Does the water dispenser have any kind of charcoal filter?

No there's no filter. I'm not sure there'd be enough space to put one on it. I would just filter the water first. Hope this helps.

No. It is a plastic bowl and a plastic bottom. Nothing between the water and the base except a screw on cap with a hole in it. You could do the same thing with an empty pop bottle. I do fill it with water from my Britta pitcher.

There is a charcoal filter and also a foam type filter that sits around the pump.

Hi Elena, Not sure about that but I would certainly try it as the water is charcoal filtered.

Actually, the filter doesn't have _any_ charcoal in it! Like K. Baker says, "The filter is like a very loose sponge." Actually, it's like two loose sponges glued to a center frame. [Makes ya wonder if/how the glue affects the water.] You can actually see through the "filter". I fail to see how these filters can do anything other than remove giant particulate; they're low-budget quality. But I'm a new Cleanflow owner--less than a week--so maybe I'm dead wrong about the filter's effectiveness... but how can a "see through" water filter be a good thing?

I don't. Does your fountain have a filter and if so, is it filtering out the Oratene?

Mine didn't but I have used one of these devices for about 30 years. The filters are too small to do any good so I pour the distilled water into a Brita pitcher and dispense it from there.

The unit will work without a filter and does not have one. I have connected my reverse osmosis system to the dispenser. It works great. If a reverse osmosis system is not available, an in line carbon filter will do just fine for drinking water. This filter can be very inexpensive. I will be glad to help if you have any other questions. FPROPLUMBING@GMAIL.COM

The charcoal filter is separate from the mesh filter. However, the charcoal filter is designed to (and does) fit very nicely within an indentation engineered into the back of the mesh filter frame and is attached with 2 push on metal clips. No tools necessary. Very simple.

Yes! This is the PRE-FILTER that goes around the pump housing. The charcoal filter (NOT THIS ITEM) sits in a container on top of the pump for the Pagoda.

I haven't had any issues with excess charcoal coming out. Like with faucet filters, there may be a little bit of dusty charcoal ash that's washed out very quickly before first use. I liked using the filter with my Tower Garden enough that I reordered the same kind for this growing season. Hope this helps.

Yes, the one I bought on Amazon did come with a filter. And the plumber who installed it seemed to have all the necessary pieces in the box.

No. The order that I just received only has filtered water and regular flow.

Yes, it comes with a complete filtration system using a traditional charcoal filter cartridge to remove chemical wastes. There is no biological filter, though. I personally removed the charcoal filter cartridge and replaced it with a mesh bag full of bioballs for biological filtration, behind a fabric rectangle for physical filtration. I rinse them during water changes and the water quality remains good. Of course, it took a few weeks to get the bioballs inoculated with beneficial bacteria before I could introduce fish again.

Yes there is. Its on the right side. It also has a water filter that you can buy the charcoal filter packs.I change mine every month

yes, there is a filter but this is a unreliable kettle. I bought 5 months ago. when it worked it is okay, not the best. It started leaking and I have to ship it back for a refuns

If I remember correctly, there may be an order form for the charcoal filters in the box when you get the distiller. I remember mentally kicking myself for accidentally throwing it out when I threw out all of the packing materials. Nutriteam, Inc. is the company that ships the distiller (the machine itself is made in Taiwan). If you go to the Nutriteam website, they should have replacement filters available for sale. Here's the site:http://www.nutriteam.com/12-pack-charcoal-filters-for-megahome-distiller.html I hope this helps.

that's the charcoal used to filter the water. it must be a cheaper charcoal than other filters I have used. Another reason I gave this fountain to the thrift store.
