for traveling, to avoid cracking filter, are there flexible filter holders? I also use filters to pour boiled tap water to remove mineral deposits.

I've not seen any. I have, in a pinch, overlapped and tied the filter to a tall mug or jar, though it is a PITA to do so.

Not that I know of. The rsvp filter holder is not flexible nor would I want it flexible.

I have seen silicone collapsible filter cones. Check under camping supplies.

Sorry I haven't this knowledge. Sounds like you want a solar still, or some sort of camping gear.

I have filter on my tap water and there is a filter in the coffee maker. There is to much junk in plain tap water in my house so I wouldn't use tap

I live in an area where water is very hard. The filter doesn't remove the calcium. I can see that while boiling the filtered water; have to clean the boiler every day if I don't want to have any sediment in my tea. I find the Berkey filter more effective.

This filter system is portable. You can put in on anywhere you want. Water is manually filled from the top.

Any hot water that gets through the metal screen can potentially come into contact with the plastic body before passing on into your cup. I understand wanting to minimize contact with plastic; I bought this filter hoping to minimize the use of paper filters. I actually returned this unit b/c coffee grounds were not filtered well; they were in my cup of coffee, which defeats the purpose of using a filter.

The answers below are correct and will work fine for you. The filter holder is like a flat stick with a finger hole in the top to help you pull it out.

Yes you can. There are tabs that you attach to the sides of the screen that the filter slides in and out of. I take mine off regularly.

The filter does not allow for deep concentration of filtration. I would check out camping-specific filters for that application. I think I would carry a metal water bottle for camping. The plastic is durable but the lid can split if bumped around.

I don't think so. As I remember, the center of a DE filter element houses a pipe that conveys water through the DE socks. This cartridge needs to go in that location, and non-DE filter systems have an empty space here. BUT, you could put this cartridge anywhere in the filter stream, as long as the water gets flushed over this cartridge the minerals will dissolve and work. Maybe you could make an inline holder for the cartridge out of some PVC pipe, use it on the intake side and it should work fine. I worry about using the PVC pipe on the discharge side sue to possible pressure buildup.

We use a PUR faucet filter, works OK for us. Cartridges are a bit pricey, but they last a long time for coffee and cooking. If you drink a lot of water, well ...

depending on how hot your dry cycle is you can place it in the dishwasher. i cant say that i have ever needed to wash my permanent filter. a good rinsing with tap water has always been effective if you get to it before the grounds are all dryed out. the plastic can take the heat and so can the filter material, it is the way that the bond between the two gets funny when it gets too hot.

Yes, it is designed so you can remove the filters easily. Just remember to check on the water quality more often once filter is removed.

Yes, either paper filters as standard or Krups offer a metal filter as an optional extra. We chose the permanent metal filter to avoid the mess around endless paper filters.

It comes with 2 filters, I expect it will need more if you use it for more than just occasional travel. It is meant to screw on a slightly wide mouthed bottle but will sit on those with smaller diameters, just be careful not to knock it over.

Check with the specifications of your filtration system. Some water softeners only remove mineral deposits from your water, so if that's the case then yes you will benefit from this filter as well. If your system removes chlorine then there's no need to use this one. Although you could always buy one to take with you when you travel.

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

This is a portable unit that stuctures water not a filter for another unit. You just pour unstrctured water into the top and have another container under the funneled part. I usually use two water bottles. It works perfectly. You can carry it in your purse or suitcase when traveling. I wouldn't put it in the checked suitcase but in the carry on suitcase because I would worry about it being damaged in route. I have been extremely happy with mine for drinking water and water I use for my plants. You can definitely taste the difference between the unstructured and structured water. I would highly recommend it
