I never used it. I got my coffee maker and tried it without the filter. I liked the taste of my coffee. Also, my old coffee maker used the round filters. I bought a whole bunch and my maker went dead. After using the 5 samples they gave me, I set the round one in, put in the grounds, and presto great coffee. You need to test which is better for you. Try it without the charcoal and see what it tastes like. Recommended change after 60 cups..

Not really sure since we use the coffee pot everyday. Not very often though. Enjoy, we love it. Wouldn't have any other one.

Instruction book says once every 60 days if used every day - or once every 60 uses - or more often if water is especially hard.

I used it 20 times already & haven't replaced it yet. Coffee stays Hot! That's why I bought it.

Check the instruction booklet or call cuisinart directly. They are very helpful.

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.

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.

Yes. The water filter is the replaceable charcoal type placed into the water reservoir. Replace about once per month or a bit more depending upon level of use. Available from Amazon.

It depends on how often you run the unit and how much dust/allergens it's filtering out of the air. If it is always running then generally the filter should be replaced every 6-8 months.

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

I've owned a unit about two years. I replaced the filter after year 1 and just replaced it the second time. The unit seemed to work OK, but the filter does get a little "grungy". I'd say replace at least once a year (I only run the unit during the winter and early Spring months-November to April)

On the old models I changed every 30 days. This one, with filter A, says it will last 3-6 months. I haven't had this one long enough to know for sure.

I haven't had to replace mine yet, but you would just call the company and tell them which model you have. They would send you the correct filter. I received an e-mail reminder after just a few months also, but wasn't ready to replace the filter yet. What you will be replacing if you have the carbon block, is just another carbon block filter like the one that you already have.

Every 3 years. (6 washings)There is also a carbon filter that they recommend replacing.

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

You shouldn't wash the charcoal prefilter, it won't absorb any smell then. You have to change it once or every other month.

I've personally left the filter unused for a month in summer with no problems. Apparently the charcoal which is a fundamental part of the filter not only helps with water taste but also keeps any mold or mildews from forming.

I change my filter every year. I used my for about 35 to 40 days a year camping

I generally change mine every 3-5 years, but it all depends on the level of pre-filtration, the level of chlorine passing through the membrane, the temperature of the water. I use a .5 or 1 Micron Carbon Block pre-filter and change it every 6 months. TFC Membranes have a very low tolerance for chlorine, so if you are not using a quality Carbon Block pre-filter, the membrane will not last as long.

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.

When the carbon filter is full you will need to replace. The LED light will turn red that's the time to change. Depending on usage i think mine lasted about a year.
