I think they are referring to the filter CARTRIDGE that goes inside the
filter. They are good for 100 gallons, more or less depending on the
model you use. They also cost $10 to $20 a pop depending on what filter
you are using.
If you are going on a weekend or weeklong trip, I don't think it makes
any sense to throw out the cartridge unless there is damage to it or it
is old. Seems like a waste of money to get a new one *every* time you go
on a new trip. They technically should last long enough for a few trips.
