How often does the filter need replacing and can it just be cleaned out and is it easy to re-install?

I replace mine about every 6 months. As long as you have a shutoff valve ahead of the filter it's an easy un-screw the old, screw in the new replacement operation. I put a bucket underneath it to catch any water during the replacement (very little spills out.) Takes a couple of minutes at most.

It recommends every 6 months to replace it or if your water pressure slows down .It is just like a fridge filter it just screws on. it can not be cleaned out . I have a shut off just before it to make it easier to change.

The AP430 SS is really a scale inhibitor and should be changed around twice a year depending on water hardness in your area. based on the design the cartridge can only be replaced not cleaned.

I believe everyone lives in different locations and every location has different water contents and could need changing sooner that recommended as stated to replace every 6 months and is very easy to change.

I cannot say. It snapped off when I was installing it. I never ordered a new one. However, I suspect expected life is around 3 months but will very on how hard or soft your water is.

I change mine every 6 months but it depends on the hardness of your water. The filter can not be serviced. I usually recycle it with my plastics.

I have only had to change the filter once so far, and it is easy. You just remove the front cover, pull the old one out (have a trash bag handy because ours was gross and covered in dust). Then pop in the new one.

Yes, the filter does need to be replaced, however, not often.Order filters through DeLonghi. I have not need to replace mine yet and I've used the machine approximately 10 times.

I replace mine once a month. You could probably go a bit longer if you don't have hard water and if you clean the humidifier once a week as recommended. I do a thorough clean only once a month and replace the filter at that time since it gets all gunky from both the dust it sucks in and the hard water build-up.

Yes it is easy to clean, but be careful around the inside base when you are changing the filter, as ours snapped off after we had it for about 6 months. KJ

First of all the cleaner the filter, the faster it filters. When it is new, it will filter the full amount in about 6 hours. After the filter gets some use, it will take a bit longer. I take mine out and wash them every 3-4 months and change them once a year.

you have to replace filter once awhile. Depends on your air quality. I do it every 6 - 8 months. Just buy the matching homeimage filter on Amazon.

and usage...if you run it 24/7. I would change every three or four months. Some folks just vacuum the filters. I'm goona try it.)

Hello- I haven't had to replace anything yet. I use this at our place at the beach. The only thing I've had to do so far is vacuum the filter. That says a lot considering our place is beachfront and the wind is constantly blowing dust and sand into any possible opening it can find.

Really clean the filter or replace it. We need to clean the filter at least every two weeks of use.

Eventually the filter will need to be replaced. The replacement Frequency depends on usage. In my case, usage is moderate, less than 12 hours per week, so I expect the filter will last several years. The "cleaner" mechanism works very well to remove the more coarse grain dust, but the very fine dust will get trapped in the filter and build up over time. I am very pleased with the performance of this unit. I added a third party remote to complete the configuration.

Replacement filters may be purchased direct from the manufacturer. Honestly we only need to replace them once a year as I clean the machine once a month with a vacuum/ brush and microfiber cloth. We've all had our filters (2-3 in each housed) for 4-5 years. I just bought a new one for another bedroom. Excellent air purifiers.

They recommend changing the filter every 6 months. I believe the warranty if for the entire unit. There is a filter inside that has to be changed.

I have gotten away with not changing it for about two months. BUT that required me to keep the unit dust - free and clean on the inside as well s the outside. It also depends on how often you' re using it. If you use it constantly. then you will have to plan on changing the filter every month for sure.

I only needed to replace mine at most, once a month. I would say it really depends on if you leave the filter on when you feed your fish. By turning it off during feeding, I could sometimes go 2-3 months before changing it.

I do as they recommend, scrub the dome once a month and replace the 5 layer filter every 6-8 months. The dome gets minerals deposits on it so it is good to clean it. Only takes 5 minutes.

You can pull the filter out as many times as you want it's just a little sponge that you pull out from the bottom But I would say it can vary with how much use you put in to it before it needs to be cleaned
