Is the filter dark or white?

It is brown on the regular premier and since I have purchased the premier lightes I believe the filter on that was white.

The filter itself is white, but the paper around the filter end is a traditional speckled dark (burnt orangish) color.

There is no research on light filters that I have found. I bought the "white" because it dims the light without color - helps with migraines.

The black filter is 8.5 inches and 8.75 including the shoulder the screw threads into 2.5 inch diameter. The white filter is 6.25 high including the end protrusions and 5.25 for the length of the body only - it is also 2.5 inches in diameter. Hope this helps!

You do not see it in the picture but it is a sponge filter and power head in one. It is a small black rectangle.

I have one of each and they are both the same except for the color. Both of them came with a filter.

Yes, the White and Black filters are used in tandem. The White screws onto the Black.

There is no indicator that the filter is outdated, but it gets darker in color. It can be washed and reused, but I do not know how this impacts its effectiveness.

I've had several healthmate units for many years and have only used black filters--just now finding out about a white filter. I always thought the black filter was infused with carbon and maybe the white filter doesn't have carbon.

actually it is white, no black at all, the black is the window. I hope this helps

Yes, there IS an indicator for filter life...it's on the top of the unit between the faucet and the filter. BUT....it's not electronic, so there is no "light," per se. It's a mechanical indicator, under a lens, that moves slowly as water passes over it; when enough water has run through the filter, the indicator starts to show red, and when it's completely red, it's time to change the filter. The problem is that it's not electronic, which means that it has no actual light itself, but rather depends on reflection from light outside the filter. I found that while I could sometimes see it at night with the light over the sink turned on, it was much more reliably visible by shining a flashlight down into the little port.

Sorry can't really answer this accurately because they sent me the wrong filter.

Agreed - Amazon doesn't do enough to describe the product. That said, the photo they supply is accurate, as the filters that come with it are the 0.6, 0.9, and the 1.2 neutral density filters. It was exactly what I was looking for and despite the lack of information, I'm very happy with the purchase. Hope that helps.

Filter is plastic w/ white mesh. 2"deep and 5 1/4 " diameter. It works the same as the gold filter, I am sure

Mine was / is gray, although the product description said white. I don't mind, white tends to show dirt more, and the gray is fairly subtle.
