We use these filters, one is a micro filter, the other a charcoal filter, at our lake cabin. We are there almost every weekend May through September. We have been Very happy with this system. Prior to having this we would haul our drinking water to the lake. Now we don't have to do that. It is very easy to install. We read up on this unit and for our usage it is suppose to last approximately a year. It all depends on the quality of water in your area. We will be purchasing more filters for next summer!

It comes with 2 filters that last about 6 months. You have to replace them with new ones ...bought on Amazon. We still love ours almost a year later.

The pre-filters seem to last about 4-6 months. We have dogs and that may affect filter life, although they may be on an automatic countdown timer.

Depends on your usage, how hard your water is and how often you clean it. If you maintain properly, it should last 3 to 6 months. Google how to clean a humidifier filter. Cleaning it is the key to its longevity.

I have used these filters for the past 1 1/2 years without any problems. Sorry you encountered a problem.

Manufacturer says 1 yr. I doubt if we have to replace ours at 1 yr, just vacuum the pre filter monthly. That will make a big difference on how long the filter lasts.

Could it be that it expires if you don't begin to use it for five years? The filters are fabulous, and will last up to 6 months if your water is normal. Ours is hard and full of rust, and it works for about 2 on average. Totally worth the 10 dollars.

Our shower is used about 2-3 times daily. Our area has extremely hard water so our filters only last about 3-4 months. I change them when my skin starts to dry out (severe eczema,) or it smells heavily of chlorine.

Depends how much you use it. I was only using mine at night, and the filter lasted almost a year.

What is your question? I can't understand why these filters would expire after two or three years if you have not installed them.Perhaps the expiration applies if they've been installed and water has run through them. If you install and let them sit there for three years I can then understand having to change them after two/three year; even if they just sat there unused.

These filters last practicly forever, if you keep them clean they don't realy wear out, if you are filtering tap water you will need to clean them once or twice a year, more often if the water is more contaminated. They do filter very slowly so you might consider adding extra filters to speed up the process, I have 3 in mine and I'm adding a fouth. Otherwise these filters work fantastik!

I filter 2 to 3 gallons of water per day. A filter lasts me about 3 months, maybe a little longer. There is a little bit of black bits that float on the water before it goes down through but that's not a problem. I haven't had all those problems that others are talking about.

I have been using these filters for the f]past 5 years. From information received from the company's website, I have always understood them to last 12 months.

It depends on how hard your water is in your area. There are additives that you can buy that will keep the filter from becoming saturated with deposits, but I think most filters are good for two to three months of intermittent usage. Just check the filter to see if it is building up too much hard water deposits and not retaining its original flexibility and moisture wicking ability.

I dont know but I do know with regular easy cleaning of the filter it should last for a long long time. The filter is super easy to clean.

The filters will last for many years. Scrub them clean with the scrubby side of a sponge on a regular basis is all you need to do. I would NOT suggest using chemical cleaners on the filters.
