Every 3 months or longer if you're good about washing the bottle. I buy the filters in a 2 pk at target. No, it's bpa free plastc.

It is not a glass bottle. I change the filter every 3 months, but I don't use it everyday.

I change them a little longer that the recommended times. We use the filtered water only for cooking and related things. There are two time frames: One filter will last one year plus and the other two should be changed every 6 months. As I said we try to wait a little longer. Maybe 8 months for the two and 14- to 16 months on the one. It really depends on use and the quality of your water.

Wow ! You know Denise.....I never paid attention to the first filter I replaced being glass or plastic?!?! However, I think you are right. These I ordered are plastic and you cannot see through them like the glass ! Thank you for asking this question ! I won't order any more !!!! I am going to try and get my money back !

The instructions say change the filter every two months. I fill it with water every day generally.

I'm sorry, I don't have the original box or directions and can't give you specifics, but I can tell you that I have a 20-gallon tank and this filter system has kept the tank-water crystal clear, continously for the past couple of years. I change the filter about once a month. I keep the old filters, wash them thoroughly, brush them off under running water, being careful to hold the top of the layer of material firmly so that it won't fall off. Then I dry & keep them, in order to put back in the rotation. I use each one three times.

Everpure recommends that the filter be changed once a year. To help you remember, they include a water filter monitor, which you activate upon installation. Basically, it's a countdown timer. When the time expires, an alarm will sound. Hope this helps.

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

Yes the bottle is glass. The plastic cap,at least on mine, didn't tighten well though. If I tried to tighten it (to keep the smell in) it would tighten a bit then the threads would miss and it would be loose again (and smell up the cupboard).

I find that changing that filter every 12 to 18 mos. is plenty to keep the water clean and fresh. As others have said, the company says annually, but they are making money more often that way. The filter I bought here is exactly the same except it has a lower price. What is not to love about that? (put masking tape on your filter and put the date your new one should be installed right on the filter casing.)

Trust me, change it every 30 days if you want the water to be fresh. If you forget to change it for 3 months, it will smell funny and won't be filtering properly. If you have ever noticed a water bowl getting a little slippery inside, think of what a filter after 90 days in water would be like. I got rid of my fresh flow because there were too many crevices that I couldn't get clean enough and it wasn't as fresh as changing out the water in a bowl everyday.

Jeff, Does your filtration system have a light (red/yellow/green) that indicates when the filter needs to be changed? Let me know if you do, as I may have your solution! kkt

No. Something may be wrong. Is the plastic it come with off completely? check inside. Make sure the filter is in correctly.

The pitcher can't "tell" when the filter is getting old. It's just a sensor in the lid that senses how many times it's been removed, etc. So it 'guesses' when its time to replace the filter. Holding down the button resets that counter to zero so do it when you put a new, fresh filter in and the light will give you an estimate on when to change the filter. I tend to use the filter at least a month after the light goes red.

Mine did this too. I bought a whole new one instead of filters. It's only a few bucks more and you dont have to mess with the filter even if its a little wasteful.

There is no marker on the unit. I place the date unit was installed on top of the unit with a small piece of tape to tell me when the filter should be replaced. You should replace the filter one time a year to keep flow rate going at full stream and to keep the filter and container clean.

I purchased a drink well 360 for my cat. How often do I need to clean it and change the filter?

Hello Shelley, I often change the filters around 6 month and 1 year, this depends for the PH of water, I measure the PH if this drop down about 6, I change the filter.
