How often does the expensive filter need to be replaced?

I am not sure if that was what was wrong with mine. It started making a horrendous noise and I ended up throwing it away because it wasn't picking up much at all. that was about the 6th or 7th time I used it.

Yes, the filter does need to be replaced, however, not often.Order filters through DeLonghi. I have not need to replace mine yet and I've used the machine approximately 10 times.

The directions for the platinum model say the filter should be changed every two to four weeks. It also says you can thoroughly rinse the filter and put it back in. I've had no problems with doing that.

once every 6months at full use. mine is used for 2 ppl so i plan on changing after a year. i will upgrade the ceramic filter at that point.

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...

Depends on how often you run the machine...I run mine about 12 hours per day and I change the filters about every 18 months.

My last one lasted several years. I replaced it because the corner of the filter screen was coming apart so too many grounds were coming through.

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

The whole filter gets replaced. I don't replace mine every 6 months either; I do it on a as needed basis. I can smell the chorine in the water right away. I typically keep one on hand to change out.

When the filter needs to be changed, the water flow slows down. It all depends on how many contaminants are in your water. My water is pretty clean, so I only have to replace the filter every 6 months.

There is a permanent filter that can just be rinsed and an additional optional replaceable filter that can be used in front of the perma-filter. Not sure of the cost but replaceable filters need to be changed every 3-4 months....additional notes, this unit has a pretty loud fan if used on medium or high speed.

I change mine every 6 to 9 months. It greatly depends on how wet the conditions are, and how good the inside filter does. All depends on how bad the system enviroment is.

I haven't had any problems with mine since I put it in. Mine been in for at least four months now, my old filter in had to clean it every month and half.

I change mine every 6 months but it depends on the hardness of your water. The filter can not be serviced. I usually recycle it with my plastics.

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

I assume your asking if the filter needed to be replaced and the answer is no. That said, after several weeks of continuous operation there was more dust on the outside of the unit than the filter. I wouldn't recommend this unit to anyone.

Replace the white filter when it blackens. I have to replace it about every 3 months
