How do you keep track of when Replaceable Filters need to be REPLACED?

[AviatorTom]

I usually mark the date on furnace filters and water filters (for fridge, coffee machine). That way, I can know when a filter needs to be replaced. Sometimes, I also add a calendar entry in my phone to remind me to check the filter.

How about you?

What do you do?

My thermostat reminds me when to replace the filter in the air handler. My refrigerator tells me when to replace the water and fresh air filters. My car tells me whe to change the oil and oil filter. Adulthood For Dummies!

Our refrigerator has a little screen on the inside that tells you to change it. It keeps beeping at you if you don't. Every time you go to get something it beeps. Annoying but very effective.

I think my dad replaces the hvac stuff once a year. We live in a state where you don't get super harsh winters typically.

The coffee machine is one of those pod things and you just do a flush of the maker with a button once in a while. No filter to replace.

We pump our water straight from the water table. I'd always change any filter long before the recommended date because you can get a high build up of bacteria growing on them.

I wait for a post like this, and then I go check the date that I wrote on it. LOL... So I guess now I have to check. 😂

Why not change your house filters every time we have to change our clocks ⏰? Fall back, Spring forward.🙂

I just have oil filters on my gasoline powered machines. I change them every spring on my lawnmower and snowblower. My cars have a sticker I use a sharpie on.

the furnace is in an area much like a closet. I have a dated checklist taped to the inside of that closet door.

I just remember. I don't know how but I just do.

I still use a hard calendar and I write down placement and replacement dates. Amy things in the last several years are now coming with dates on them or with a reminder sticker.
