Many filters give estimates of their lifespan. You can either replace it on a calendar schedule or estimate your usage and replace it based off of how much water you have put through it.

Pretty much what I do, however, I stopped using the whole house type filter and went to the KDF inline style to handle the big stuff (I've not found it to be restrictive for either flow or pressure) just for ease of setup and space taken up.
I replace the blue filter every season, or, if I notice a problem with it, sooner. So far, once per season has worked out fine. It keeps the big stuff (sand, grit, etc.) out of the system. The Pur filter for drinking water has an indicator that lets me know when to replace it. We were on the road for a 4 month trip last year...both lasted the whole trip.
