How long does a ZeroWater filter last?
Unfortunately, there's no single answer to this question, as frequency of filter change will depend on how hard the filter is working (the amount of dissolved solids it's filtering) and how often it is used (total amount of water filtered over time). Most Zerowater filters last somewhere between 2-4 months.2021-11-25
