I'm trying to remember but since 2006....I've only gone through 2 HEPA filters on my rainbow and I'm now on my third. I've never used it without a hepa filter. I will say one thing I do... I fill the basin with more water...over the line..Not so much water than it causes issues...but more water than is recommended. Like 1/2 inch over the dome and line. I cringe when I see rainbow videos on youtube and I can tell there's not enough water in the basin..
anywayz - My house isn't super dirty because I'm a clean freak...but I've vacuumed up some nasty stuff with my rainbow..for a while I was using my rainbow to suck the bin of a bagless vacuum clean...you really can't get much more nasty than that..Afterwards, I would clean the separator and check the filter and it was fine...I've never experienced a rainbow filter clogging personally...the only reason I changed the two so far is because I just felt like it had been so long...
Yes - opening your windows and fresh air is best unless you're somewhere dusty. I had nice fresh air pouring through my house the all day yesterday.
