How often do the filters need to be changed? Are the replacement filters expensive?

A replacement filter packs appears to run between $40-$50. It is suppose to last 6 months, but it really varies depending on the amount of dust/dander you have in your house. We have a lot of cats and all the cat litter is really dusty, so we have to change the charcoal pre-filter more often. You can vacuum the pre-filter to extend it's life a little bit.

The heating & air conditioning system I have recommends every 6 months. I know if you don't change them when the filter is dirty it will shorten the life of some components, particularly the fan motor due to the additional load caused by restricted air flow through the filter.

I haven't had to replace mine as yet (just got it last week). But I will check Amazon for pre-filter and filter. I just checked and Amazon carries the filters for $33.

I replace the filter about every 9-10 months. It runs 24/7 on fan speed -2 except for those weeks when the weather is nice and we open the house. I wash the foam pre- filter every month

Replacement filter is $59. We recommend to replace it every 6000 liters or 6-12 months depending on the usage. Thank you!

I believe it is every four months, but they have a "filter club" you can join when you buy and they'll automatically send you any replacement filters as needed on a subscription basis so you won't have to give it a thought. My unit was very recently purchased, that's why I'm unclear on the timing...

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.

When the filter needs changing....yes!!! It's gross. And, the filters don't last long!

I believe they suggest every 3-4 months...I purchased the filters online at amazon actually.

These are replacement filters for the suggested 1 year maintenance, I haven't heard of any "new" filter designs. I'd also consider stretching the timeline, depending on the quality of your water. You may realize you won't need to switch filters as often as Ispring recommends.

Hi Janet. This unit does not have filters that need to be replaced. Thanks.

I contacted the manufacturer in Vista, CA with the same question. The answer I received is that the life of the filters depends on the water. I live in Yuma, AZ where the water is very hard and full of minerals. I was told to change the filter elements every year. They aren't that expensive and it would be worth it to me to change them out yearly.

I have not changed the filter in my units yet. I have cleaned them, meaning I have knocked the dust off them. But I have not replaced them. There is a small somewhat fragile one in there that you want to be careful with as I guess there is no replacement. The other is larger, maybe paper although I don't remember for sure. This is the one I have knocked the dust off.

Most of the filters say replace annually, bit it really depends upon your usage. I usually replace every other year and I haven't had issues with water quality...

The manufacturer suggests changing the filter every six months. I waited for a year. A light will come on to let you know the filters need to be changed. After you change them, you will need to reset the light.

According to their website, filters should be replaced every 6 months. We've been using ours since 9/2012 and haven't replaced the filter yet. The water is still tasting good. Your water usage would effect how often the filter needs replacing.

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.
