How long it lasts

Replace it when it is damaged, Kärcher says; until then Kärcher recommends emptying the filter box and cleaning the filter after each use (rinse under running water, no rubbing, dry fully before reuse).

After replacing: No reset. The WD 7 Control's filter LED shows when the filter needs cleaning or replacing; the other models have no indicator.
