Is there a way to know when its time to change the filter?

The product comes with information that will let u know. It provides a reminder sticker as well.

Actually yes. You'll know when it needs to be replaced because the flow of the water will decrease. In general the manufactor recommends replacing it every 6 months with your average 10,000 gallon usage. Main reason I purchased this filter was for the chlorine smell reduction and it does a pretty good job at that. Having said that, I will more than likely replace it every 4 months because the Chlorine really get's to me while showering and it's a great neutralizer for that. I hope this helps.

The product provides information as to when the filter should be changed. It also provides a reminder sticker.

Simple....did the flow reduce to an unbearable level, or the chlorine smell return? That's when you change it.

This is my first use of this filter so I am not sure. I am hoping to make it to 6 since I am the only one using the shower, but I will change sooner if I notice a decline in the water quality or begin to smell chlorine as the other responder said.

sadly the answer is no. I think I will know when that strong chlorine smell returns that it is time to replace the filter.

The manufacturer suggests changing the filter every six months. I waited for a year. A light will come on to let you know the filters need to be changed. After you change them, you will need to reset the light.

I have not changed the filter in my units yet. I have cleaned them, meaning I have knocked the dust off them. But I have not replaced them. There is a small somewhat fragile one in there that you want to be careful with as I guess there is no replacement. The other is larger, maybe paper although I don't remember for sure. This is the one I have knocked the dust off.

I don't know. When the light went out I simply marked the calendar as to when to change the filter.

We change our filters every 6 months, which is the recommended time. There are only 2 of us in the household, so it might be necessary to change it more often--or less--depending on number of people on the system. I would not want to wait until I noticed a change in water taste or quality. Why take a chance of getting a case of the trots?

I haven't been following a strict schedule for changing filters. My bride is my "canary in the coal mine" for determining when to change. When she says the water doesn't taste right, I change the filters. If that doesn't help, I change the membrane. I would expect, and this is an off the wall guess. If your TDS reading gets above 30, it might be time to change.

Although, I haven't had to change the filter yet, I have had the original filter out several times. it may be a little tight but I just pull it out.

I bought a new machine because my filter finally wore out. By that time, the timer or sensor wasn't working exactly right anyway. They aren't that expensive to replace the whole thing.

and usage...if you run it 24/7. I would change every three or four months. Some folks just vacuum the filters. I'm goona try it.)

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.

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.

It depends on how soon your scale build up on the filter. I change mine once a month from November to April.

There is no external measure for determining when to change the filter. So I change it on a schedule basis, every 3 months.

Jeff, Does your filtration system have a light (red/yellow/green) that indicates when the filter needs to be changed? Let me know if you do, as I may have your solution! kkt

Just changed the filter a few times. Haven't tried to take apart and reassemble yet.

Yes, there is s little indicator on the top that shows green for new filters and as it gets older it changes to red.
