The filter can be changed either 6 months or a year, but you must remove the front panel and vacuum off any debris about every 2 months, depending on how dirty it gets will determine how often you have to do this.

The instructions say to change the carbon filter every 3 months. There is an indicator light for the HEPA filter.

I haven't change my carbon filters as of yet and the other filter the manufacture say's its good for a year. Which that to me remain to be seen.I say that only because I have only had my 2 unit up and run for 2 months on auto any have only shut them off to check the filters and they all look just fine.My units came package with 3 extra carbon filters.

Of course it ultimately depends on the environment you're in I've read that they last anywhere from 6 to 12 months, so far I have yet to change mine. I open it periodically to look at it and it is still pretty clean, the black pre-filter catches more and needs replacing more in my opinion. With four dogs I'm thinking of replacing the black filter soon on mine but it does come with extras when you buy it. It does have a filter light that will come on when the main filter needs to be changed as well.

I have only had the unit for about 3 -4 weeks but there is a indicator on the unit that will tell you when to change filter. I do not know if this helps.

Personally I havnt had to change the filters as of yet and my machines run 24/7. I'm figuring every few months or so. The machines do come with replacement filters:)

The manufacturer recommends every six months, you can rinse the carbon filter. The machine has an indicator light that tells you when the filter needs changing. I personally love the winix and it controls smoke and dust very well!

and usage...if you run it 24/7. I would change every three or four months. Some folks just vacuum the filters. I'm goona try it.)

The directions for the platinum model say the filter should be changed every two to four weeks. It also says you can thoroughly rinse the filter and put it back in. I've had no problems with doing that.

When the lights comes on to change it, you can simply clean out the filters yourself then reset the light. When the filters get too bad or if you don't want to deal with all that, you can change them but they are expensive. I change about 6-9 months or when the filter is really bad.

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.

I have gotten away with not changing it for about two months. BUT that required me to keep the unit dust - free and clean on the inside as well s the outside. It also depends on how often you' re using it. If you use it constantly. then you will have to plan on changing the filter every month for sure.

I change all the filters once per year with the exception of the membrane. That one is good for three years.

As recommended by Friis, you should change the valve filter every 60 days. The unit will include 6 replacement valve filters.

They recommend changing the filter every 6 months. I believe the warranty if for the entire unit. There is a filter inside that has to be changed.

I replace mine once a month. You could probably go a bit longer if you don't have hard water and if you clean the humidifier once a week as recommended. I do a thorough clean only once a month and replace the filter at that time since it gets all gunky from both the dust it sucks in and the hard water build-up.

The water will need to be changed once a month about 25% of the water. The filters last quite a while because the filter system is actually designed for a 5 gallon aquarium. Once you notice the filter over filling that's when you change it

I replace mine about every 6 months. As long as you have a shutoff valve ahead of the filter it's an easy un-screw the old, screw in the new replacement operation. I put a bucket underneath it to catch any water during the replacement (very little spills out.) Takes a couple of minutes at most.

I would clean and do a full water change once a week. The filters are easy to find on amazon for cheap too and should be changed out every 6 weeks or so. Other than full water change and just wiping down with a paper towel, it's a pretty low maintenance tank.

I change it every 6-8 weeks and I buy them from Amazon. Since the water sits out for approximately a week (unlike our human water), it's a good idea to use the filters.

It is hard to say. The old filters used to have an indicator which was a no-brainer. I usually change mine every few (3) months or so (when I remember). If you notice the water filters more slowly, I would suggest to change it.

Depending on hours run and amount of particulates in the air, every 2-6 months. If you get one of these: G99 Air Filter Gage and install it properly (quite easy) it will tell you when to change filters. Pays for itself in the long run.

About 3 weeks. I smell them everytime I change the water. It is obvious when the smell changes, change the filter.
