The carbon filter is basically for remove certain chemicals, particularly organic chemicals, from water. I only use this machine to create water for my bedroom humidifier. I don’t drink it.

Yes it is strange the way they have it written I have not changed the charcoal filter yet and I use it almost every day! They do give you extras of that charcoal of filter too! Hope this helps you with your question! I bought mine about three months ago.

It all depends on how much water you distill, I do mine about three months sometimes less, but I'm distilling water every other day!

I think you are right. They just gave a standard, general instruction. I also use water run thru a faucet filter so that should help a bit. I just use the water in my CPAP machine so i won't change my filter like they say.
