Is the tank a reservoir for filtered water? Or is that just the filter where the water runs through when we turn on the drinking faucet?

The tank is the filter the water runs through. The water flows at the same volume the entire time it is turned on. Love this product. Been using it for about 3 month and have not complaints or issues.

It is a small mesh filter on the O-Ring before the pressure regulator. You have to disconnect the unit from the faucet and you can pop it out and clean it. If you have bad water with a lot of particles in it you will need to do this often because it is small filter but it does keep the junk out of the system.

Yes, it works great just filling up the water from the top. You can then use filtered water if you want.

It filters, but it doesn't heat the water. And make sure you never let the pump run without the lids on the tanks. We ended up with all three Bettas in one tank and it did not end well!

No it should be okay...it's just the tank releasing the water to the faucet. Call Watts Premier if you have any questions.

no - that is the only water i run through it and all ok. i did have a tank stop heating after about 8 years and replaced with another insinkerator

it is an inline filter. That means it is placed in the water line before the appliance. If your FRIDGE has a built in filter, THIS IS NOT FOR YOU.

The filtered water doesn't come out of the tap, but from the unit which must be postitioned over the sink edge. It takes a second to finish coming through after you turn off the tap so you can either adjust to that or let the last few drops spill down into the sink. To turn the filter on, you have to pull the pin on the adapter they send to go on your faucet end, so the water only goes through the filter when you do that. To get hot water, just turn on the hot water tap the way you would without a filter & it comes out of the faucet, not through the filter unit. I'm very pleased with this unit as it doesn't interfere with the tap faucet itself & I can fit a large pot under it easily.

No filter! Just a cheapie aquarium! I still use mine and have had it for a few years now however the light burned out pretty quick and I never could find a replacement. I actually use another light from a tank that does not fit and I have to balance it on the top, kind of a pain. Tank still going strong though!

This has it's own faucet. This is not to be installed on a regular faucet, unless you did some fancy plumbing to the cold side ONLY. These filters are not to be used for hot water. The problem with installing this to filter all the cold water that comes out of you tap is, it simply will not provide enough flow. So, for example, if you are turning your water on warm full blast, the cold side will not flow near as fast as the hot, and the water will be too hot. This system is designed to provide pure, cold water so you can start drinking from the tap again and use this water in your coffee making and cooking. In our home, I installed a filtration system to replace bottled water use. This has it's own faucet.

Filter free. Or it has a filter built in that doesn't need replacing. I'm not sure. The only thing that can be opened/accessed is the water reservoir. The instruction manual doesn't mention a filter. It's a very simple design. That is not to say the technology is simple...

No it is just a faucet. You'll have to purchase whatever filter system you want and connect it.It is a very solid faucet and works much better than the other ones I purchased from local store or online.

It connects to the faucet and sits on the countertop... The instructions say not to run hot water (only cold) through it. I think hot might mess up the filter media.

This is not a reverse osmosis system. There is no tank. The water runs directly through the filters and out of the spout.

Ummm ... sort of. Tank is like a gallon jug with screw-on lid at top. Opening is just over 3 inches diameter. Rest is ok to clean. Not a lot of cleaning required if you use filtered water in it.

Yes,... I've fill the onboard reserve tank using a hose and filter. You need to flush out the filter first beforehand though.
