There are 52 weeks in a year. If you fill it once per week that's 52 times in a year. Every three months is a good idea because the filters get stale.

it depends how much water goes through the filter. If it's less than average then I'd guess 4-5 months. If it's more than average, 2-3 months. but I'd certainly change it if this is a charcoal filter since once the charcoal has reached it's limit in filtering water, you could actually contaminate the water.
