I don't see expiration date, but I do see the packaging has copyright ©2012. I can tell you when it runs out if you want.

What is your question? I can't understand why these filters would expire after two or three years if you have not installed them. Perhaps the expiration applies if they've been installed and water has run through them. If you install and let them sit there for three years I can then understand having to change them after two/three year; even if they just sat there unused.

"dispose of filter after 40 hours of use or 30 days, whichever is first" - http://multimedia.3m.com/mws/mediawebserver?6666660Zjcf6lVs6EVs6662M_COrrrrQ-&WT.mc_id=www.3m.com/filterchange

If the filter is still in the original packaging it wont just poof expire. But the filter inside the unit does need replaced after use I find after about 30-50 gallons of water but have been told as low as 25 and as high as 100 gallons. I think its one of those if the water is clean it pumps more water and the closer you use it together time wise the more it pumps but not exactly sure. Remember to always carry iodine pills for backup.

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.

The expiration date on the one I received is January, 2015. In my opinion, the expiration date should be at LEAST a year.

I didn't see a expiration date on the box. So I'm not sure if they have a "use by date". We use the filtered water and ice often (2 people in the household). They last about 6 months. And the savings on the purchase price for 2 filters was not substantial enough to buy more than one at a time. Besides, I always need something from Amazon to add a water filter to the order.

You can find the date at the bottom near the barcode. It doesn't expire for me till 2019 and bought this 6 pack couple months ago.

I don't see a date on an individual filter element or the box in which it came.

I can't tell you how long it lasts since I am still using it. Be sure and get the pre-filter which will keep most of the dirt off of this filter.

Good question. But, why would it be out of the package, unless opened by mistake? I record changing my filter on computer calendar. I would simply shorten the time (to 3 months maximum) if the filter is out of the package. 8/4/2014 I'm editing this. RFC-BBSa is 25 microns, good for 10,000 gallons, 6 months.

I would not see why they could not be stored.There is no expiration date on the filters themselves, so they should last forever, I would think.

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.

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.
