what does the water filter do? is it removing impurities while makingvj l

It removes the rest of impurities that your house filteration does not remove. If no house filteration then it would remove all impurities by changing your filters as advised. This would lengthen the life of your keurig.

I dont havr the sheet with me but i think so. On Berkeys website it will tell you what it filters. I know it does remove alot of taste from it. I live on San Antonio Texas and we have aquafer water. When I drink my girfriends Berky water it has almost no taste at all.

It get all the dust out of the air and into the water.. Therefore it purifies. The advantage is that you do not need a filter. excellent product

I bought this. The water does not go through the filter. It bubbles around the side/rim of the filter to get to the bottom of the flask. I would like to talk to the manufacturer. You would think the water would have to go through the filter to do what needs to be done. A phone number please?

The machine does not have a built in water filter. You can add one at the source of the water. We did. The machine is amazing. It takes some serious reading of instructions to get to know it well. It has some built in programing that forces you to descale the machine every so many cups of coffee, depending on your water hardness. What this does is remove lime deposits.

I haven't found it to improve the taste of the water but I've only had it for two months or so. We filter our water because our city water tastes pretty bad .

The website says: "What does the filter actually filter? The Aqua Vessel filter is tested to remove or reduce many common harmful elements that may be found in your tap water and US river water. Its coconut activated carbon removes 99.9% of Giardia and Cryptosporidium - the most commonly found parasites in US lakes and streams, and reduces heavy metals like lead, toxic chemicals like chlorine, sediments, and dirt.

Sawyer's claim for the filter is that it removes 99.99999% of all harmful bacteria and 99.9999% of protozoa. Viruses are not included nor are other impurities mentioned. I have written to Sawyer to ask about tannin and brackish water and will reply again once I receive a return message. I'm not sure when that will be, but hope it will be soon.Keri-LynnFour Seasons Survival

Hi Mary, personally I am on city water and use my filter for final polishing and not primary filtering. I would suggest you have your well water analyzed then contact Aquasana's technical support and forward them your lab results and let them tell you if their filter system is capable of purifying your water to potable standards. Please be absolutely aware of chemical toxins and biological pathogens that your lab will be able to identify. On a final note depending on you geographical location, we need to also be concerned about radiological contamination. To some extent there is a filter that is capable of addressing that problem too. If need be, ask me about it and I will look it up for you. Hope this response is of some use.

It seems to work fine. I'm thinking you need a little wiggle room for water movement Yes I got one that takes chlorine and it's evil twin BUT you have to ask for that one, and be aware There is about a month break in for the filter (Oder) after that smooth nice clean water. I live in an area that agressively treats the water and the water has many impurities.....but not for me now!

I honestly do not know yet. Just bought it about 3 months ago. I use it daily. It does need distiller water. The add on filters did not stop the white dust. Using the filters and a pure water filtered water. Seems to be a lot better. I have had the same problem of replacing units every few months so we will see. Even with distiller water I had to replace them often. Sorry I can not be more helpful. It works great now but the future is well down the road.

No it doesn't however I started using filters because the coffee grounds kept sifting through the plastic filter screen and into the water. Once I started using regular filters the clean up was also easier.

I use tap water not purified and have not had any trouble. I do clean the filters pretty regularly if its running a lot.

Good questions. Please allow me to refer you to the real authority on water purification. Bill Yost of Flat Fish USA can answer your questions regarding the ceramic water filter. I recently purchased a number of these filters through my city. I have confidence in his advice.

Its not exactly a filter, but yes, there is a removable metal mesh on the front spout that could be exchanged and/or washed/cleaned. It would not remove small particles, but only bigger parts (calcium deposits from hard water for example).
