Nothing to replace, just thump it upside down and it knocks the water and crud out. Also just rinse it out. It's not made of filter material, it's a fine screen that lets fuel through, but not water.

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

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.

Nope. You have to establish a replacement plan. http://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/565212O/3m-adflo-cartridge-filter-optimization-and-filter-replacement.pdf?fn=Cartridge&FilterReplaceProgram_7

I believe you replace the entire cartridge...there is no replacing just the filter. You can order a prefilter that snaps over the top of the 6001. I think it is 5000 something. Mike

I find one site that sells cartridges (houzz.com) says "Each filter cartridge should be replaced within 45 to 60 days depending on usage. Today I talked to the UnitedStatesian distributor (not the Amazon distributor in Canada), and he says it's good for roughly 6-8 months showering 2 times a day.

Good question, doesn't seem to have a standard and it would really depend on the water you use. I would replace it whenever it looks dirty. Check monthly or less often if you are using filtered water.

I believe by the time you use up the filter u will need to replace the whole unit. That is my opinion But by the time u pump 30000 gallons through it it will be wore out and so will u. But it will keep u going I a pinch. I've used it several times and it will take a lot to wear out a filter.

There is a cartridge that can be replaced, I don't know how often it needs to be done! I haven't had mine long enough!

I would recommend the filter without hesitation. I only pull the cartridge out once a year if that. I normally just remove the top, pull the plug and rinse it out. I like to pull the cartridge once a year just to inspect it.

Assuming that you are on a regulated city water supply...That filter cartridge is good for 3 months or 500 gallons under normal use. Make sure you are not running hot water through the filter as that can cause it to come apart. You can also try running the water through the filter more slowly rather than wide open. Also - Open up the housing, remove the filter and clean the housing. Use some fragrance free chlorine bleach to disinfect the housing, rinse and dry well and reinsert the filter. Make sure to orient the filter cartridge so that the indicator arrow is pointing down towards the counter top while in final position.

When you start to notice less water coming through the device, you take out the filter and flip it over. You should then have at least another 3 months before you need to completely replace the filter.

The filters will need to be replaced after 3,000 to 6,000 gallons of water filtered per filter, depending on whether you are filtering tap water or pond water or other water that is dirty.

The life of the filter will vary based on the level of TDS in your water. You should change the filter once your meter reads 006. On average a filter will process between 25-30 gallons of water. The less TDS your water contains, the less often you will need to change your filters.

The filter is the only part to replace & that lasts for up to 300 gallons, of course if you are filtering really dirty water you would have to replace sooner.

It takes the large filter cartridge. Not the extra large. I am trying these now and I am impressed. I put them on 30 gal tanks filled with baby fish and they are working great!

The replacement cartridges are easily exchanged. For a family of four drinking two liters of water each per day, the cartridge should last one year. You will see the cost here on Amazon of $199. To change them the top spout pulls off along with the top cover and the cartridge easily screws off and the new one screws back on. The ease and simplicity of the UltraStream is also what makes it so affordable. Please let us know if you have more questions and thank you for your interest.
