What additional supplies (filters, water conditioner, etc) is suggested for optimal use of the unit?

first and foremost I think you need to read the manual that came with the humidifier.you'll definitely need the EZCAL cleaner/descaler packets, and hydro cells, water maintenance system. The last item you need is an Ag+ ionic silver demineralization cartridge. Read and follow all the instructions.

Your supposed to used both. The more filtration the better. Also depends on how many fish you have.

Hi Dave, I honest dont believed you need so many filters. The water flow seams weak for the ratings its true. Now remember what you going after is a steady and consistent flow of water with the right bacteria and minerals fish need to stay healty. You get two of this canisters you will be a believer as well. Just know they need to get clean every 3 months. The best part you dont even know they there working because you hear nothing unlike most annoying motors, power heads are a lot of work after a while. Hope this helps.

You need to have your water checked, sometimes, depending on the quality of the water (well water for example), you might need a softener or purifier. Most municipal water won't need these extras. You will also need a venting system if the unit is inside.

I don't know the answer to that, I just use the filters that came with it.Remember to clean them after each use.

I installed a double set close to the main water supply and before my water softener. If you change the filters regularly you should have no issues.

Buy one of those portable water filter and filter the water that way. Then use that to pour into the humidifier tank

As i recall there is the unit with two filters in it, the water tubes with a faucet connector, and adapters for different types of faucet threading. Join the filters for life, it is worth it for the support.

That depends on what you plan on using it for. If keeping shrimp or fry just an air pump and some tubing. If using in a larger tank with multiple fish you will need an additional filter ( HOB or Canister )

It comes with everything you need... the base unit, the water reservoir, filter and cleaning brushes. You just need to supply the outlet and the water!

Hi Gray, The Aqua-Pure system includes the storage tank, first set of filters/membrane, faucet and an installation kit. Some additional parts may be required depending on the installation. Once installed and the system is flushed it can be used. Thank You, Customer Service Center WaterFiltersOnline

The unit I purchased came with the required filters to operate, however, additional filters can be purchased if you are looking for specific needs. You can review your needs and decide if you would like to add one. I purchased some pre-filters to catch large clothes and rug lint. Seems to work. No need to purchase the additional holder for them since they are light and fit nicely and remove easily without it. I have also been able to reuse them after shaking the lint free like you would with a 'chalk eraser'. The pre filters also provide a handy medium to apply essential oil scents that can enhance sleeping or breathing experiences.

You can put any size filter you need. You can place anywhere between the machine and the water line hook up.

Most likely, can you install a pre-filter? I use mine as condensers for stripping stills. I have 5 in use.

Hello, the unit can use up to 4 filters at a time, each one has a life of 3,000 gallons, I hope I helped you, have a nice day.

We do not use a filter on ours. We use a descaler every other month. Using bottles distilled water helps also. We have never looked into an additional filter.

Yeah, I use tap water for mine. Just be sure to follow the 24-hr soaking instructions on the main filter unit if you're starting with tap water.
