How long does the filter last?

Its gonna depend on how bad the water is that your putting in it to be filtered. I bought one, and I wish I hadnt. It leakes, and doesn't hold very much water. I'm constantly refilling it.

Not sure. It depends on how much 'work' the filter has to do to remove the bad parts. So far, where we live, it still is showing no change in the filter sensor.

I change the filter for our pooch about once per month. Depends on how hard the water is where you live. If you use filtered water it should last much longer.

Depends how much you use it. I was only using mine at night, and the filter lasted almost a year.

That's about it... The one that came with the cleaner lasted about that long as well.. After average use of once a week and occasional cleaning of the filter, I replace them in 10-12 months. If you have pets, more often probably!!

Yes, but only 1 if I recall correctly. A single filter should last about 3 months.

The filter lasted approx. 6 months. It would all depend on the quality of your water. This one was used in an apt. setting with city water, so I thought is was well worth the money.

On the old models I changed every 30 days. This one, with filter A, says it will last 3-6 months. I haven't had this one long enough to know for sure.

Eventually the filter will need to be replaced. As long as you take care of it it last a long time.

I am not sure, but they have lasted us about the same time as the original filter supplied by the MFG, about 6 months. We are a family of two.

I believe one should last about 6 months, but I don't have any pets. What I usually do is run the filter under some water and give it a good clean and its like new.

It really depends on your water. The higher the number from the wand (ppm) of your water the faster the filter will need to be changed. Our water unfiltered is about 34 and after 5 months we are on the same filter. We use at least two pitchers of water each day, usually more.

about 6-8 months if you have about 5 glasses a water a day. You will notice a slight change in taste when the filter is used up.

I am cleaning the fountain once a month & do replace the filters. They say they last 2-4 weeks. I have 3 small dogs & 2 cats using the fountain if this helps. They love it!

The filter comes with a small liquid type of timer with adhesive that attaches to the filter and you activate when installing it.Depending on the number of persons the filter may last 4 - 6 months. You will know when to change it by a noticeable drop in pressure.

The unit has a timer that reminds you to change the filter every 6 months. I changed the filter for the first time this month (I've only had my GermGuardian 6 months) but after I did I realized the filter wasn't all that dirty, probably could have easily been wiped off and would have lasted at least another 3 months. We have a large dog but live in Seattle where there's not a TON of dust in the air. We run it 24/7 on medium.

Naturally, it depends on how much you use it, but we get at least a month or two out of each filter. We can tell by the taste when it needs to be changed.

Could it be that it expires if you don't begin to use it for five years? The filters are fabulous, and will last up to 6 months if your water is normal. Ours is hard and full of rust, and it works for about 2 on average. Totally worth the 10 dollars.
