just that - filter, and I'm guessing here but perhaps the propensity of contaminants (e.g. mold) to grow on any surface that has become moist. Keep in mind that I am speculating on the second driver. So, if you have a typical family (which I'm sure is what the time frame is based on) I'd suggest changing the filter at Thanksgiving and July 4th, which are easily remembered dates and approximately six months apart. I happen to live by myself so I tend to change mine when I remember (I really should write it down, perhaps on the back of the mirror of the medicine cabinet) but let it go for longer than six months. I can say that I have never noticed a problem. I've had mine for at least four years. And yes I mean the filter head, not an individual filter cartridge. Hope that helps you Jenna.

Two things to watch out for: i) low water pressure; and/or ii) noticeable chlorine odor.

I usually auto-subscribe and get it every 4 months I think. There is not certain way to tell

Because there's only 2 of us at home, I change it every 6 months. And that's every Jan and Jun 1st. My wife says that she would lose more hair after the 4th month. Maybe I should change it every 4 months. Don't want her to be only baldy in the family. Anyways, if you have a big family, you may want to change it more frequently.

I haven't needed to replace mine.....I would look at the Daylight website to see if there is one and/or get the customer service number and inquire.

There is a cartridge that can be replaced, I don't know how often it needs to be done! I haven't had mine long enough!

I have only had the unit for about 3 -4 weeks but there is a indicator on the unit that will tell you when to change filter. I do not know if this helps.

From what I can see, you replace it. The container says to replace when it turns a certain color.

If it's been under a year, the company will replace it for you. Otherwise I have one.

We change ours every 3 months (90 days) - We have a thing set up with Amazon to send us a filter quarterly, we have an extra on hand so after I use the one I have a new one waiting. Ours has a dial on top to tell me when to change (in case I forget)

I'm sorry...I cannot answer but I'd like to find out too! I bought these (and bought some more) because they sounded like a good, logical idea but I have no earthly idea how to know when they need replacement (or if they even work, for that matter)

Why are you replacing it every 4 months ??? if your using the timer, just mark the change date on your calender and don't worry about the timer

Not to my knowledge. I think that's a separate purchase you can make when you're ready to replace.

I is extremely easy to replace. It will take you only a minute or so. Just open the back cover a take out the old, then put in the new. Easy as that...

Write to the company. Since it has only been two months they will probably replace it.

I had mine for 5 years before replacing and I used it quite often. When it became solid I knew it was time to replace.

In theory anything can be replaced. The question is, is it worth it? Many things can be fixed but we live in a throw away society and it is often not cost effective. Let's hope you don't have to find out.

I do not know if there is one or if it would be reasonable to do so, especially if you pay someone else to do the replacement. I would guess that it is not possible.

I've been changing mine every two months. Honestly not sure how often they are supposed to be changed.

Couple months, depending upon your dust levels in your house. I replace it when it starts to look gray from dust. You cna go pretty long just know that the longer you leave it, and the lighter it gets, the less efficient it becomes.
