Last 2 filters we bought "lasted" almost exactly 6 months. Is our usage that consistent? Or does the change filter light come on every six months?

My samsung light sometime goes 7 -8 months.before lighting and we use it a lot even fill the coffee pot everyday. So I don't think it is a timer. I feel wasteful if I change it before the light goes on even if I see the flow start to reduce.

You change it every three months. I purchased this after looking at others without filters. Totally good value .

This filter is intended to be changed every 12 to 24 months. It is recommended that the average household change it every 12 months for optimal performance and 18 months for optimal value.

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.

There is a pre-filter that you have to change. There is an indicator to tell you when to change filters. How often depends on what setting you run. I run mine at medium 24/7, high for 1 hour after vacuuming. I change filters about every1 1/2 - 2 months. They're not expensive.

Depends how much you use it. I was only using mine at night, and the filter lasted almost a year.

I've had mine for two years & haven't replaced the filter yet. So, I don't know. It depends on how much you use it I guess.

With this particular filter, we change it every three months, I hope this helps :)

I ordered this replacement and it works http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000B8URLI/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have read that you are supposed to replace the filter 1xper year, but who knows what kind of usage they are basing that off of. I replaced mine after only 4 or 5 months (when I started noticing a considerable difference), but I hadn't realized until afterward that you are supposed to reverse the filter every 30 days. I am hoping if I do that it will last at least a few more months this time.

We've used Pur filters for quite awhile and they always lasted me months. But this last batch of filters have had the same problem as everyone else here. The filters are lasting about two weeks. They never used to do that! I'm angry, too. These things are expensive and to replace them is going to be expensive.

The company that installed my new system said that this filter would last one year. But when they came out to do an inspection after one year, the guy said that I should have changed the filter earlier. I now change the filter every six months. So far, that seems to be about the right amount of time.

We've had ours for about a year. No issues yet, just need to change the filter.

The filter lasted approx. 6 months. It would all depend on the quality of your water. This one was used in an apt. setting with city water, so I thought is was well worth the money.

Printed on the edge of the filter: "Change every 6 to 12 months - more often if the filter appears dirty." My HVAC person recommended every 6 months.

I have had mine for a little over a year with no wear and tear. I wouldn't be surprised if the filter lasts for another 2 years. I put it through its paces, using it every other day for a few mins and for extended periods while cleaning once a month.

When the filter needs to be changed, the water flow slows down. It all depends on how many contaminants are in your water. My water is pretty clean, so I only have to replace the filter every 6 months.
