Does this unit have charcoal filters to clean water before brewing?

no, I do not have chlorinated water, so that doesn't matter to me. But I am sure it does to anyone with city water. Only thing you could do is filter prior or use bottled water.

Yes Mrs Brooks, the primary charcoal/foam filter and the pleated Hepa filter were both in place when I unpacked my unit. All I had to do was read the instructions, plug it in and turn it on.

I have had the same issue. I contacted PUR customer service and they said to run water through the filter before using it. They stated that during packing and shipping the charcoal can cause dust sediment. Since then I have not had any issues using the filters. I to have a Keurig and have not had an issue with clogging since then.

As the other person who has been distilling for 20 years there is no good reason to use charcoal filters, steamed / distilled vapors are only h20, no solutes. Adding anything only introduces new ways for bacteria to get in your water.

I believe the filter you need (if you wish to use one) is called the "Basket Filter." I know the unit comes with it's own metal filter but I find them messy to empty and clean, and I also believe that the paper filters contribute to a better tasting brew.

It does filter some types of chemicals. I bought it to filter water in a survival situation, so I mainly wanted it to filter protozoa and the like. I would suggest some type of charcoal filter system for better tasting water and chemical filtering. I must tell you that I am no expert. I only know what I have read. I hope this helps.

Charcoal water filters are optional on coffeemakers. If you don't use them, the coffeemaker will function properly. This is true both of my Kenmore and my Capresso. This Capresso unit's manual says that if you have well water and choose not to use the water filter, you can press the filter button on the machine and it won't monitor it for you. (otherwise, after X brewing cycles, the filter light will flash).

Yes, I believe it is normal for filters to do this. Mine does that as well. I assume they use charcoal that helps the filtering process. None of my charcoal goes into the drinking water thou. When I first got mine I thought that it was kind of weird but I was pretty sure it would go away after the filter was broken in. But even after a couple of months the black specs continue to show up. I was thinking if they just put a mess over the top part this may help. I am so happy with my filter and how the water tastes. I now recommend them to all my family and friends. Hope this helps.

No filters, but will require cleaning from time to time. I want to also stress that this a a small unit and is only good for one small room.

Yes, the final step is a carbon filter before the distilled water is sent to the glass jar. To order please click "See this seller's offer" below.Thanks,CoolShinyStuff ------------------------------------------------------------ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼

Yes, it does. It also includes a "k-cup" insert that breaks within a few uses. As for the whole pot brewer you'll need disposable coffee filters.

No. I use a charcoal filter. It removes almost all the chlorine , no taste or smell in the filtered water. I change it every six months.

Yes, and be sure to run water through the filter for a minute to flush out any carbon particles, etc. If this is to be water for drinking, use a recommended drinking water hose instead of a regular garden hose.

I don't believe their is a filter . only a water demineralization cartridge in that unit . if you go too the unit info from manufacturer it will say no filter to clean ..

Yes, take out the plastic holding the carbon filter to filter water. Definitely use a filter in the coffee basket when making the coffee.
