Directions say to wash the filter with light soap on gentle cycle every 6 months. Also good tip to shake the can to break up and turn the carbon a bit to expose fresh surface area.
mine are lasting at least 18 months for up to 8 flowering plants and 2 drying are filtered.
As others have said, washing the pre-filter is fine, just don't wash the carbon filter or get it wet. Water and/or soap will ruin the carbon. Carbon filters should last about 24 months running 24/7. (3-4 yrs if you just run it part time). After that, you have to replace them.
My carbon fights my humidifier 247. To the point where the pre filter clogs with calcium buildup after about 2-3 weeks. It must be sucking moisture in too and yet seems to still stop the smell after 6-8 months. Just a cheap no name filter too.

Mine didnt have a warning and it was name brand off amazon. I read it online somewhere. Ro water will stop it. Or get a regular wick humidifier for the house.
Update. I blew the filter out with an air compressor and enough white dust came out to completely make a 20x20’ white cloud in the yard. There must of been two lbs of dust in that thing.

my main problem was using hard tap water in the humidifier. I’ve thrown it out since. Seemed useless. Humidity is fine without it and no white dust on everything.
