Does the zero water filter need to be replaced?

There isn't a filter. It's just a stand and a jar for the water to go into.

There is no filter. Typically you would be using bottled water and no filter would be needed.

Yes it does. And depending on how hard the water is in your area, it may filter for quite a while or need to be changed sooner. This is a wooden stand with a ceramic receptacle only. You will have to buy the Zero Water filtering unit to sit on top of the ceramic, similar to a 5 gallon water bottle.

No, I'm sorry!! Each brand has it's own filter, as far as I know. It would be neat if there was a universal. The Zero is far superior....for my needs, anyway, and the filters last at least 3 times longer. I have stream water, and that's saying something!!

Replace the filter. Water isn't filtering because the filter is clogging and needs to be replaced.

I don't believe so. Where I used to live the water flow through the filter would reduce greatly after about a month so I would then go ahead and replace. Where I live now the flow is still strong and it's been about two months but I'll probably go ahead and replace it within the next couple weeks.

How about reading the manual. It's online. Pull out the water container. Reach in and pull the filter down. It is towards the the front of the unit. Wash, dry and replace.

Short term yes you can do without but water is hard to maintain quality over long time and no filter means no oxygen in the water so it goes bad faster. Small water tester should let you know when its time to start over.

I think they officially want you to replace them every 6 months but I usually replace them around once a year. It depends on your usage. I have it hooked up to a below counter ice maker & also a drinking water dispenser above counter. When the water starts running slow on the dispenser I replace the filter.

I haven't yet had to replace the filter. I don't use it that much. My filter is a permanent filter and I just empty it in the trash when I use it.

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.

As far as I've seen, you shouldn't need a filter after the unit. We have one anyway, to catch anything that goes through during the backwash process (while the unit is not filtering the water).

Hi. From what I could gather from the instruction, the filter screen is a rinse and reuse item. No replacement necessary. I imagine if you used it so much that you just totally wore it out, you would just replace the while thing. Otherwise, just rinse, it seems.

Yes you still need to replace it. Distilled water is not treated and often is able to grow more bacteria (no chlorine) so your filter can actually become a breeding ground for bacteria that are put into the air should you not replace it regularly.

You don't have to replace them, they are plastic. If you find yourself needing to backflush every 3 or 4 days, then the filter is pretty full. You can either remove them and clean them and reuse, or replace with new ones and then clean them for another change out once the filter fills again. I swap mine about every 5 or 6 months and clean in between. The filter is excellent at cleaning the water.

Yes. A filter is unnecessary. However, depending on whether your water source is full of minerals or organics, you might want to add a filter. I added a filter.

I am not sure you would have to especially if you install a filter before it however if you don't they sell replacement tubes.I would think if it is that dirty a filter would be my first concern.

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.

Yes it has five different filters and it removes everything and the water has no taste at all. That is why they call it zero water.
