Can you use this with fountains - or does the filter stop it from working?

It is a very liquid like water. I suppose you could except that the filter might filter out the active ingredients. I don't know how it would react to the charcoal filter in those watering bowels. I put mine in a cage water bowl so I know he'll drink it.

I saw posted somewhere that a different manufacturer's device automatically is set to do this after a certain amount of water has flowed through it. Simply removing and then reseating the filter MIGHT fix the issue, although I can't guarantee it will be the same for this device.

You can buy a filter for it, but it is not required to make it work. I use distilled water in mine and there is no danger.

The filter lasts about a month for our family of two. However, it stops working prior to that time and we need to take it out and bang it on the sink several times to get it working again. When it actually stops working for good, the water gets a real foul odor and taste. We only put up with the inconvenience because when it works right it is far better water than we can get with any other filter.

I have heard that if the filters aren't replaced regularly the water flow is affected. Not sure if this will help your problem but it's something to consider.

Yes! When the filter reaches its limit, the water flow will diminish almost down to a trickle. If that happens for more than 1 day, it's time to change the filter. Depending upon usage, you may need to change the filter once a month.

It isn't a good idea. You should only use water or the filters will get clogged up.

The filter creates about 90 percent of the evaporation so it will still work a little, but your best bet is to get a filter and run it intermittently on a timer to preserve your filter life...

Absolutely, if the water jet from the filter ripples the water too much it will set off.

yep, where the device attaches to the faucet is a little knob. the faucet just runs normal until you pull out the knob, then the filter runs. as soon as you turn off the water and the pressure stops, the knob automatically pops off.

I haven't had this issue at all. No problems. Check to see that the filter is in right and screwed shut, make sure it is attached well to the faucet

Any water will work although we recommend minimum of filtered water, we are located in FL and the unit comes with a 1 year warranty have a great day!

We used this filter as a secondary unit in a much larger (1500 gal) pond to help with algae control. Since it is not very easy to clean the filter, I would not use it as an only filter unit. I think that it was hellpful in algae control as would recommend it as a secondary unit. The fountain is nice and, of course, helps to aerate the water.

I use this system at home, and a larger version (from a chemical supplier) in the laboratory that I manage. We routinely use the industrial version for a couple of years, because the water it is purifying has already been distilled, so the demand is low. There is no reason that the filters should not last for that time, assuming the useage is low enough. KLL

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

I have not had any problems with mine but I use a filtered water! Suggest you try that first!

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?
