Does the filter really last for years?

Yes. For sure. 4-5 years typically. I have cats and it's more like 3-4 yrs. It's a great air purifier.

We just changed ours after 4-5 years and it was dirty. The machine did seem to work well all that time, so it's not like it lost air flow from being overly dirty. Make sure to vacuum the outside periodically (it will get dusty) so that air can flow in.

I have had mine for a year now and I have no complaints with it. I have not needed to use the replacement filter I bought at the time I bought the original filter. It works great, I have used it regularly for when there have been forest fires in the area and the air quality was considered unhealthy and just when I feel like having it on. I don't know if that answers your question, because I have only had it for one year.

Absolutely. It is a very heavy carbon filter unlike probably any other air filter you've seen. The smaller particle filter is heavy duty (wraps around the core) and can be vacuumed clean. With cleaning every 3 - 4 months, it will last and performs well. Our previous one was used at least 5 years.

I change all the filters once per year with the exception of the membrane. That one is good for three years.

My filters have lasted years because I take good care of the carbon filters and I keep he unit clean.

Yes, I have had this filter on my 30,000 gal pool for over 10 years and it has always worked well.

Mine last about 3 months even though I used it a little longer until I ended up ordering a 3 pack. There's also a sensor that tells you when the filter is done.

I work in the lab thats why i can check the quality of my water from this filter. In my community this filter can last for 4 years. By the way I have a pre filter connected to this unit. The life of the filter is subjective to the water quality and your usage. Take an optional water quality testing.

The filter that comes with the unit will last a long time. I have been using this for about 6 months and the pre-filter is still good. For maintenance, I vacuum it twice a week and boy this really sucks in a lot of dust specially during the winter time when the heater is always running. So maybe if you clean regularly, it will last a good 6 months.

Not completely sure about this one, but the last shower filter I had lasted 1 year, so I'm assuming it the same for this.

The best practice is to change it every 8 to 12 months. Even flowing strongly after that time filter could have lost part of its filtering properties.

The filter comes with a cartridge inside. It is supposed to last for up to 2 years. My water has never been so clean.

I've been using mine for 6 months and haven't washed the filter yet...oops. It hasn't seemed to need it though.

I've been using the filter for years and have never had any problems at all.

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.

Since the filter is ceramic, my husband said it would last a long time, unless it got broke. But he did say it could probably be found on the internet. Sorry thats all I know about it.

The filters claim to be good for a year. I have had them installed for 9 months and my water still tastes great.

The pre-filters seem to last about 4-6 months. We have dogs and that may affect filter life, although they may be on an automatic countdown timer.

When I bought the system it said on the box that for a family of 4 the filter should last about 1 year or something like that - now depending also of usage. I would at least change it once a year even twice in fact as I got more filters with my last order.
