how do you replace the filters?

Squeeze in the center of the old filter and pull it out. There is a square one and a round one. Put in the new filters the same way - work them into the top of the lid until they are smooth. Square one first then the round one.

Hello- I haven't had to replace anything yet. I use this at our place at the beach. The only thing I've had to do so far is vacuum the filter. That says a lot considering our place is beachfront and the wind is constantly blowing dust and sand into any possible opening it can find.

Cut them, if its the ones under filter. Then you have the locks that snap in.

I don't know the answer to that, I just use the filters that came with it.Remember to clean them after each use.

The correct way is to replace them, although I'm sure you could rinse them without any damage to the filter.A new filter comes with the unit. Hope this helps ~

I also got the wrong filter. Have you figured out how to get a replacement?

after you pull the back cover off (the cover holds that black flimsy filter), there is a module that covers most of the back of the unit that is attached with plastic clips. Grab the module (it's about 12"x6"x2" in dimensions) and gently pull away from the unit. That's the filter in your hand. You need to replace that periodically with a fresh module. As for the black flimsy one, I vacuum him off and put him back in, I don't replace him. Hope that helps.

Did you double check that the new filters are properly in place? I would take them out and put them in again. Otherwise, call the customer service number for assistance at 1-800-541-6645. I hope this helps.

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.

I just replace the filters according to the time table or volume guide that comes with the unit.

It is very simple. Just remove the water tank and you will see a little white twist screw that you turn to unlock the housing. Lift off the housing and you will see the 2 filters.. If you have trouble finding the filters you can measure these and go to the store and buy any replacement filters that are that size or larger and cut them to fit. The little plastic hangers that they have on your old filters you can squeeze the end and pull apart and use them on your the ones you made. The filters will still work if you cannot get the hangers off the old filters, they are supported by plastic around them in the housing.. It is very simple.

Just take the top off and there should be a black flap. Undo the flap and replace with new filter. Make sure u take the plastic wrapper off of it.!

I have only had to change the filter once so far, and it is easy. You just remove the front cover, pull the old one out (have a trash bag handy because ours was gross and covered in dust). Then pop in the new one.

There are two filters. One square and the other round. To remove simply grab close to the outside edge and begin to pull it out all the way around. To insert new ones simply begin stuffing it in and work your way around the lid. Use a finger to straighten out any part that did not go flat.

I can't find them either. Washing the filter is fine but eventually it needs to be replaced. I wouldnt' buy this product again on that basis.

AnThe handle for the "filter holder" can be found inside along with the water reservoir. When you open the top lid to pour your water into the reservoir, you should see the top of the handle on the left of the reservoir. Pull up and at the bottom of the handle( it is about 6" long) is the small carrier for the filter that is the same shape of the filter. Snap apart and replace filter. Snap shut and slide it back in its place beside the reservoir. Hope this helps. swer here...

There is no filter that needs replacing. The Optimus comes with a "permanent" filter. They're like little marble balls in a cone with slots in it. It just needs to be rinsed when you clean the unit.
