No, not so far. I bought mine February last year just before lockdown, (which was a stroke of luck given my coffee machine's needs and the difficulty of getting delivery slots from supermarkets) and I haven't yet had to change the filters. All you have to do is make sure you empty the last litre out before refilling the tank (avoid the temptation to top up the tank). I think you're supposed to change the filters every year or when it tells you to (flashing lights), but I'm now 6m over that and it hasn't complained, or beeped or flashed. You can do some sort of deep clean on it before you put the new filters in, which I will probably do. I need to remind myself how to do that. There's a thread on it on the coffee forum somewhere, I'll have to have a look to see what you're supposed to do, but so far I've just used mine for 18 months without anything other than washing out the tank and refilling it. I think the only other thing is if you're going on holiday, to empty the tank and also use up the already filtered water, because once the chlorine has been removed the water has a 'shelf life'.Looks and sounds impressive, does the unit itself require much maintenence?
Edit
Just found the thread where they're discussing how to sterilise it with Milton. (What doesn't get explicitly mentioned is that you can buy a kit which has 'blank filters' which I think lets you put Milton in the supply tank and run it through). DavecUK mentions a way to get round it without these blank filters.
Osmio zero sterilising
@DavecUK Any thoughts / recommendations on frequency of sterilising the water container on the Osmio. The instructions say every 6 months when changing the filters. I have been using it since December and followed the empty / fill sequence religiously . The water from the Osmio has started tastin...
