Yes and no. It would but it would also filter out the flavor. I would assume you would end up with just water.

I don't believe so. It is made so that water for washing hands and dishes is not filtered.

Chlorine is listed as one of the chemicals this filters. There are plenty of videos on youtube showing just how much abuse you can subject this thing to and still get potable water to drink.

I have had DE Filters for years and I believe pool pefect phos free even helps keep my filters cleaner. Don't think you would have a problem- only positive results.

two things that come to mind, you can buy a clarifier, usually in a 30 oz bottle I think. they are supposed to bind the small dirt particles together so the filter traps them more easily. If that doesn't work I've had to vacuum out to waste and add more clean water to the pool. good luck

it should filter the same as any Brita pitcher. i saw no difference - just could hold more water than my other pitcher!

No. Chlorine can only be removed by distillation, a charcoal filter, or reverse osmosis. Charcoal can only remove so much, then it must be changed. John

Properly treated pool water is likely as potable as you can find. But if you think the chlorine taste is too strong, just let it sit for awhile especially in the sun, and the chlorine will break down and evaporate. In a survival situation more chlorine is better.

I don't think so, it's disposable. I vacuumed the surface of my machine but not the filter

I don't believe it will! I believe it is a taste and sediment filter only! As far as I know the filtration of microbes or bacteria is beyond this filters capability!

Not sure about the things you are asking about. My understanding is that the filters are for filtering out heavy metals from the water such as lead, murcery etc. It definatly makes the water taste MUCH better regardless..hope that helps!

unfortunately no. It just removes other sediment, which we get quite a lot from broken pipes In our city. After the water goes through these house filters then our drinking water goes through a reverse osmosis system and that runs to a spigot in the kitchen and ice maker. The reverse osmosis removes the horrible chlorine taste the house filters do not.

Its gonna depend on how bad the water is that your putting in it to be filtered. I bought one, and I wish I hadnt. It leakes, and doesn't hold very much water. I'm constantly refilling it.

absolutely not! It is fabulous. It actually balances with your chlorine to get rid of other mineral buildups, cuts the chlorine use in almost half. We use 1 of their tablets to every 3 chlorine in our pool and never have any problems anymore. We used to get areas of green algae around the filter and drain before . I highly recommend it.

Yes, it certainly does filter contaminants from sea water. However, it does not desalinate seawater, so you would not be able to drink it.

No. This filter will not accomplish that. You will need a reverse osmosis system to do that. Also, please remember to take important mineral supplements when drinking that highly effective purification system water. The same goes for distilled water. If you can afford a reverse osmosis water purification system, it is the best choice of all for healthy water to drink. Another cost for such luxury is your water bill will go up (if you pay for metered water as I do), because I think it takes five gallons of water to make one gallon of purified water.
