Not sure I use this on my sink for drinking water and it removes the foul taste in the water soy guess would be it would give you clear ice

You do not need the filters to get ice or cold water. Just reset the filter and reuse it. However Amazon is so low in cost get the 2filters at less than half of the company charge. I even got free shipping..GO AMAZON!!!!!

Not a photo trick at all, yeah you can definitely make the ice clear. Just takes a little practice because it depends on how pure the water is and how fast it cools. Use the best water not tap, then boil it. Play around putting different places in the freezer.

This uses the standard regular basket shaped filters. Sorry if that doesn't help, I'm not sure if it's a numbered thing like other filters.

The crystals are sort of like ice, not exactly white and not really clear. They do get more clear when water is added.

no, it comes with a permanent, reusable filter. it's worked fine for me, and saves me the trouble of fooling with paper filters!

No, they come in a white crystal form. I actually haven't used it yet so I don't know if they stay white or clear when absorbed. I bought them to make icy cool neckerchiefs.

To answer your question, I must address your concerns about "white" and "bitter-flavor" separately. Yes, these ice cubes are white, not crystal clear. The white color is from air entrapped as the cubes form on the refrigerated rods. The entrapped air makes the ice cubes "soft" and easily chewed if you are inclined to chew ice. We love this consistency. These ice cubes do not, however, have a bitter flavor. As I stated in my review, you must clean the ice maker when you first use it to get rid of the slight "new plastic" taste, but after that the ice does not have any bad flavor. We love this ice machine! Hope this helps.

No. but filters are readily available at any grocery store. It takes a #2 cone filter.

Yes it does. I have now been using this for a few months and have found it to work perfectly. No more bad smells or taste in my water. (filters can be purchased for about $10 each)

No, there is no filter because you pour water into it. We use our bottled water at our office. We love this ice maker in our office. We have 11 employees and it is perfect for us. We watch the water level and add water as needed. if you decide to turn it off for a time (long holiday) you should drain it through the little drain hose) and wipe it out.

I believe the filter you need (if you wish to use one) is called the "Basket Filter." I know the unit comes with it's own metal filter but I find them messy to empty and clean, and I also believe that the paper filters contribute to a better tasting brew.

No. It is crystal clear just like new. We only use it for cold beverages though.

Since I have no use for ice cubes I have no experience to draw from. I can say this about the water from my Aquasana filter. If I let it stand overnight it is crystal clear the following day and my well water is very hard.

Clear as in without filter? No, there is a slight tint to it. Not as noticeable as other gaming/computer glasses, but it helps.
