I'm guessing that the filter unit you're talking about is one that is hooked up in the basement and it filters out all the water in the house. If that's the kind you're talking about then it should be ok. It would actually be even better since water filters would remove the high amounts of minerals. It would prevent the shower head from clogging. I don't have a filter unit but the shower head is still working like new.

No, but my fridge filter does. This filter is for stopping all the crud in the water lines from getting into your home... such as some water lines are made out of asbestos. The junk in city water also builds into a scaly coating on the inside of the water lines. This filter will help keep any of this from getting into your home and help the fridge filter last longer.

No. Regular water but you need to add disinfectant to prevent mold and bacteria.

I don't believe so. The water filter is designed to remove organic impurities from treated water. If you are experiencing rust, it may be coming from your water heater or pipes and needs to be addressed from that channel.

I don't know. I use distilled water and that eliminates the need for a filter.

That is the purpose for which the filter was designed, it may not get viruses, but no filters really do. It will remove bacteria and Protista (giardia) an if you need to worry about viruses where you are camping you can boat treat the water with iodine drops or a UV light. But most places this filter alone will make the water safe to drink.

Yes, and once it sets up it's good bacteria, they become an amazing filter. Safe for babies. Easy to hide with a decoration, or plants. Enjoy the hobby, it is a very rewarding hobby.

Sorry. The only thing that I know of that Might work would be to distill the water and try to get rid of the contaminants afterward. The filter system that seems to filter the best, and remove the most hazards is the Berkey filters. Suggest that you research them. I spent days........,,, looking for something thy would remove salt and biochemical contaminants. There is not one that I could find. I was very impressed with the Berkey, and for a lightweight purifier, I really do like the LifeStraw. It will do more than most of the very small filters. Be sure to get this one, and not the green camoflage one that lets 2 micron particles through. That one seems to be mostly for looks. Hope this helps.

Fluval makes one, but best to reuse till it is falling apart, to preserve biological filtration. Just rinse in aquarium water (can't be chlorinated tap water bc that will destroy much of the bio filter) and return to filter.

You can use the filter that comes with it, however it needs to be rinsed each time you use it with soap and water. I don't use it at all. I use a paper filter.

No that would be a great idea. I just dump all the water and refill with fresh water.

No, this is for aquarium filtration, although if you had enough stages it would filter water. This filter media is very porous for bacteria cultures to live in to enhance aquarium filtration.

Sawyer's claim for the filter is that it removes 99.99999% of all harmful bacteria and 99.9999% of protozoa. Viruses are not included nor are other impurities mentioned. I have written to Sawyer to ask about tannin and brackish water and will reply again once I receive a return message. I'm not sure when that will be, but hope it will be soon.Keri-LynnFour Seasons Survival

Yes, it should filter e-coli and all other bacterial contamination, like all RO systems would.

Yes. Use ours without as we're not beer making, or such, that would require filtering.

Yes, the product is meant to be used in conjunction with a sanitizer such as bromine, chlorine, Nature2, or Cleanwater Blue.
