Quick answer
Plan to drain and refill every 3 to 4 months, or sooner with heavy use.
The full answer
Over time dissolved solids build up and the sanitizer can no longer keep up. A common rule of thumb: divide the tub volume in gallons by the average daily bathers, then divide by 3, to estimate days between changes. Most households land on every 90–120 days.
Clean the filter and wipe the shell during each refill.
