Can you use a flat iron to seal the filters?

I think you probably could, although I have not tried it. I received the small one free when I purchased the filters

I'm sure you could though, it's about the same thing you receive with the purchase of the filters

If you have really high iron, higher than 5-6 ppm, then you should use a separate iron filter in line first. The air injection platinum iron filter or filox iron filter, followed by a water softener. Visit afwfilters for more info on those. Mark 785-735-9769

We use a metal mesh filter, but the standard flat-bottom paper ones work fine.

Absolutely. Product has hose fitting on each end and the short hose which comes with the filter will make the process easier.

I took a look at the filters I bought and couldn't find any kind of holes throughout the filter, not even tiny ones. You might want to post a picture for people to compare. In any case, the filters are supposed to stop tiny particles of dirt. Any holes will defeat the purpose.

Sure. I just use the filter that comes with it but the paper filter would work too.

I use a flat bottom gold filter but any flat bottom ( not cone shape ) mr coffee style paper filters will work.

I have not tried at this time, my guess is that you can, this is a pretty common filter and is in wide use. I purchased my first one from a farm supply house.

Don't know, I got rid of both filters, they sucked, both leaked from day one. Piss poor molding on the too half. Don't buy it

A foodsaver vacuum sealer works, you can also use an impulse sealer. I have heard of people using an iron as well but I haven't tried that.

No - you really have to line up the tube on the filter with the top tube. They slide together. It was kind of a pain sometimes.

Not really. I think what you want is a particulate filter or reverse osmosis for that issue.

This is Connie, again...In response to one of your other messages, these filters do NOT need a sealing system, so don't waste your money on one. The flat top piece folds down neatly over the cup shaped piece, and it is ready to go. Works just like a pre-made pod. The only advantage to the sealing system would be to make a supply in advance.

If the filter is smaller than the tool you can grab the side panels and squeeze while your turning and it should work. Tony's suggestion about sandpaper is also a good idea too. Its a good tool imo but remember it is a cheap tool too.

You can but this system also filters the iron content. You don't need anything else with this system.
