Can it be installed without the filter?

Yes. A filter is unnecessary. However, depending on whether your water source is full of minerals or organics, you might want to add a filter. I added a filter.

Yes. A filter is recommended, but the connection can be made directly to your supply line.

Yes it is easier to install without the filter. With the filter you need a T on the cold water in line that you have to get extra from plumbing supply

Yes, I installed mine without a filter. Been running great for 10 years. Besides, I didn't think I needed a filter for boiling water.

There is no reason why you couldn't if you wished. We prefer the mesh filter that comes with the unit -- easy to clean -- but removing it and using a paper one instead is certainly viable.

It seems to be OK without using any kind of filter. If 'hard' water is a problem in your area and you do not want white dust deposited in the room, buy the demineralization 'filter'.

Nope. No filter required. Nothing required but water. We love ours! Works well.

No this does not require a filter. Humidifiers without filters have an option for a filter (ball) in the reservoir/tank, but it's definitely not required for normal operation

Yes it can but, you will need to pick up an adapter the set up the filter........In my opinion not worth the effort

yes. But, I do not recommend this item. We bought 2 and neither one works properly with or without the filter. We used their old style water system for years but it has been discontinued.

You probably don't need the extra filtration, but without the filters, I imagine the water pressure within the fountain would be too great, and it would end up spurting water everywhere. Just a guess. However, on another note, I returned this fountain because the pump housing imparts a strong chemical odor to the water that even I noticed. My cat wouldn't go near it.

No the mash on the filter is very fine. You don't need a filter but if you wanted to use one you could but I don't know why you would.

No you don't have to use the frabreeze filters, I don't have mine in and works fine....

Mine replaced another cooler so I didn't need an installation kit. It does not come with a filter.

Short term yes you can do without but water is hard to maintain quality over long time and no filter means no oxygen in the water so it goes bad faster. Small water tester should let you know when its time to start over.

Yes this unit truly works without filters. Just the normal cleaning with white vinegar and occasional diinfecting with clorox, it is a great product.

There are no filters necessary, but you will need to take it apart to clean it occasionally as you will get mineral build up around the heater and on the plastic.

I don't own this, but one of the reviews posted here says no filters are required. Thought that might help you.

This unit does not include any filter, we have inline filters that can be purchased separately.
