Would like to know how often filters need changing on avg. and how much they cost--

The frequency of changing filters depends a lot on the water quality entering the filter. I have installed two of these on two rural wells that had hard rusty water. I installed an iron filter followed by a water softener ahead of this filter and now have great water for the house and excellent drinking water where before I had issues with stained clothing and rust colored fixtures. In my case the filters have not been changed yet although its not 2 years yet. If you're worried about knowing when to change filters there is a dissolved solids meter for sale for about $30 that can help you make the decision.

Yes I had to change this filter within 2 months. We are on a public well water system which is on the edge of our property. Never did find out why the filters would not last any longer than 2 months. Found them too expense to keep so I quit with this system and installed an under the counter re- osmosis system bought from Amazon at about the same price as 2 FQSLF filers. these filter cost much less and last at least a year...

We recommend changing the filters every 6 to 8 months. The replacement HAPF30 filters can be found at http://bit.ly/1Hgofjv.

The filters and the UV bulb should be changed annually or as needed (#ISetTMUL-MY12 $105.95), and the membrane every 3-5 years or as needed (#Mem-TFC50 $56.00).

We recommend changing the filter every 6 to 8 months. However, the filter life will depend upon the environment in which it is used.

Depending on hours run and amount of particulates in the air, every 2-6 months. If you get one of these: G99 Air Filter Gage and install it properly (quite easy) it will tell you when to change filters. Pays for itself in the long run.

I find that changing that filter every 12 to 18 mos. is plenty to keep the water clean and fresh. As others have said, the company says annually, but they are making money more often that way. The filter I bought here is exactly the same except it has a lower price. What is not to love about that? (put masking tape on your filter and put the date your new one should be installed right on the filter casing.)

Hi, I wanted to update this info. In looking at all various pricing of these filters, I must say that the quality and price of these, are the best in what's out there!! I'd say that they're worth it!! I change mine often.. I live in dusty Arizona!

I haven't had to replace mine as yet (just got it last week). But I will check Amazon for pre-filter and filter. I just checked and Amazon carries the filters for $33.

That depends on how dirty the air is in the home. Some people change the filter every 6-8 months, other people can go 8-12 months. At our house it depends on things like how dusty the outside air happens to be. When conditions are dry and windy there is more dust in the air. When we have construction going on inside there is more dust. I have changed ours anywhere from 6-9 months depending on the conditions.

I got them here on amazon. You'd be surprised how long the filters last. I see 10 clue st a day on average and a filter will last me a out a month.

I believe it is every four months, but they have a "filter club" you can join when you buy and they'll automatically send you any replacement filters as needed on a subscription basis so you won't have to give it a thought. My unit was very recently purchased, that's why I'm unclear on the timing...

I change the membrane once a year and the filters every six months. Works well for me.

So far our filter has been holding up pretty good. I haven't had the chance to change it yet. Sorry.

With this particular filter, we change it every three months, I hope this helps :)
