If you clean it regularly you don't have to replace it until it breaks. The instructions that come with the Keurig specify that you should clean it regularly, and they sell the cleaning products in ready-to-use packets/containers.
Mine has a charcoal water filter that snaps in to the water reservoir. Plus I pull out the well where the k-pod goes and clean that every week, plus I run the cleaner through every few months. PLUS I use filtered water to begin with, so there's less sediment that can grow bacteria.
