How long it lasts
Replace it when the canister mesh has rips or tears, Zodiac says; empty and rinse it after every cycle and wash it now and then with soapy water and a soft brush.
After replacing: No reset needed. Robots with a filter-full light on the control box or in the iAquaLink app clear it after the canister is emptied and a new cycle starts.
